Alliance takes the best from BitTorrent, Direct Connect and Waste and creates a decentralized and secure p2p network. It is a private and secure environment to share files and communicate with people you know. Alliance works on Windows, Linux and Mac.
Similar to uTP, an option to have AllianceP2P automatically mitigate
congestion might be a great idea to look into. If implemented this should
be optional and on by default. Users should have the ability to turn it off
and set a max download/upload rate if they want.
Since AllianceP2P's protocol has similar aspects as Bittorrent, it wouldn't
be far fetched to think that if a person had a large enough network, it
might have similar negative effects as Bittorrent.

info on uTP http://blog.bittorrent.com/2010/02/03/%C2%B5torrent-v2-0-stable-release/ http://blog.bittorrent.com/2009/11/13/testing-%C2%B5tp-is-%C2%B5tp-actually-faster-than-regular-bittorrent/
uTP is now open source http://blog.bittorrent.com/2010/05/21/%C2%B5tp-open-source-implementation/ so it might be easier to see how they're doing it and then implement our own version of it.
