uTorrent graph snapshot taken at 9:25pm Monday April 14, 2008. Upload traffic throttled at around 30kB/s. Same figures for download speeds.



This starts at past 6pm or 6:30pm (was too busy to check today) and goes on until 6am, it seems, but I have yet to stay that late to verify this.

Uniserve does not openly acknowledge this is going on. They say they will need weeks to conducts "tests".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334816 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:37:18 EDT Re: Is your P2P being throttled? Post your info here. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20322743 anon :

This next part is concerning the fact that some seem to think that the throttle box is infallible ..
Let me gather my thoughts on this subject:
- A magical black box that is made by a Startup in a do or die environment?

- One that is claimed to do wire speed at real time DPI?

- installed and used on customer's site works first time?

- A router would typically be able to do the routing for a packet in a handful of instructions. Companies are making this at full volume production. I would be extremely surprised if the startup would be able to do this within an order of magnitude of horsepower of that of a typical router constraint by a similar retail price while still trying to recoup their R&D cost.

Impossible... Next thing you know is that Bell is not lying.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20322743 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 12:21:20 EDT Re: Is your P2P being throttled?

Looks like someone finally took a snapshot of throttling going on well into the morning. SO I guess my complaints about it happening are not mere figments of my imagination.

I'm hesitant to post on this issue, since I've been told to not blame the "throttle box" whenever my p2p acitivities gets a good kick in the gonads. :(

This next part is concerning the fact that some seem to think that the throttle box is infallible .. and you can time you clock by it.

Sorta like trying to blame everything else but the bad box..

Are you sure it's not your modem .. or maybe you PC ? Or perhaps it might be your router ? .. you know ... the kind of router that wants to limit your speed to cause it to flatline at 30 Kb/s ?

Haha ... don't take me too seriously.. I am simply being sarcastic... to demonstrate a point in this forum.

No throttle boxes were harmed in this post !

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.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20301129 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 08:23:25 EDT Re: Is your P2P being throttled?

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.

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.

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.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20300359 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 00:15:37 EDT Re: Is your P2P being throttled?

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20300116 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:12:34 EDT Re: Is your P2P being throttled?

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20300051 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:00:06 EDT Re: Is your P2P being throttled?

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:

What if everyone configured their routers to ignore reset packets during bittorrrent downloads ?

Was fine yesterday up/down at max speeds at same time as now (7:30pm).

Now about 26KB down/26KB up (not even 30KB). I am attempting to download a torrent with over 400 seeders (and only 40 leechers) as a test!!! Normally I'd be pegged at 500KB/s plus. 27KB/s is pathetic! :mad:

The only positive note is I won't go over my bandwidth (I was getting close and had to slow down the UP to 25KB anyway to avoid going over) :o

BTW what is BAS and how do you find it on the 2wire modem?
BAS = Broadband Access Server. It's a glorified Bell router that aggregates connections from SLAMs in a particular area. It is mentioned because some suspect throttling is performed at the BAS level.

For the 2Wire 2700HG, to find the BAS name:
1. Go to »192.168.1.254/mdc
2. Click on Summary under Broadband Link
3. Look under the ISP Details section]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20214002 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:05:41 EDT Re: Is your P2P being throttled?
