The potential for abuse is only marginally higher. It really should make bittorrent better all-around. The only way that wouldn't work is if ALL the high speed connections disconnect instantly afterwards. After that inital rush, the low speed connections should have full-speed access, and more peers with full copies to chose from. The only senario in which the low-speed clients lose out, is at the very beginning, when only one peer has a full copy, and the high-speeds are actively sharing among each other and competing for access. It will take less time to have more full copies of a torrent shared, on higher speed hosts, with lots of bandwidth to spare. It's giving less of an advantage to those with slow upload speeds (leeches), and high download speeds, but those with low speeds stand to benefit nearly as much as those with high-speed connections. That's far too simple a way to look at it. It seems like this is just a scheme to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
