Re: How to defeat the throttle
I have utorrent 1.8.2 , can someone guide me with the setting, i forward the port 1723 and when i test it all is good. Where i get confused is the UDP port??? where do i asign it, what is the value? is it 50 or 500? Also when people say to reboot modem, do i have to rebbot modem and router ? Thanks any guidance will be appreciate.

I recently switched from Rogers to Bell (not my decision.)
I read that Rogers also throttle speeds, but I was always able to download torrents at 700-800 kb/s with Rogers.
Bell clearly throttle speeds, the most i can get is 30 kb/s, sometimes 50 kb/s.
I tried the method suggested here, chose 1723 as the port, forwarded it (i get green checkmark in utorrent), unchecked the boxes and set protocol encryption to "forced", but it doesn't seem to work - i`m downloading 2 highly seeded movies at 30 kb/s combined.
can anyone help me?
thanks  |

Work perfectly. First I was a bit sceptic (this was realeased some time ago)
Set port to 1723.
Disabled DHT
Waited... 30 second... from 30kb/s to 300kb/s (and getting faster!)
THANKS !
What a great feeling to know that this ******** company can just go **** itself.
Next step : Get rid of my Bell cellphone contract (20$ by remaining month to cancel... tose f**** a*******)
Have a nice day  |

Plain and simply put, this works.
For those that it doesn't work for, go back to step one, ALL settings must be correct, not just your port setting of 1723.
there have been quite a few saying 'my port 1732 or port 1753 doesn't work!' VPN is 1723, not 1732 nor 1753, . Any UPNP or port randomizing will nullify the effect.
Bell simply cannot and will not invest the resources to crack and monitor VPN encrypted tunnels, regardless of legality. They're a bunch of cheap bastards, we all know that, so do you really believe they have an 'Echelon' level infrastructure capable of cracking thousands of encrypted VPN tunnels every second?
BTW, doing this doesn't mean you are automatically going to run maxxed out at peak bandwidth. Like anything else on the internet, your bandwidth is the result of MANY factors, slow computers/servers, slow routers, slow backbones, and much much more..

Re: How to defeat the throttle

Screw off Bell!

weird. after using this method and getting over 400kb/s while downloading 20 files at the same time, the speed took a MASSIVE plunge and went from 400+ to max 60. this happened at 4.30 pm, and now i am limited to 60kb/s, and i didn't change any settings or anything. am i being throttled again? |

This method and pretty much any other that I/you may be able to find will not work all the time or forever. Evey method I have tried so far has had limited success. Certain times of the day I am still throttled to 30kb/s and other times it blazes at 400kb/s. I'm pretty sure it is throttling all port/packets depending on network load. Can't confirm this but thats what it looks like to me. |

For those asking for Azureus (Vuze) instructions - try the following link (using 1723 as your incoming listen port options-->connection):

I'm in Windsor, Ontario with an ISP using Bell's lines and was getting throttled to 20kb/s at 4:30pm each day. After implementing these changes I'm back to saturating my connection (as at 5:02pm) |

| Just got home from school and stuck with Bell again. Luckily I stumbled across this little miracle and now have legit speeds. Thanks guys. |

So they are just throttling torrents down right, as my other sharing programs don't seem to have any problems with it. |

Hello,
First post here (long time lurker though).
Sorry to revive this oldish thread, but you guys are the only resource I can trust on this issue.
I followed the pdf's instructions to the letter on uTorrent (for Mac, but all the prefs are there), but I can't manage to bypass the throttle. Port is 1723 (tried the others from the pdf too), no randomization, restarted the modem and got a new address, no DHT.
No joy... still at around 28KB/s.
Has anything changed since May the 16th?
Thx,
Loa |

I've also tried the method and still being capped. Anyone else have luck? Did they make any changes to cap this issue or something? |

1723 port failed.
Tried 500 port. works like a charm. Thanks! |

Well, 16:30 arrived and my p2p speeds dropped to 60kb/s.
I got 6 very well and very large torrents running: spent the day at maximum connection speed...
If anyone has any advice, I sure would like to hear it!

Try using ultravpn it is free. It should work and it's easy to use. Not sure if works for vista or windows 7. I have tried it with xp and it works great.

Well 60kb/s is better than that crap before. I'm getting about 145kb/s download which is pretty good IMO. |
