I feel that the ISP I'm using right now, pesatnet /id is throttling bittorrent traffic. Since last 2 months I feel uncomfortable to run torrent on this ISP. Things that happened : - They (maybe) limit the speed to each peer. The connection to each peer never more than 1 kBps. This makes the overall speed become very low. I'm sure that it happened not because of improper setting of my torrent. I'm using the same setting since 4 months ago and it worked well before. - A strange phenomenon : The connection to my ISP is automatically terminated when I run a torrent! I have to restart the receiver manually to reconnect again. This makes me impossible to start a torrent and just leave it to be finished. After few times (sometimes directly, sometimes after few seconds / minutes) the connection is surely terminated. I don't know what have they done, but I feel that they must be doing 'something' to torrent traffic. I'm not sure if it is throttling or not (because I don't know how to proof). I just want to share my experience and maybe become consideration before choosing this ISP. What do you think?

An ISP in Indonesia named Alucionet is throttling torrent. They limit the speed very low. This is the quote of an email I received from them : Right now, we limit the P2P traffic : 07.00 am - 05.00 pm : up to 50 kbps max 05.00 pm - 10.00 pm : up to 100 kbps max 10.00 pm - 12.00 pm : up to 150 kbps max 12.00 pm - 07.00 am : up to 280 kbps max I'm using their 384 kbps product, and I'll change my ISP ASAP. For you who stay in Indonesia, don't ever try this ISP. You'll just given disappointment by them. Encryption doesn't work.
