golfgl Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I finally figured out how to get the green light on through my linux server, and thought that things would improve but it has not. I live in the toronto area and was wondering if anyone knew which ports they are still maybe controling. I use rogers, and heard that 1720 or 1755 was good, but now Im guessing they are controlling them, does anyone know which ports might still be good. And back to my orginal question, ever since I got the light to turn green, it got slower my speeds, not sure why!!..TIAClaudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Rogers is t3h suxx0rz. AFAIK, they throttle unrecognized traffic HARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkistrap Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 This isn't in reply to the first poster, but I also have a green light with downloading that's slow as molasses. My router is Westell 327W. My DSL is always slower than it should be because I live too far out into the country. I have Linksys NC100 fast ethernet, but that isn't troublesome like the other sorts of linksys listed in the other thread, correct? Downloads start out beautifully but then the speed plummets once the second half of the file is downloading.I hardly understand anything, though I have pored over the FAQ's. I have the torrent for the second season of Twin Peaks, but I wanted to start out downloading just one episode. I find when I start downloading another file in the torrent simultaneously the downloading speed skyrockets to 40-90 kb/sec, whereas when I was downloading just one episode it was 0-1 kb/sec. Then I stop the second download and the speed is fine for a minute or two more. Is there a rhyme or reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfgl Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Rogers is t3h suxx0rz. AFAIK, they throttle unrecognized traffic HARD.Now I closed the ports and went back to my old way, which was either yellow or red lights, and Im getting way better speeds then I did when I got the green lights, strange!I know Rogers is bad like that, but I was just wondering if anyone here uses rogers and knows of a port that is not being watch or what ports do you guys use!

Ultima Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Nope, like I said, they seem to be throttling not based on ports, but on whether the data being transferred is recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even with encryption enabled its up to how many other ppl out there have that enabled as well. Or can rogers tell between the encrypted as well now.TIAClaudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah a lot of people found that Protocol Encryption stopped working, and there wasn't any way around it. There's no way they can identify the traffic itself, so they probably throttle based on pattern, or more likely, the fact that they just don't know what it is (since it's easier).

Switeck Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 The fact that Protocol Encryption still uses the same port as all your incoming BT traffic means all Rogers' packet sniffer programs have to do is find some client mistakenly sending your BT traffic in the clear then throttle your port+connection for hour/s. DHT probably wouldn't help, as I'm not sure it's using encryption by default or even at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
