caymanredman Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I have been using utorrent for about 2 years now. For the last 6 days its being acting very strange and i have some ideas but was wondering what others thought too.First off i got red arrows on all my downloads and seeds for my uploads, cannot connect to any peers and no downloads during the day. Connection closed by peer at Piratebay , i got the yellow triangle then it turned red and could not forward to my port. I had not changed any settings.It seems that at 11.30 pm every night my downloads start , i get good speeds most of the time but they are a little erratic. They are usually complete by the time i get up in the morning. Also the torrents i had tried to start earlier in the day are still red arrows but the onces i start after 11.30 directly from piratebay are blue.Getting the green signal and the yellow, both saying port is not forwarded but i do have everything in order.Done virus checks too, no firewall on. Double checked my port is forwarded.I live in the Cayman Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 can you test a torrent from OO plz ?http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/Choose a random OS/Lang etc, it's only for the test. Update tracker announces if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caymanredman Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 OK i tried the Openoffice and it too would not start until 11.30pm. I learnt today too that when Limewire was all the rage a few years ago alot of people could not download during the day , just in the evening. Looks like they doing the same now with torrents, is there away around this ?? Could they (ISP) also affect the way utorrent is not port forwarding too ?

moogly Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yes your ISP can filter internet traffic and block all packets but not these ones for websurfing or email.And after an hour it can "cancel" the throttling with full speed.
