Serag Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hello All,You can consider me a totally new guy on the P2P world, yet I found it's an amazing way of sharing.Also Thanks ALOT for uTorrent.. a hassle free easy to install and extremely easy to use Client..My thoughts are the following..I'm planning to use a new ISP because it offers less price but with a p2p throttle feature after a specific amount of downloaded Gb's .And as I found that torrent is a awesome way of sharing..I surely will miss it.So I found out about PE and how to enable/force it on uTorrent thanks to the handy help.The question is: Will enabling/forcing PE would affect the speed of download/upload at any mean?If yes..whats makes that happens?..One of the peers using a non-supported client in PE or what?Thanks Alot In Advance..Cheers!

thelittlefire Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Protocol Encryption is a method to disrupt basic methods for traffic shaping/throttling your connection. Have you searched the ISPs in your area on here or on a p2p forum like dslreports.com to see which are least-filesharing hostile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serag Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well..I planned using that ISP just for low prices it offer for bandwidth...Current one I use doesn't but its extremely pricey..at least for me..Last but least..I'm from Egypt..so I think it would be hard to find that ISP on dslreports.comAnyways it clear in the Ad The ISP made and users Report p2p connections to be throttled after a certain amount of bandwidth used.Oh and I do not have much options about choosing which ISP to use...1- Pricey ISP that has unlimited downloading/uploading bandwidth.2- Quite pocket friendly one that throttle p2p but not http.

Switeck Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 If you only allow encrypted connections, then yes your download+upload speeds WILL probably be decreased if you didn't need encryption to get around your ISP's throttling/disruptions.

Serag Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 But do I have to enable PE on all connections??Is there some way else to get around the throttle ?Please help.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 You will likely need to try 'extreme' hiding tricks to get better speeds: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.)

Hyosung Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just to bounce off your reply..."If you only allow encrypted connections, then yes your download+upload speeds WILL probably be decreased if you didn't need encryption to get around your ISP's throttling/disruptions."^So if my ISP isn't on the list it is preferred that i have it disabled? (Currently I have Allow + Enabled)As I use ChampionBroadband and I don't think they throttle {If this should be a sep. thread, sorry} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 You're probably slightly better off to have outgoing encryption set to Enabled.Even though your ISP doesn't throttle...too many others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
