Indeed. A typical HTTPS session transaction is, what, 200 KB? 
Transferring multiple GB of data in both directions might look

Thinking about it, all an ISP *really* needs to do is block any network 
transaction involving "large" amounts of data. That'll block any 
concievably file-sharing technology, not just BitTorrent.
