minesweeper Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 why doesn't utorrent randomize the ports automatically on a preset time interval?the ISPs have software that throttle the band on the ports with high activity - so why utorrent does not come with the counter-solution - randomize automatically? there could be some problems for leeching (the option should be unchecked at this time), but I see no problem when seeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Then you don't see the annoyance in having to deal with waiting over an hour for new connections to be established on port change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFly55 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 i also support minesweeper's requestallot of us are getting throttled based on ports, our only options are to manually1. stop torrent2. change port3. start torrentmy ISP throttles the port within the hour, and i wake up the next morning with 6 hours of throttled downloadbased on what study have you come up with the elaborate assumption that it takes hours to establish new connections? my connections reestablish within a minute of manually changing ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adgrimes Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 My old ISP used to do the same... I just used to limit my download speed to 256KB/s down, and that used to solve it...Granted it takes longer to get things down, but if you prioritise things for downloading, doesnt take that long to do...Failing that, another ISP who doesnt throttle? My new one doesnt (Im in the UK)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktan Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I like the idea that utorrent can randomize the ports automatically on a preset time interval.A range of ports can be selected.My ISP throttle down my download speed after 30 minutes.This features will be great.

kkyrik Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm a little confused by the answer that says (paraphrased):Randomize the port on each start but don't set it as the default.Does that mean I should:Manually click on the 'random port' button at each start? And that I should not check the (default?) 'randomize port each start' box?My random port right now is 11990, altho I don't know if it's that way at each start.My download speeds have gone from lightning fast to sluggish beyond belief butI think that has to do with my recent decision to go with a proxy service rather than throttling.That said, any thoughts on Google's http://www.measurementlab.net/ tool thatallegedly shows whether or not your ISP is throttling or blocking p2p traffic?Thx,K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
