    What the provider means by saying NO to Torrents?

    I see a lot of providers saying NO to torrents in general and specifically to piracy stuff. Do they mean that the customer should not be running a torrent client hosted on the VPS? What if the client uses the VPS as a proxy or run a VPN and use the torrent client on his computer?
