4 edits | ***Found a way past The Throttle!*** NO JOKE! First off I want to state Clearly THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!.
Second To be clear i am currently a Sympatico user. i have a Speed Stream 5242 connected to a dlink wbr2310 Wireless router. ( switching to tek april 18th! Damn 30days cancel policy) Now onto the Information,
i was throttled this evening to 30kb/s and decided to try some tricks to get past the throttle. After some goofing i decided to try popular protocol ports Like email and port 80 . After waiting I found I was UN throttled when using port 21/80! I thought maybe my throttle was removed So I once again Changed to port 22541 ( my personal BT port) and i was once again throttled i waited 10 minutes nothing changed. i went back to Port 21 Again Unthrottled.
I use azureus.
I have noticed when I am going thru my Router And not direct to the Modem this pretty much shuts down My web broswing ability But so what! I am going to test some other ports see if i can find others that may be Weak to this sneak so i make it work. while web browsing so Others Please try this if Your currently Throttled Change to use port 80, for tcp/udp In az and make sure encryption is on try on a heavily seeded torrent I have seen downloads up to 250k/s During throttle and then i go back to some random super high port. and Its once again 30k/s
Port 80 Max Speed - Unthrottled after a few Minutes!
Port 21 Max Speed - Unthrottled after a few Minutes!
Port 995 Max Speed - Unthrottled after a Few Minutes!
Port 8080 - Reports of Unthottled after a few mins!
Port 443 No Go Throttle remains
I Recommend Port 21 or 995 atm As port 80 Can Cause web traffic issues.
At The beginning it seemed like it was stuck in throttled mode but after 5 minutes or so it like ramps up like the Device throttling me gave up ? Please post ports u try as wel test this and Please ensure your throttled prior to posting sucess! | |

| Re: Found a way past The Throttle! Under tools> options for tcp/udp Port Choose port 80 , also encrypt your transport. make sure your in advanced mode I am Currently able to get past the bell Throttle using this. i am assuming its not intended to affect web traffic, so when i shunt encrypted traffic on port 80 it gets confused  woo small win for the lil guy Going to send this data to the bt team working to deafeat DPI. | |

Nepean, ON | If it does in fact work, the throttling box is always monitoring the packets so if it sees anything suspicious it will eventually throttle that traffic. | |

| are you sure it's the port that makes the difference, or are you just completely unthrottled tonight?
I'm just asking because i've been throttled consistently from 4pm to 2am (and occasionally until 6am) since it kicked in, but for some reason i'm not being throttled at all today | |

I suspect Bell won't let it last for long though. I was definitely throttled using other ports besides 80 and 21. | |

Good idea ... that was open office wasn't it? I'm using Flashget v1.96. I have encrypted protocol checked and using port 80 in that screen shot. | |

@bell.ca | Re: ***Found a way past The Throttle!*** NO JOKE! Bell's throttling is based on tracking down encrypted connections. Try port 21 or 80 unencrypted and see what happens. | |

1 edit | well Closing it merely minimizes it generally. Unless u actually Choose shutdown. etc.. it just goes to your system tray. also if your running azure get the status monitor plugin to see the difference when your running on differing ports. | |

| Yeah, I noticed it was minimized to the system tray, so I did close it, shut it down, the whole bit. Too bad it doesn't work for me.
I was throttled at 30kbs on utorrent but with azureus i'm below 10. (utorrent is shut down while i run azureus) | |

1 edit | Re: ***Found a way past The Throttle!*** NO JOKE! well i wish it would work for us all maybe it will I dunno I just Know for certain i can switch between throttled and not throttled by a change of port i imagine the Device throttling us is trying to avoid having to monitor every port otherwise it might Hinder Web/email traffic line it does to voip etc.. i find it takes up to 5 minutes before my torrent miraculously becomes uncapped. sometimes sooner. but i find port 21/Encrypted works best for me.
twjb i agree i would normally Not encrypt but It seems to work its noticeable after a few minutes of Throttling on port 21 it All of a sudden just skyrockets in speed like Whatever was Throttling hit an error or gave up. | |

I too can switch from random port >50000 where I'm fully throttled to 30K/s and port 80 or 21 where after a few minutes full speeds start come in. I've tried on a public and private tracker with success as well. | |

| Re: ***Found a way past The Throttle!*** NO JOKE! did you use cryptoport? and Uncheck allow incoming unsecure connections? should be a check in topbox then rc4 then 2 unchecked boxes then 1 checked box. on the transport encryption tab. and I have port 21 on there and it works also i am using http seeding | |
