Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a

Why are you setting bt.transp_disposition to 10?

Have you done testing to actually prove that this particular setting is making your torrents unthrottled, since it could just be a concidence, or maybe it just seems to be faster to you?

Also would that setting of '10' not potentially eliminate peers from sharing with you (thus slowing you down) if you're only doing uTP in/out? Since not everyone is using it yet?

BTW, here's a quick FYI from the utorrent forums for anyone wondering what the transport disposition field controls and how:

For ut 1.8.3 & 1.9 bt.transp_disposition is a bitfield, so the following numbers can be ADDED or used on their own to get the desired effect:

4 - incoming TCP
8 - incoming uTP
1 - outgoing TCP
2 - outgoing uTP

Specific combinations:
5 - TCP incoming + outgoing only (uTP disabled)
10 - uTP only
13 - TCP incoming + outgoing with uTP outgoing only (*1.8.3 default)
15 - both TCP and uTP, incoming + outgoing (*1.9 default)

13's the recommended setting for 1.8.3 and 15 for 1.9

Oh yeah also, does it make a difference to set your port to 1723? In my tests it makes no noticable impact here.

Avoiding TCP altogether messes with the DPI boxes. That should have been pretty obvious.

I should mention that DPI was definitely active in my area during the above run, because I'd accidentally gotten myself throttled with non-throttled-hours settings (TCP enabled, no encryption...) a few minutes earlier, and had to reset my modem to clear it.

Using these settings I remained unthrottled the rest of the night.
