how to deal with an ISP throttling?

hey guys.

SO i discovered the other day that mu isp REALLY doesnt like torrents. when im running a torrent, they drop my download speed to about 4 kb/s. when i turn 'em off, it jumps back up to 400. any ideas to keep torrenting without killing my family's internet connection?
