That's the problem I have,my ISP lets me download 5 Gigs a month and then they crank my speed back.After that I can download all I want,but at 25kbs or so.They are getting a letter because of copyright issues,I hesitated to mention that before,downloading mainstream movies.They,like me,are using utorrent and I thought there was a way to mask it somehow but I am not familiar with it so any info would be fabulous.

This is slightly different mate, you sound like you have a capped service with your ISP, (which means you are allowed to download only 5 gigs and after that you are stuffed), many of them are like this now, unlimited downloading is really a thing of the past unless you are prepared to fork out a little more for it.
Are they trying to throttle your speed when you are still within your 5 gig limit?

Does µTorrent support Protocol Encryption (PE)?

Yes, as of version 1.4.1 beta build 407. It is compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and BitComet 0.63.
Protocol Encryption is a joint specification between Azureus and µTorrent. It is designed to bypass throttling and/or blocking of BitTorrent traffic by an ISP.
You can choose Protocol Encryption's mode of operation in BitTorrent. Here is an explanation of the various options you can choose:

• Disabled: Does not encrypt outgoing connections, but will accept encrypted incoming connections.
• Enabled: Attempts to encrypt outgoing connections, but will fall back to an unencrypted mode if the connection fails.
• Force: Attempts to encrypt outgoing connections, and will NOT fall back to an unencrypted mode if the connection fails.
• Allow legacy incoming connections enables or disables incoming legacy (non-encrypted) connections.

All modes will accept incoming encrypted connections (and the encryption is 2-way)!
It is NOT recommended to turn off "Allow legacy incoming connections", unless you cannot have any non-encrypted connections (typically in conjunction with Forced), in which case turning off "Allow legacy incoming connections" is acceptable.
