I'm quickly approaching my posting limit for the day (week?) but I can't resist telling you the following story:

I recently found myself somewhere where BitTorrent is severely throttled. Although I can download over HTTP at megabytes per second, BitTorrent downloads wouldn't go faster than 10 kilobytes per second.

Turns out that the newest Azureus (BitTorrent application) supports IPv6. Enabled this and lo and behold: I got about 75 peers, 5 of which were IPv6, the rest IPv4. Of the IPv6 peers, one had a regular IPv6 address, the other four 6to4 addresses. Even though the 70 IPv4 peers could only give me 10 kB/s, the 5 IPv6 peers pushed my download well beyond 100 kB/s.

May be that's just because of your rating in these peering networks? ;)
