Encryption Options?

[TheDougler]

I'm looking for some more potent encryption abilities built into transmission. It really is a deal breaker because my ISP is a complete derkwad and limit my speeds to the the lower end of the 100kb/s of speed per download. I'm sure more people are having this issue, and its the only reason i currently use Vuze (which is an awful bloated client that is slow and and gifted with a horrendous GUI)

Potential Fix?:
Have the transmission program auto locate the users location then contact a server querying the ISP's in that area, return the list to the users Transmission program. They select there ISP from the list and then Transmission queries the same server with the IP, and returns the necessary security measures to the application which will auto configure itself for optimal performance. A speed test could also be built in to allow the program to configure that as well.

I personally think this could be a very useful addition to the program and would allow for much simpler configuration for new users.

I'd love to volunteer for this project, however my programming is not quite up to snuff yet(I'm still in school ) When it is though I'd be happy to help on this project if its already underway or spear head it if not.

Ideas on this anyone?

Ehm.... How are you sure it's your ISP and not the other peers upload speed that is the limiting factor?

However the idea isn't good that many ISP have different packages depending on cost and/or connection capabilities (including local conditions), and that it would take waaaaay too much resources from actual development to set this up and maintain.
Speed test I could agree with but more than that is frankly unnecessary imho.

I use vuze and they've set up a wiki of isp's and mines labelled at Level 5 (the nastiest) so i set my vuze settings to the most secure and achieve speeds in a whole new order of magnitude. I can turn those speeds on and off like a light switch just by toggling a couple settings

Transmission already has the option of forcing all peer communication to be encrypted. Are there privacy related settings vuze has that transmission does not?
