The interesting bit is how they identify the connections to kill, particularly if encryption is in use. I reckon they could probably do most of the stuff they're advertising (most of the time) by monitoring the unencrypted communication with the tracker. Of course, this could result in them missing connections - particularly encrypted ones - or killing ones they shouldn't (for example, if it's set to prevent seeding and there are peers in common between a torrent a user is seeding to and one they're leeching from). Then again, they could be doing some sort of traffic analysis. (Of course, that'd probably have even more problems.) I think I saw an interesting comment on /. somewhere about that.
