Glasnost. In a different context.
I am a bit torrent fan, especially since I moved to India. There is no real way one can watch the movies/TV shows one wants to, except using BT. So, it annoys the crap out of me when I hear of ISPs blocking/slowing BT usage. Thankfully, Google has just released a suite of broadband test tools called MeasurementLab. It includes a fantastic tool called Glasnost which tells you if your ISB is throttling or blocking your BitTorrent connections. I ran a test and found that ISB (my ISP, of sorts) is not messing with my connection at home. How about you?
