It's actually the broadcast traffic that makes the big difference. Regular
routed TCP traffic is fine, that is what the neworking equipment was made to
handle, but torrents attempt to be decentralized so make a lot of broadcast
noise to find other torrent clients nearby. I suppose if you had enough of them
on one "local" network it might generate enough to crash crappy equipment :).

In the US and A, most of the bigger ISPs seem to go the "we'll take care of it"
approach to the DMCA requests, which is preferable to the alternative.
