Rogers and IP addresses

[Dave Germiquet]

I still had problems using rtorrent and encryption, I think rogers
capps ENCRYPTED traffic on some people.

I know some people who have problems, and some people who don't :S
I know some people who have tried going around it by using the VOIP port too..

I got rid of rogers cause of this.
