Re: ***Found a way past The Throttle!*** NO JOKE!
Strange. Deluge works for me but utorrent doesn't.
Thanks for the tip. |

| From what I've read and noticed so far, forced security in uTorrent only works if the seeds/peers you're downloading from ALSO have that enabled.

BTW, you have been the voice of reason throughout this whole fiasco and I for one want to thank you for the professionalism you've exhibited here and the obvious care for your customers. Perhaps in time and if circumstances ever change, you'll become a *great* TekSavvy rep! |

Update on my earlier posts. As of the last few days (not sure when since I hadn't been downloading anything since earlier this week), the port 995 workaround quit working for me. In fact it became 30KB/s down, 0.2KB/s up (yes 0.2KB/s !!!). Switching back to port 53001 restored it to 30KB down/30KB up. However, then I tried port 21 - instantly back to normal (at least for down) over 400KB/s down, 30KB/s up.
Bell is apparently adapting their throttling to our changes. I'm still using uTorrent 1.7.7 for the moment, forced encryption, no legacy connections allowed.

how do you guys enable the 995 privileged port to be shared by another program like P2p? everytime on my linux station i try to bind to a privileged port it will incite the socket 10013 error. I don't even have firewall. i think it is basic issue about ports already designated for IANA usage. |

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. Someone at Bell is watching Star Trek! |

yes i could answer my own question. just run p2p as a root process, except that it is ultra vulnerable to attack |

said by Deadpool :From what I've read and noticed so far, forced security in uTorrent only works if the seeds/peers you're downloading from ALSO have that enabled. it would make sense that anyone on the tracker who also has encryption enabled would give a nicely unthrottled connection and any connection you have to those with encryption off would be throttled.
hence, i use encryption enabled and allow incoming legacy so i get to use my full 30k of throttled bandwidth and the remainder is left for those whom i'm connected to who also have encrpytion on.
when i last checked my torrent machine (out of town for the weekend) i was uploading just fine at max speed ~75kb/s or so with port 995 open, encryption enabled and legacy incoming checked. using the latest utorrent beta version. |

On Linux, port less than 1024 are reserved for the root user.
If you have a router, keep your high-number port configured on your BT client. Then, configure your router to forward your port 995 to this port on your local machine. The router will then forward transparency your port 995 to your high-number port without the need of root privileges (I would not run p2p softwares with root privileges like someone suggested here...) |

I found this kinda funny.
Using port 995 encryption forced I had about 80 peers downloading at no more than 4.6kb/s.
They all totalled up to about 400Kb/s. LMAO. I wonder what bells up to. |

I wonder what bells up to. have you not seen that before? it's quite common behaviour. i believe it's tracker implemented. i think that trackers do that so everyone shares equally no matter whether one has a faster connection than another.
anyway, it's perfectly normal behaviour and i've seen it 1000 times long before bell knew what throttling was... |

I used to use no encryption and allow legacy connections. |

I noticed last night that while I was limited to 30k/s on a single torrent, after I loaded about 20 different torrents on a private tracker the total speed slowly crawled up to about 200k/s (took about an hour to get there; this was at ~9-10 PM). No individual connection to a peer was faster than 5k/s. |
