Nicklt Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi, i'm using the same settings i have done for a long time, and i used to get 100/120KBYTESPS now though i'm not getting any higher than about 6-7KBYTEPS. I don't understand why. I have trie the openoffice and some of the 22C3 torrents and even those are going slow, i don't have a clue whats wrong. Any ideas?

µtorrent-Guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 so if your CTRL+G settings are as they should be and you are getting slow speeds on these torretns; Congratulations your ISP throttles BT traffic. Get rid of your ISP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 They might've started now. They can start at any moment. Turn on Protocol Encryption and restart the client.Also, uninstall your firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklt Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I don't use a firewall, i hope they haven't started to throttle, that would be a bitchDamn it, i think they have throttled me. Looks like torrents are over for me for a while then. Not my ISP to change you see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Nicklt said: "Damn them, maybe ill move onto newsgroups now."If I remember correctly, it was Rogers ISP in Canada that started their own VoIP service and 'depriortized' ALL other forms of VoIP. This means they throttled competitor's VoIP services to the point where quality seriously suffered..."encouraging" customers to use theirs instead. Ironically, it meant for a while there that people on Rogers could run µTorrent on port 1720 (the port Rogers "dedicated" to their VoIP) without getting throttled so severely.ComCast ISP in USA reduced free newsgroups support. Many ISPs don't even offer newsgroups support -- you have to pay extra a month to some 3rd party company to get it.Lots of ISPs worldwide have monthly bandwidth limits that are a tiny fraction of what the connections are capable of.What I'm getting at is ISPs that throttle p2p file-sharing are also quite likely to throttle anything that costs them alot of bandwidth. And many of them will call you a "bandwidth hog" if you complain about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklt Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yeah, my ISP has a "Fair Usage Policy" as they put it. This mean that even though my broadband is "Unlimited" if they see me downloading 50-100G+ then they throttle me, i ask them "Why you throttled me?" they say "Fair usage policy mate, not fair on other tiscali users that you have downloaded 100G and they only downloaded 5G!" - Is that my fault that they only download 5G. "Unlimited" is certainly not unlimited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 "Tiscali" is known to be a no-go company for users that want Internet and not just shoppingchannel www.I would get rid of THAT provider if i were you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklt Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I have left torrents off for a day now, turned utorrent back on and im back up to 120kbps again. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
