Test if your ISP is manipulating BitTorrent traffic

My new research project deals with ISP traffic manipulation. We just released a test that can detect ISP BitTorrent blocking or throttling. You can find it at http://broadband.mpi-sws.mpg.de/transparency/bttest.php.

The webpage also features the full source code of the tool and a results page that gives an overview of our findings so far (and will be updated periodically with new results).
