Phascogale Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm downloading a torrent and it's going very slowly ie between 1.5kB/s and 5 kB/s. I notice that when I click on the peers tab that I have a lot of peer connections where the percentage is 0.5% and doesn't change but they are downloading (at faster speeds than I can manage) a fair bit from me. The IP addresses are all very similar ie 72.172.xx.xxx and to narrow down further the IP addresses then go 72.172.89.xxx (about 5 of those), then 72.172.90 (again another 5) and 72.172.91.xxx and so on.Can someone explain what's happening and whether there is anything I can do about it?

jewelisheaven Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 You are most likely on an interdicted torrent. Interdiction is the term used by those companies who are paid to interfere with others' downloading of content. You should invest your time in learning about ipfilter and applying it http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_is_ipfilter.dat.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
