| 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 | 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.  |

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 | 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. |

I tried what you suggested unfortunately, my torrent started throttling me on the non-hour throttling time...lol. I bet you're not being throttled. |

This works for me. YMMV. |

wonder what happens when you make DPI box think your torrenting is a SFTP session
hrmmmm |

1 edit | 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 |

Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a
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! |

Is disabling DHT a must to get this to work, or did you just happen to do it for personal preference? |

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. |

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. |

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. |

| 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. |

It Does Work
@teksavvy.com | reply to dbsanfte
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.. |
