maxer64 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hey.. I'm not new to torrents but I am new to utorrent. Anyways, my apartment building forces us to use the internet service they provide, and it has some sort of block on it that whenever I use any sharing program like Limewire, Vuze, or utorrent, it sees that and turns off my internet for a day as punishment. I'm not sure if it detects sharing or certain IPs, but I'm pretty sure it is the IP because I don't share with Limewire and it still detects its use.I'm afraid that one time they'll decide that I'm a habitual sharing heathen and not turn my internet back on. Does anyone have a good way for me to get around this with the general description I've given you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Maybe use more conservative settings for the bandwidth, and maybe disable DHT, PEX, LPD, NAT, UPnP & IP resolving, force encryption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 You will likely need to try 'extreme' hiding tricks:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=361747#p361747(Note: My post immediately following that one explains what settings in uTorrent are similar to the Azureus ones.)...OR a VPN.You could always try the wireless route. Not like your apartment can object to you using a wireless connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxer64 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Haha yeah I'm using wireless now, and it still tracks me down. I'll try your tips though and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I meant a wireless ISP NOT managed by your apartment building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
