OzzyGuy Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hi there Just wondering if anyone here is in Australia and uses Tangerine Telecom for their broadband? I am only getting download speeds of a few kbs with any torrents I try. I have set up all the port forwarding in my router and am not seeing any changes to speeds. Normal web downloads and speed tests show good speeds for my connection. On a side note, my torrents downloaded at high speeds with a previous provider.

PiusX Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 That to means look like ISP throttle where they detect torrent usage and throttle your internet. So does your internet speeds speed up when your not using utorrent? If it does then that means that your ISP is detecting torrent usage and throttle the internet because of that. And it can be a change in provider they now have torrent Throttle when detected. Maybe your provider switch ISP and now the current ISP is throttling to stop torrent usage.

meathook Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 You can try using a VPN connection to see if the speed goes up and to confirm the low speed is because of ISP throttling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Others have already said NO to using VPN. I recommend find a good proxy and use that as your utorrent connection. @meathook, they already confirmed it was ISP Throttle that when no utorrent was used internet was fine so this is ISP throttle using hardare and software to block utorrent traffic.
