dotNorma Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I will start off by saying that my ISP throttles my torrents to an almost dead stop on all public trackers.However, I have found that on a private tracker (torrent-damage.net), I can reach speeds of up to 200kb/s down. Unfortunantly, I am still unable to upload to my maximum and I cant go above 20kb/s even though I am on a 1MB/s down and 256kB/s up connection. My limits are set correctly and I have peer.lazy_bitfeild set to *true as well as cFosSpeed running (Which helps greatly with torrents hogging all my bandwidth, btw).Does anybody have any suggestions to get my upload any higher so I can share with the rest of the community?

Martin Levac Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Try using a port in the high range like 50000 up to 65535.ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotNorma Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 That makes no difference in speed for me. (I am currently using port 1720) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Who's your ISP?Have you tried doing GOOGLE searches to see if anyone else has the same problem...and possibly a workaround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotNorma Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 My ISP is COX Communications and I have looked it up and others suffer the same problem, but no solution has been located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I found this out about COX from their website at:http://www.cox.com/policy/limitations.aspMaximum monthly consumption cap = 40 gigabytes downstream; 10 gigabytes upstreamIs there any chance you've exceeded your maximum monthly consumption cap?

dotNorma Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 No, I havent reached my caps and thats pretty much because I cant with this throttling.It has been suggested that I set up a proxy, but that would require somebody to lend me the bandwidth to do so and I doubt anybody really wants to do that.Any suggestions? It seems COX Internet uses a hardware packet sniffer that slams down on bittorrent protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 You read that somewhere that they're using a hardware filter, or just seem that way?I read a tech convention that had a COX representative talk about the "dangers" of BitTorrent traffic to ISPs, so I deem it very likely you're right...but it's nice to get better proof than indirect, so you can rub their noses in it.

dotNorma Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I read it during my research. (it was a reply to an email sent to a COX representative)Anyhow, I would like to atleast return what I have downloaded but when I can download at 200kb/s but only upload at 14kb/s its a bit tricky.
