rout345 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi, I was wondering if there was another torrent out there, like the OpenOffice torrent, that's well seeded and good for testing your settings, that isn't legal. I think ISPs can detect that the OpenOffice torrent is OK for sharing, and therefore don't throttle, resulting in high speeds for just that torrent. I was wondering if there were other torrents that are good for testing connection speeds/settings/etc. and which are better for testing whether or not you're being throttled than OpenOffice.

krazy Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Throttling based on the contents of the torrent is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Throttling based on content may not be, but throttling based on tracker is possible.Anyway, try Ubuntu Dapper Beta 2. They're surely not going to make some exception just for a beta release of a software, no matter how free it is (not that I'd expect them to make an exception for OpenOffice.org either... since there are HTTP mirrors available anyway, they'd probably say "screw you, download using HTTP").

µtorrent-Guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 and the "typical throttleing ISP" definitly will not make throttle exceptions for some german hackers. so maybe you want to try them as "testtorrents"http://bittorrent.ccc.de:2342/Grab something starting with 22C3 these torretns have high speed backbone peers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
