Re: Is your P2P being throttled? Post your info here.
Yeah Montreal downtown east of Jacques Cartier Bridge. My phone central is on Papineau street. Download is very slow and goes from 26 to 60 KB/s.
It's 1:47 pm so I can confirm that they do throttle all day long. |

Wow this is totally weird. From 2:07 pm download speed is now going from 95 to 180 KB/s. Very unstable speed but faster. |

I'm being throttled for the first time today in Hamilton:
bas2-hamilton14
on the speedtouch modems, you can log in on the command line (telnet) and use the command ppp iflist to find your BAS. |

I am currently not throttled right now. Just finished downloading a 170MB file at ~400kbps. I have not downloaded anything else lately so I cannot confirm if I have or have not been throttled so far. I live in Saint-Laurent, Montreal. |

join:2008-02-03 | Ok, checked out "ppp iflist" and my BAS is bas5-montreal28.
My torrents have been throttled for over 24h straight - it seems like "peak hours" may have become 24/24 for me. |

Small computer support company .. maintaining sites all over Ontario..
our sunderland ontario (primus, nexxia bell 3rd party) site is been cut to more then half there normaly daily speed. its effecting the voip pbx we are running there.. though we took mesures to optimize our QOS with our routers. Scarborough (teksavvy, nexxia bell 3rd party)a few of our clients networks speeds have been cut. (note these are all dsl and business static ip accounts)
My rogers home account seems the same did a speedtest and its about what it normally is just under 7 meg with 400 something upload..

I am now to BitTorrent. Only installed it after Bell started to tell kids not to do BitTorrent 
Right now, I am seeding one large file, and I go betwween 1KB/s to now 24kB/s. (but for a long time, it was between 1 and 6. After 2am, this shoots up to 62 and above. So I am not even hitting the 30KB/s.
For the downloads, I have 3 torrents opened. One is a 55megabyte file doing a whopping 7 KB/s. The others are 6gig files, doing a whopping 0 KB/s with 5 seeds (29 peers). BitTorrent is telling me I will have to way 15 days to get it
Here is my question:
I am getting a constant stream of connect requests to my port 6800 (configured Bittorrent to use from 6800 to 6900). Probably more than 1 per second.
Is this an indication that Bell is constantly sendingsome reset forged packets, with the remote guy then trying to reconnect to me ?
What if everyone configured their routers to ignore reset packets during bittorrrent downloads ?
BTW, during thrittling hours, I now get from time to time, some DSLR timeouts. |

| It,s been over two hours. The 6 gig file is now at a whopping 0.4%. Time remaining: ** 19 days ***
This isn't "throttling". It is beyond "mutilating". If I were 7-of-9, I would send a huge jold of plasma energy through Bell's lines to blow those throttling boxes.
Teksavvy needs to start to bundle dial-up hours with its DSL offering (and bill Bell Canada for it) because dial-up is going to be faster than DSL. |

Is this an indication that Bell is constantly sendingsome reset forged packets, with the remote guy then trying to reconnect to me ? I'd recommend picking a higher port. Lots of trackers and even some clients will block traffic from port 6800, to avoid malicious hosts. I recommend something above 16000, for no particular reason at all.
As for whether this is an indication of Bell screwing with your connection through resets, I cannot say, but I think they're in favour of just slowing the packets down enough that TCP's natural traffic congestions takes care of the rest. |

| A little bit after midnight, the download rate increased from roughly 25KB/s to roughly 45 KB/s.
Looks like Bell is having random implementation of its goddammend throttling engines.
With reguards to 6800, I will look into changing it. One reason I used it was that I can combine this as a single block if IPs to direct to my Mac on the router's NAT table. That table is full at the moment :-( Wasn't aware that it would have problems with 6800. |

| Bell is definitely listening to this board. Download rate now down to 5 KB/s :-( :-( :-( :-(
But those precious minutes at 45 KB/s allowed the software to chop a full day off : now down to only 17 days to download the stuff !
Will see if at 01:00, Bell will allow the rates to go up to 60. like it did last time I tried to download something. |

Nice. You can get the info in DMT as well by sending that command on the info2 tab and looking near the bottom. I knew there had to be way to get from DMT rather than the HTTP interface.
I haven't been throttled yet, so I'm not going to give out my BAS at the moment. |

02:00 came and went. Nothing changed.
But after about 02:30, speeds did pickup, I am now betwee 34 and 50KB/s. (I was at about 10-25 before).
On torrent has 35 peers, the other has 45 peers. I am respectively at 2.1 and 3.2%, and most of the peers have plenty more content than I do, so I should be able to get a much higher speed.
Damned you BELL !
If they're to have specicic hours for throttling, they shoudl stick to them. This is absolutely unacceptable. Am I expected to stay up all night to wait to see if I can finally download what I want to download ?
If Bell removed their &?%&?%*&?$ throttling, I would have long abo been done downloading these files and be asleep now. But as it stands, I am still "bothering" Bell,s network and forcing that &*%?$%*&%$ throttling box to Fire trUCK with traffic to disrupt it.
On the good news side, the download for one file went down from 19 days to 4 days The other one went from 8 days down to 5. |

| At around 5:00 to 5:30, rates increased to about 50-55KB/s from 25. Now, it is just past 07:00 and I just hit 100 recently (but now down to 73).
Estimates now down to 3 days to download instead of up to 19 days I saw during throttling.
Since about 20:00, (11 hours), I have downloaded 634 MB, and uploaded 517.
That is 57 megabytes per hour. Or roughly 16KB/s average. Half of what Bell says it is throttling at, and that includes a period without throttling. (I've just seen it go to 120KB/s) |

| Since about 08:00, my download rates have shot up. I have seen it as high as 218 KB/s. Before 08:00, it never went much about 100.
I suspect Bell limits usage to varying extents outside its defined business hours. Ironic that they would force heavy downloaders to do all theiwr downloading duyring business hours. If we truly affect the network that much, you'd think they would want to protect business users first by throttling during business hours so business users can do their simple HTTP without being disturbed by neighbours downloading video and music. |

same thing was happening to me last night. Every 20-25 minutes it was like the engine gave up and i jumped to 500kB/sec, then shortly after, back down to 60kB/sec |

It sounds like you might not have your torrent client setup right or the network configured right to forward the ports. What torrent client are you using? The slow speeds are not necessarily to blame on the throttling, with torrents there are a lot of factors involved that effect the speed you can get. Even though you said there were lots of peers and seeds, it doesn't mean you were connected to all of them.
