BitTorrent traffic makes up a large portion of total internet traffic. Some ISPs deal with it by increasing their capacity. Other ISPs use specialised hardware to throttle, or slow down BitTorrent traffic. Encryption makes BitTorrent traffic harder to detect and therefore harder to throttle. It is not designed to provide anonymity.
