I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that there are now emule mods available that include protocol encryption to thwart ISP traffic shaping. For those of you unfamiliar with traffic shaping, essentially it involves your ISP identifying and blocking traffic from popular p2p applications (Bit Torrent/Emule/etc). While there are not that many ISPs that do this right now, expect more and more ISPs to implement traffic shaping (as new CISCO hardware has P2P throttling built in standard). It has been widely reported that most ISPs in Italy have implemented traffic shaping, and a major service provider in Canada uses a particularly brutal brand. Often, as in my case, there are no alternative service providers to turn to because of monopolization of the market. I encourage everyone to consider using one of the emule mods that has encryption built in. The more users that use these mods and enable encryption, the better it will be for those of us living under throttling regimes, and ultimately for the community at large. I especailly would like to encourage releasers to try and make sure that at least someone sharing their releases is using an encryption enabled mod.

Currently there are two mods that use encryption:
