| Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a
config 1 | 
config 2 | 
config 3 | 
results after 25mins during throttling hours |
So, walkthrough.
You'll need the uTorrent 1.9 alpha, this is a link to the March 24th build: »download.utorrent.com/beta/utorr···.upx.exe
Once you've gotten that, you'll need to do the following.
Set the bittorrent configuration options as you see here in these screenshots.
In the advanced settings, you'll need to force bt.transp_disposition to 10, in order to force uTorrent only to use the uTP UDP protocol.
Note that the specific port setting is important in my experience.
If MLPPP isn't an option for you, this should get you unthrottled reasonably well. Results in the last screenie at 12am during throttling hours, after about 25mins of solid downloading. | |

1 edit | Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a Depends on your location and has nothing to do with new UT.. You either are, or are not. Personally, I am not 99% of the time. But when they kick it in, no ports in the world will get around it.
BTW.. if you ever figure out a way that is not already well known, keep it to yourself.. don't advertise it.  | |

2 edits | Why are you setting bt.transp_disposition to 10?
Have you done testing to actually prove that this particular setting is making your torrents unthrottled, since it could just be a concidence, or maybe it just seems to be faster to you?
Also would that setting of '10' not potentially eliminate peers from sharing with you (thus slowing you down) if you're only doing uTP in/out? Since not everyone is using it yet?
BTW, here's a quick FYI from the utorrent forums for anyone wondering what the transport disposition field controls and how:
For ut 1.8.3 & 1.9 bt.transp_disposition is a bitfield, so the following numbers can be ADDED or used on their own to get the desired effect:
4 - incoming TCP
8 - incoming uTP
1 - outgoing TCP
2 - outgoing uTP
Specific combinations:
5 - TCP incoming + outgoing only (uTP disabled)
10 - uTP only
13 - TCP incoming + outgoing with uTP outgoing only (*1.8.3 default)
15 - both TCP and uTP, incoming + outgoing (*1.9 default)
13's the recommended setting for 1.8.3 and 15 for 1.9
Oh yeah also, does it make a difference to set your port to 1723? In my tests it makes no noticable impact here. | |

2 edits | Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a Avoiding TCP altogether messes with the DPI boxes. That should have been pretty obvious.
I should mention that DPI was definitely active in my area during the above run, because I'd accidentally gotten myself throttled with non-throttled-hours settings (TCP enabled, no encryption...) a few minutes earlier, and had to reset my modem to clear it.
Using these settings I remained unthrottled the rest of the night. | |

This works for me. YMMV. | |

I had the Beat 1.9 setup as listed above to only use UTP ports. I didn't evade the throttle for me and my download list was maxing at 30-40kbps off throttle time. When I removed the *10 setting my downloads shot up to 100-200kbps. They are for old TV shows and low number of seeds so I need all I can get. | |

| Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a During non-throttled hours there's no reason to have to stick to uTP-only, as mentioned I was switching back to TCP/uTP myself. 
Of course, new ISP, no longer any need of this, but I'm glad it's helping some. | |

1 edit | Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a Just tried it here, after watching a transfer that wouldn't get above 28K for about 20 minutes. Downloaded, installed, started 1.9a, same speed...changed the config, hit apply...and the same torrent is now running 150K and climbing.
Edit Oh...just noticed, after the restart changing from 1.8.3 to 1.9a, a second torrent that I had paused earlier in the session restarted...so I've gone from one download at no more then 28K to 2 running simultaneously at 150k and 90K | |

@accelio.com | I tried these settings and for the morning my dl's were just sailing along. 4:30pm hit and it was back to crappy usual at 55kb/s. Didn't work for me. If anyone else had some luck with this let us know please! | |

| I've done everything that dbsanfte wrote in his screenshot steps and yes, it does work. I'm now getting 400+ kB/s. I followed everything from getting the new uTorrent 1.9 alpha, changing all the numbers around, and setting any true/false as need be. Works like a charm so a big thanks to you. | |

Hamilton, ON | Did everything in the steps, made my speeds a whole lot worse (at normally un-throttled time). Before applying I was getting upwards of 80kbp/s DL, after applying it seemed to be stuck under 10kbp/s.
I'll just deal with the throttle. | |

It Does Work
@teksavvy.com | Bingo, it does work! Downloading ubuntu right now, prime time, at an average of 375 kB/s.
Excellent. | |

| Its not perfect but it can sure help.
Also be sure to get the latest versions of utorrent 1.9 which can be found in the announcement section of the utorrent forum.
You can still be affected but it makes it much harder for them to do so.. | |

| Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a Please bear with me - I am not as experienced as the rest of you, but I am trying to get this to work.
The only version I have been able to get is 1.9 Beta (Build 14981). Is this the correct one to work with?
If so, my info screens in the setup are not exactly as indicated (I have some extra entries). And so far I have had zero success - throttles at 42.6kB/s | |

Far Far Away | Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a Currently, build 14981 is the most recent and it should work.
I had stuck with 1.6.1 until reading this thread, and thank the original poster for it. The addition of a new way to transport data (uTP) made it interesting to try out. | |

| No, this didn't work for me on a consistent basis. I use utorrent 1.9beta. Over the weekend it seemed to work but during throttling hours in the week the speed dropped to 20-26 kBps.

2 edits | Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a Yep same here, did everything step by step with 1.8.2 and it didn't work. So went with 1.9a and it worked! 25Kb/s turned into 200+ so I was pretty excited. However, it was short lived and right back to 25KB/s after a while.
The one thing I noticed and don't like about 1.9a is that it IGNORES my u/l limit and just u/l's my MAX.
I'll be going back to 1.8.2 and maybe try virtual box to beat the throttle....otherwise I will just accept it. | |

| It stopped working for me too so I downloaded the new version and it started working again.
It seems a little wonky and one torrent site I use doesn't allow beta clients but that ZeroShell thing isn't working for me anymore so this is my only option. | |

Using 1.9 beta build 14981
In Thornhill, Ontario
My ISP is Primus.
Followed the screenshot settings and for a few seconds it worked nicely *after I reseted the router*. and then it's back to maxing out at 30kB/s.
