321abc Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hello everyone,The first time i d/l using Utorrent using the wireless internet at Uni it was d/l really fast (max was 1mb/s)...however after d/l like 8gb worth of stuff it is becoming really SLOOOWWW now (2kb/s).(however opening websites and d/l from websites 'directly' is still very fast...it's just when using Utorrent that d/l is slow)All my settings are "default" just left it as it was when i first intalled Utorrent. Could it be my 'current port' connection or somehow school block ppl from sharing somehow??? Can anyone give me some advice on overcoming this? (in non-technical computer language)Thanks.

Switeck Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Your Uni could have throttled BitTorrent because it exceeded whatever allowable limits they set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
321abc Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 hmmm..."throttled" does that mean 'block'?anyway if they did throttle BitTorrent does that still permit me to d/l fast from websites...b/c i still can d/l fast if it is directly from web-site...So how would i overcome this? are there any programs that can somehow hide/over ride this?Also would uninstalling Utorrent and using another Torrent program to d/l work b/c it's like a new program right?

Switeck Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 They can see dang near everything you're doing and block on a packet-by-packet basis.The BitTorrent program doesn't matter because it's still all BitTorrent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Try using a proxy server for BitTorrent tracker updates.Turn on encryption.Disable DHT, LPD, Resolve IPs.Reduce settings maybe as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
