I am capped at 30K/sec, but for curiosity tried to download CNGPM. It is coming down at 500K/sec. |

You should run this same test during the "throttled times" to see if it happens again.

Please don't post direct links to torrents in the forum. The CBC page with the link would be allowed however. |

I'm curious: I have seen direct links to various non-copyrighted videos, non-copyrighted mp3's and other such material in these forums. What is the issue with a perfectly 'legal' torrent?
I remember the early days of mp3's when a lot of people afraid to touch mp3's (period) because they had been brainwashed by the massive music cartel FUD campaign into believing the lie that mp3's were inherently illegal. Luckily, people eventually wised up to their lies. |

Is this some official rule for DSLR? If so, perhaps you might cite the relevant regulation so that readers may know that it is a site rule and not some capricious, personal predilection of your own.
(Or did I stumble upon China's version of DSLR, where random CENSORSHIP is to be expected?)

They have a point. Seems to be a lot of enforcement of rules but no links to the sections to back them up.

I have always found the moderators on this forum too quick to censor/delete.
Rather than an iron fist perhaps a friendly finger would be better. No, not the middle finger either. |

No, not the middle finger either. I believe that. And there are other people in the forum who think we don't delete or censor enough -- we hear from them too. You'll have that divergence of opinion in any forum with more than 15 or so participants.
The Filesharing forum has been on this site for years, and to the best of my understanding they've always stayed away from direct torrent links. So we're not inventing a new standard. We're in between allowing torrent links, and forbidding any discussion of filesharing at all (both of which positions have support among readers here).
If we could get back to the topic that would be nice.

Test it yourself.
It appears bell isnt just inspecting that you're using BT, but rather, what it is.
I had one download going - max 30.
I started the CBC torrent - max 60.
start the original one again, max 30.
Either huge coincidence or...? |

| So, download the Next Prime Minister.
Then download Fedora 9 Preview to see if there is a significant difference in performance.
Then report your findings to CRTC, as pointed here:

I just tried downloading Canada's Next Great Prime Minister and it was heavily throttled, I was only able to reach one tenth of my normal download speed for this torrent. |
