Switeck Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Punctuation helps us make sense of what you're trying to say. When you say you have "good broadband speed at 6.6" ...what unit of measurement is that for? (KiloBYTES/sec, Megabits/sec, MegaBYTES/sec?)Your broadband's download and upload bandwidth maximums are probably NOT the same, and you need to know your upload bandwidth max to properly configure µTorrent using Speed Guide (CTRL+G).There are various FAQs and Guides you probably should read to help you get started.They can be found here:http://www.utorrent.com/guides.phpand here:http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Your ISP blocks BT severely. You need to get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 It's like it sounds -- they block BitTorrent traffic, and there probably isn't much you can do about it besides switching. How they do it? They just do; they are the ones providing you with the service, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Possibly. Your ISP has been causing grief for plenty of people as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Try an encrypted proxy server and downloading through it.Any free one you try may require you setting µTorrent VERY low, such as xx/64k settings in Speed Guide (CTRL+G)...or even lower on settings besides speed!
