Sure. Ono is a plugin for the Vuze/Azureus Bittorrent client[1]. It attempts to find peers closest to you. The reason why increased Bittorrent traffic is that the Bittorrent protocol doesn't require any specific selection of peers. This means that you can have excessive traffic from other areas, which plays havoc with Tier 1 ISP peer agreements. If the protocol isn't modified to work in conjunction with peering, I would expect ISPs to simply kill Bittorrent traffic.
