These cheap tricks with our money should be legally disputed, why do I have to pay money to wait for a full patch install that usually fixes your errors.
Why do YOU limit the download speed for a measly 50 Mb of data?
And yes my internet provider offers better services than you.

having users open 50 different ports in no order just to get simple torrents from uploading to everyone just makes everyone ignore it.
many already have torrent clients configured, let them use them so everyone can download updates faster.
or atlest change it to only use 1 port, other torrent clients work that way.
