Java is object oriented, which means the code is broken down into completely separate parts that can be reused or reconfigured. All the little pieces can easily be changed or upgraded in a much shorter time. The work is much easier to portion out to a team. Azureus will continue to be the most upgradeable with the best plug ins because it is Java based.

Others should enable it because it will help them too when trying to establish connections with a throttled user or blocked user.

The rationale is that unthrottled users don't want to waste CPU cycles encrypting data for no reason. It could support both by default (via fallback) but that could slow down torrent ramp up time and just generally make things more complicated in the more common use case. An effort has been made, in Azureus anyways, to have the minimal impact on regular users while still helping out throttled users.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15461037 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 17:23:35 EDT Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15460305 TKI7 : someone tell me if this is right... if a person has azureus 2.4.0.0 or utorrent 1.4.1 beta and doesn't have encryption enabled but you have it enabled, you'll still be able to recieve encrypted data from them? other people dont have to have it enabled, right? just you, if you're being throttled, right?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15460305 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 15:28:19 EDT Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15459767 anon : Haha Man I'm such a Noob Thanks guys.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15459767 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 14:03:23 EDT Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15459674 pulp39 : I checked them for demonstration purposes, (no need for this in Carp) these settings are greyed out if not checked, kinda easy to miss if you don't pay attention.

If 1720 was not good for you (ie. all ports throttled) then you're probably best off just enabling RC4 encryption with no fallback. If 1720 is good then also allow incoming fallback. A Shaw user claims that if he has any unencrypted sessions on the same port then things are bad for him so experiment. Things are quitely likely different even within one ISP's network.

»https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.ph···=3571715

This setting should allow you to:

1) Connect to anyone running AZ 2.4.0.0 (or uTorrent 1.4.1 beta).
2) Receive connections from anyone running AZ 2.4.0.0 (or uTorrent) who has enabled encryption.

You're limited in the actual numbers of compatible peers currently but Azureus users are getting auto-update messages now. Anyone that updates will increase #1. #2 will only increase if they enable encryption but most won't unless they know they are throttled.

As perfect as you're going to get for now. This scheme maintains full backward compatibility for non-throttled users and gives throttled users as much access as possible to the swarm without compromising that.

The next step by ISPs will have to be more intensive traffic flow analysis of all your connections in aggregate or to more vigorously enforce bit caps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15459136 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 12:25:20 EDT Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15458965 anon : Hey guys for Rogers what am I actually supposed to check and not check. my 1720 was being throttled so I Downloaded the new Azerus 2.4 relaese but not sure what to do with it.

I recommended it to a few for that but Rogers customers check out the new Azureus 2.4.0.0 and let me know how it does with Rogers. 2.4.0.0 is significant because it now supports full encryption BUT it only works with Azureus and utorrent clients that also have it enabled. It's disabled by default in options but since its free why don't you encourage all Rogers customers to get it and see if things improve. Another idea to make this help-post on your BT forums awareness that they should enable this with fallback option set on. If you can get a good number in your tracker to do this, it may work.

If there are no successful incoming connections, Azureus will think you are firewalled.

Just because people are downloading v2.4 doesn't mean they are configuring encryption. Most people won't and don't need to. They will accept encrypted connections from you but will still only initiate normal connections. You should check the "allow unencrypted connections" boxes especially if port 1720 was working for you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15456110 Sat, 11 Feb 2006 21:19:20 EDT Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15456021 bloomblaum : here's a new wrinkle: azureus now informs me that i'm "Firewalled." i've been able to download torrents fine all this time, my port (1720) is open, it's being redirected properly and for some reason all of a sudden i can't connect at all. what gives? anyone else having this same problem?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15456021 Sat, 11 Feb 2006 21:03:56 EDT Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15455810 westt : brimley and 14th...

There really is no difference between Rogers and Bell in terms of torrent dl's.
IF ANYTHING Rogers is better (even though I'm sure they're just as an evil a company).
I HAD Hell Sympatico at my old man's house and it was decent at best for high speed dl's.
My Aunt has Rogers and it's phenomenal for dl times.

You guys seem to confuse kbps and KB/sec alot. 1 KB/sec or kilobyte a sec=about 8 kbps or kilobits per second which every isp measures by to look good. RR's shaper in this area is weird sometimes no effect sometimes massive but seems to only function if I've been downloading/sharing for hours but then it adjusts ports fast. Mainly now the new models do this by packet headers and patterns, not port. 100 KB/sec is not horrible if you consider hosts are split often and don't have their pcs configured as long as you get higher sometimes. When RR finally responds, download with 20 seeds can be 3 KB/sec. This is Rogers forum so I will tell you how I bypassed this and see if Rogers customers benefit. A program called http tunnel, it requires some config work or the connection sometimes crashes. It encrypts connections to proxies that then unencrypt. Its top speeds aren't as good as what I get before filtering kicks in, but it sure does help after it does.

Download speeds are much higher, trackers don't time out as much, and you're able to see a lot more people in the swarm.

If you use your Internet connection for mainly BitTorrent, then Bell is probably the way to go.

I also live in Ottawa, and am on the rchrd phub. We got a letter for excessive usage before the cap was instituted, but those were all seemingly hollow threats.

At first, for us, around November I'd say, Azureus started going REALLY slow, like 0-1k/s.

Port 1720 fixed this, but, since Jan. 1st, all my torrents are stuck on 0.

We called Rogers, and, at first, they denied anything about bittorrent throttling. Finally, we went to the cancellation department, and they transferred us to some really high up person in tech support (yeah right), and he acknowledged the throttling, and said there was nothing he could do.

We decided to cancel, even though we've been with Rogers forever, there was nothing we could do.

We now are looking for a new ISP to go with.

Every seed "serves" a part of a file. P2P is really a client-server relationship ... but the "server" part is generally ignored by the ISPs who have No Servers rules.

Here is my story:

I was having problems with it (I am on the rchrd (Richmond Road in Ottawa) phub) and I was seeing downloads drop to 0-1k and maybe climb to 17k for a couple seconds, rinse and repeat.

So, I called Rogers this morning and the person in technical support said that yes they are capping bittorrent due to it swamping their network. I can understand why they are doing it but I think as my area does not have an alternative (too far from the switch for Bell, Magma, Telus) the only option is Rogers. Thus the subnet I am on is probably saturated in general.

So since the main reason I use is for downloading TV shows (not movies or much software) I called back and decided to drop to 128K lite version.

The best part was that I asked the person when I dropped my package and she said "Oh it is illegal for us to provide that high of speed for residential" Don't know what crack she was on.

Anyways the point I was trying to make is does changing the port to 1720 really work? I was under the impression that they are filtering by the header not by the port. I was setting my port to 58880 but that also didn't increase the speed.

I followed up with an email to their support saying I have
dropped my package to lite and will be interested in upgrading again when either they relax the cap or when Sympatico is available in my area.

Always an option...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15081627 Thu, 22 Dec 2005 15:18:54 EDT Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15080790 kkapoor : How safe is it to have these ports open?

here, i personally tested some ports that confirms steady and reasonable speed on BC 6.0.

1st, port 1755. original usage: rogers yahoo music streaming

2nd, port 587. original usage: yahoo suggested SMTP email service, in order to replace the blocked port 25.(usually lots of spams are sent via 25)

3rd, port 5100. original usage: yahoo messenger webcam services.

i only have time to test these 3 for now. i guess, as the rogers having partnership with yahoo, there will be more ports opened for their internet services. if u have any ports tested, plz reply. these might help hopefully.
