Insanity_sc Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 For the first time in years, i can no longer seed/upload files. I upload fine at 2 MB/s while i'm downloading a file. But when i finish the download, all connections to peers are dropped. Once every hour or so i will briefly connect to a peer and slowly upload for a few seconds before disconnecting again. This has never happened prior to yesterday. This problem ALSO occurs with other torrent clients. I am on a university network, but that hasn't made a difference beforehand.All ports are fine. Using same settings as i always have been. Tried using the 1.8 Beta, but it didn't help.Any ideas? I really need to be able to seed files, especially with this 70 kpbs down, 10 up connection.

jewelisheaven Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 ISP mangling :/ Have you tried limited presence mode (How-To link below post #2)... and making sure only encrypted peer connections are made (Ctrl-P -> BitTorrent -> FORCED encryption and dis-allow legacy connection)?

Insanity_sc Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I tried forcing encryption earlier and again just now. no luckI am not sure what you mean by limited presence mode. I read that how-to but can't find any specifics on it. perhaps a different term is used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Your university must've installed new throttling software to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanity_sc Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Figures. I'll have to check around campus and see if other people are experiencing the same thing.Thanks for the help though.Edit- Been messing around with multiple trackers. It appears some files from one tracker work fine. however, a number of files on other trackers (some public, some private) do not work. Would throttling be able to only affect certain trackers rather than a blanket block on all P2P? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 It's easily possible that their filtering software isn't catching *everything*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
