Most vulnerable are users in a relatively small swarm where you only have a couple of peers you can upload the file to. Only seeding seems to be prevented, most users are able to upload to others while the download is still going, but once the download is finished, the upload speed drops to 0. Some users also report a significant drop in their download speeds, but this seems to be less widespread.

My boss wanted me to scan a printed picture of the google logo, I did so before he got back, three settings to try to make decent image of it were crap. I googled: 'google logo hires'(***not images, web links) and some pretty darn snazzy (inc. orig) pics came from google, and excellent 'art' on fourth or so link stating grieviance (mildish) with google on issue of not doing a themed logo for memorial day. Here you are, have the link, fourth from the top on 'google logo hires' : http://zombietime.com/google_memorial_day_logo/ , so, sorry, I don't think google are censoring the links *on purpose* themselves.

Your grief is clearly with the the dirty rat-m*****ls who can't allow their competitor (or perhaps shame) to be revealed by simplistic means.
