And ObsidianParadox, Shaw is not selectively targetting you, nor throttling your connection. At present, this is not a practice of Shaw, and likely won't be within the foreseeable future.

Hm?

»shaw SLOW upload speed with bittorent

I've seen many posts about shaw throttling... and even some showing shaw admitted to it. Why else would they have DPI boxes? I don't actively follow it, so I'm not sure the specifics... some say it's done in saturated areas only, which may be the truth.. but who's the say the OP isn't in a saturated area?

I doubt theyre picking on certain users, more like certain over subscribed areas.

Re: upload speed decreases

In saturated areas there is throttling, but it's a blanket throttle for all non time sensitive information. They do not target P2P traffic specifically.

People post about a lot of things. It doesn't mean there's a lick of truth to their speculation.

Re: upload speed decreases

It also doesn't mean someone is being paranoid :P

He might be in one of the saturated areas. Upload suddenly dropping speed in half suggests throttling, or node being too full...And if they throttle uploads for nodes being full, then it stands to reason he's probably being throttled .

Re: upload speed decreases

That was not what he was implying... nor blatantly stating. Regardless, I agree with you completely on the latter part, though those are not the only potential causes.
