Re: ***Found a way past The Throttle!*** NO JOKE!
said by recneps  :theres an easier, free alternative. (Assuming you dont use more than 15gb/month on torrents ;p) If anyone pm's me and I recognize their name, I'll let them in on it) I'm sure you're talking about ImageShack's torrent downloads.

It's not like it's a big secret, there's already a thread about it in the Sympatico forum.

Yes, thats the one.
I wasn't aware of the sympatico post.
I figured it would be best to leave it off this topic, as bell could find a way to block their specific site 
(Actually, that is giving them alot of credit.. I doubt they could do it!  ) |

I'm currently at the worst friggen throttle ever. I can't download higher than 6 kb/s.
Absolutely unnaceptable. My youtube streaming is also a disgrace. I feel cheated! |

So, does the solution on the first page of this thread still work?
Basically what I'm asking is this: Is there any way to get past the throttle/lessen it and how do I do it?
Sorry, I didn't really want to read all 11 pages of this.
UPDATE: uTorrent 1.7.7 with Forced Encryption, no Legacy Connections and port 995 working fine, no throttle, for me. Sweet!

I'm all for this but I'm afraid of what the repercussions might be to all of this. It might go something like this.
"Bell to you: By violating our Network Management protocol we had no choice but to terminate your wholesale DSL connections. Should you wish to reconnect please call this number to be sure you understand the terms of service for the wholesale DSL connection."
And of course all this without any warning and with a fee to re-connect. At this point in the game I would not put nothing pass them. |

Tried it, still throttle'd. 995, same utorrent version, forced encryption, no legacy connections, does not work. You change ports and it'll work for about 10mins then the throttling kicks in, if its actually schedule'd to be on within your area. Obviously you either a) didn't test this long enough or b) Bell found your trick and disable'd the workaround.
So far I've had no luck beating this throttling, any other suggestions? |

You change ports and it'll work for about 10mins then the throttling kicks in, if its actually schedule'd to be on within your area. May be one way is to have a client that changes ports when it is being throttled. The fact that the download speed is capped at 30kB/sec ~1/10 speed out of your connection. Any algorithms that can give you a short burst at full speed even if it lasts 45 seconds every couple of minutes is going to give you higher average download speeds >30kB/sec. |

I don't know what to say. I changed my port for uTorrent 1.8b back to 995 and was downloading at full speed for the completion of two files. |

Well I don't know what to say, it was in the middle of the throttled time and continued working, I'm just glad I got something working for me. I suppose it could have cut out after a while, I wasn't watching it for THAT long, but it didn't seem to.
Maybe it's just my area? I've always found throttling to be sketchy here, even when I was with Sympatico I was never throttled, no idea why. This is the first time I've ever been throttled.

well for about the past week i've been using port 995 with encryption enabled in the latest utorrent beta and it's been like before the throttling. as of about 10 minutes ago i'm now locked at 30k down. upload is still bouncing around the 60s but download is 30k locked. no it's not my torrents. i had been doing 300k (my max) for about 45 minutes and now the graph has just flatlined in the last 10 mins.
my guess is bell found out about the port 995 and is now throttling incoming connections. upload still works fine and has to keep working as they use this port with encyption for outgoing e-mail. my guess is it will probably remain throttle free on the upload. again this just started tonight about 10 minutes ago. it seems as though they've now throttled the download on port 995. it's fine with me i guess as my main issue with throttling is maintaining my ratios on torrent sites. i don't really dl anything i NEED right away. aside from the obvious net neutrality concerns... |

I am in Eastern Europe and 5 days ago it throttled down to 30. If I turn off the uTorrent scheduler then all is good but if i turn it on then its back to 30. Port 995 worked. but... Eastern Europe!!!! |

The solution in the original Post still works But i do find it helps to rotate Your Ports. ie 995 today 21 tommorow 8080 the next day etc.. otherwise the ellacoya box catches on and throttles ya |

I'm thinking since users of Usenet are not throttled yet (including me), why not people try using port 119 on there torrent with full encryption as Usenet can still work on that port with SSL.
Try and respond back, and for the record I'm still not being throttled on Torrents as well so I can't test this.
Downside is that they'll make a move against Usenet if this works, but I believe the current storm heading towards Bell will make the choice of an Open Internet pervail. |
