Hey, I got a new connection around a month a go, and everything’s fine with it, apart from the fact that when I try and download torrents they download at around 0.1kb/s :s on steam and everyother program I get around 3 mbps downloads so does anyone know a solution?

Thanks :)

Apparently your internet provider doesnt like torrents.

It’s BT, and most of my friends that are with them can download torrent no problems. :s

FNR!

You running Vuze? That usually limits your downloadspeed by default, you can change it in the settings.

Yeah I ran it on Vuze, changed the download speed cap to unlimited, no difference, same result on utorrent and final torrent.

Probably upstream packet shaping. Turn on symmetric RC5, use SSL enabled announces, etc. If they’re shaping all non-HTTP traffic, though, you’re fucked regardless.

EDIT: http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Bad_ISPs#United_Kingdom — BT is listed as an ISP which “throttles non-HTTP traffic” — ie you’re fucked, but you may still get some better results from encrypting the traffic..

utorrent works a bit better, only getting like 60 kb/s though :(

rAye.

Vuze.

sometimes with certain isp’s i found downloading torrents over night just a better idea. When i was back with tiscali torrents would only download fast over night, i have no idea why

Seeders/Leechers?

I liked the part where they ignored the only person here who knows what they’re talking about

encryption prolly wont help anymore, had this problem two years ago aswell, p2p limited and even forcing encryption and using https has same effect… only way u can dload fast is get seedbox or vps and then dload straight from vps through http or ftp

actually scratch that, i had BT, just find decent seeded torrent and ull be fine + dont download too much in 24hrs… i remembered i had max 2kB/s on p2p connections and >600kB/s on utp

I’m on BT, and torrents are always throttled from something like 6PM-midnight to a maximum of 10kb/s upload or download. After then they’re unlimited and work fine.

I’d try making sure all of your ports are open, and if you can ditch the horrible piece of shit excuse for a router known as the home hub.

it would appear you haven’t grasped the concept of what ‘throttles all non-HTTP traffic’ means

Apparently, my ISP doesnt like me using SSL for torrents.. It get’s maxed @ 50 Mbit, while non ssl torrent hit 120 Mbit.
