Airtel throttle's Bittorrent !! ?

naveen_reloaded · 31-03-2008, 07:03 AM

Off lately me and many of my friends are seeing so much of slow speed over bittorrent with Airtel connection...
We all know throughout the world many isp's have started to interfere with bittorrent ,best example is comcast in U.S...,
And list goes on....
Has Airtel started to interfere or throttle bittorrent speed?

Can we use any tool to see if we can find it really does anything?

P.s i am on gprs, can anyone post the link from azureus wiki page regarding BAD ISP.S ?

It's not so in my region as it works fine. I use Bitcommet and its working fine.

Where are you from and what speed do you get?

NucleusKore · 31-03-2008, 07:16 AM

Mangalore, Karnataka, here, getting my usual 30 KB/s download.

Are you on 256 plan?

And do you use private or public torrents...please dont mention any torrent site names here...or else the thread might get closed...
I too get these peak values at times...but they are not constant...they hit very low to say 10kbps at times...
Is there a way to find if Airtel is interfering in our connection,ar they did it with comcast?

Yes I am on 256 UL

I download linux via bittorrent, at the moment I am downloading Sabayon (linux tracker.org)

Do you get constant speed and how long have you been a customer with Airtel and how often do you use torrent?
Coz they might interfere with constant users like me...who downloads everything , all time from torrent's...

No problem for me with Airtel and torrent

Enable encryption for outgoing and incoming traffic if you use azureus or utorrent. It should be relatively effective. If you don't frequently have these problems, then check if the tracker is down when this happens or if there aren't that many seeds/peers and also try downloading from normal sites to see if its torrent issue or airtel internet conx. issue.

Try changing your connection port to Port 80. You may get speed on this port if Airtel guys have blocked or limit the speed on other high range ports.

In uTorrent it can be changed in Options........Preferences........Connection

Anyways, have you done Port Forwarding?

naveen_reloaded · 01-04-2008, 12:45 PM

I nowadays get mostly post problem only...on azureus... Its showing NAT problem always... I dont know,...ok how frequently you use torrent or say gy much you guys downlod a day? ?

clmlbx · 01-04-2008, 10:00 PM

^^NAT problem means your firewall is blocking your azureus.

I have airtel connection and gets superb speed..........

I daily(every night) download atleast 700-800 mb.....both from private and public torrents..............I have 256k connection and it doubles in night so I get atleast 60 KBps..........and on microsoft server goes to 70--72 KBPS.......
