redirect agent

Does anyone know what is a redirect agent? what does content caching
do to my torrent? Are they (the service providers) tricking my 
torrent program to download from and upload to their machines?
or the machines they designated? Why?

How does this work? Does the bit torrent protocol allow this to 
happen?

Thanks,

Henry
