2 edits |  [Speed] workaround for Comcast Throttling issues.. (torrent)
If you use a router where you can edit IPTABLES, the following command will drop the reset packets at the router before coming into your network and hitting your torrent client:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport *x* --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP
- where *x* is the port used by your BitTorrent client
Comcast is my ISP, and I use a Linksys Router loaded with the DD-WRT software (www.dd-wrt.com). When I do not have the above entered into my IPTABLES, I experience throttling issues and my uploads/downloads come to almost a halt after 30 minutes or so. When I do have the above entered into my IPTABLES... no problem! I currently have 9 torrents seeding with each averaging 20.1 kB/s up (which is my upload bandwidth limit). I am downloading another torrent averaging 157.9 kB/s down /\ 52.3 kB/s up.
Mod Note: Please keep it in one thread ---> »Comcast is using Sandvine to manage P2P Connections | |

notajive, that would be because 'iptables' is Linux-based ( Netfilter ). More specifically, 'iptables' is the tool to manipulate Netfilter tables, chains and rules.
You'll want to read up on 'ipfw', which is the BSD-based firewall which is included in Mac OS X.
You can do the same lunacy as above, drop all TCP RSTs for dest port 6113.
Take care. | |
