Netflix to block proxy access to content not available locally

There are so many dead simple technical solutions to this I can't fathom someone on HN not being able to find any of them.

1. QOS on the router, set a lower priority for the ports torrents use 2. Set a bandwidth limit in your torrent client 3. Use a queue / batch system to have them download at 3AM or whatever.

I have no access to the router. Of course I know how to throttle bandwidth or schedule it later. My point is that it's far less convenient than just streaming instantly from Netflix.

not sure why i got downvoted on this. instead of being a helpful post, the parent posted a deriding no true scotsman fallacy.
