Sure is, but it's not like I'm sitting around and waiting for movies to DL. I run all my torrents off my NAS, not my laptop. RSS feeds automatically grab what I want (series that aren't televised in Canada for example).
You don't need a fancy proxy to get US Netflix, like I posted on page 1 a simple DNS change is all thats needed. You can find the DNS server IP's on Youtube... 5 mins and you're done.
