I really, really, really hope that by "PC" they meant "connection". Because the reason current patcher underperforms is flooding the upload of asymmetrical connections (ADSL), thus making sending ACK packets for the download slow to impossible. It's certainly not the fault of my CPU/GPU.

IMHO, they should make a patcher which uses HTTP as it's primary source and use P2P as an additional source, giving you an option to continue seeding (otherwise you might as well kill the P2P part). For example, people living in dormitories can't use torrent because it's blocked by the university. Then there are ISPs that are explicitly looking for P2P packets and slowing them down to 1kb/s (so called traffic shaping).
