Default Eclipse blocking torrents?

For the last couple of days I've had big problems connecting to trackers, for many hours in the evening I just don't get a connection. It's fine the next day and then gone again in the evening.

A google produced this from the 24th September:

Quote:
Has your BitTorrent stopped working today? Try this....

Get firefox. Use the User Agent Switcher extension:
http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/

Set it up in Tools->User Agent Switcher->Options->Options, add a
user-agent, anything in the first line, "uTorrent/1610" (without quotes)
in the second line. Alternatively, try "Asureus" - that doesn't work for
me either.

Try to browse any web page.

Does it work for you? It doesn't for me. Change it back to any other
useragent, and everything works again.

Eclipse doesn't even be polite in sending back an RST, they just seem to
silently drop the packets.
I guess what that's doing is making Firefox identify itself as uTorrent (which is the application I use) and when I do what it says, I can't connect to any web site.

So that says to me that Eclipse are now blocking torrent applications at certain times of the day.

It's not so bad with existing and ongoing downloads as uTorrent works without being able to connect to the tracker via DHT but one site I use doesn't support that so everything just stops.

I'm annoyed.
