Speaking to your example with Blizzard:
It was not my example, I do not play Blizzard games.
The Blizzard downloader does provide an option to disable P2P transfers which then downloads direct via http from Blizzard.
This is nice. Many other games using Pando and other such P2P downloaders do not.
Yes, the update software defaults to allow P2P but it isn't like they are forcing it upon their users. I have seen Sony do the same thing and have never seen a downloader that you couldn't disable that option if you like.
I am 100% sure "Pando Media Booster" do not give you the option of disabling it. Unless they hide it very, very deep.
