Quakky : Arbalister said back in 2008 :
" I've got my router set up to manage the connections. I've got windows set up to negotiate MLPPP via the check box in the connection properties. The pppoe connection in windows is *never* used to establish a connection, since the router always does. I'm not throttled. In fact, I never even had a windows pppoe connection until someone mentioned that there was an mlppp checkbox on it. I created one, turned on mlppp, hit connect (the first time) and it somehow seems to have actually connected...and the throttling on the torrent I was downloading stopped. I rebooted my machine. Opened a browser and *did not* connect, actually told it to never connect, and started a torrent. No throttle. Brought up the properties screen for the pppoe connection, turned off mlppp...and was throttled moments later. Turned it on, still not "connected" via windows...and no throttle.

Simply creating a pppoe connection and telling it to use mlppp is all you need to do."

is that still working? if so, how is he creating a pppoe connection when using Local Area connection?

mine is grayed out

Robrr : Guys, did you actually look at the graph. The connection drops to zero and the port forward is not the green checkmark. Frankw suffered a disconnect, not Bell's throttle. Hell his download is already back above 30KBps

As for Bell finding out, THEY ALREADY KNOW! There are Bell employees using this method to evade throttling.

Quakky : I am sad to say that this does work.

The reason why this is sad is because Bell is looking at this thread right now and analyzing the settings so they can counter it as soon as possible

It is also sad because someone probably is gonna get fired/ got fired for not doing his/her job right, which is destroy BT as we know it.

I believe that stuff like this should not be shared in public forums where dickhea...i mean Bell can just come in here and counter any attempts of bypassing their hopefully soon to be illegal action.

OP next time you find something like this, pm some trusted people who will pm some more trusted people..word of mouth goes along way

For anyone still having trouble, I upgraded from uTorrent 1.9b to 2.0b and am using the following settings:

- Port 1723 (VPN)
- Everything unchecked on BitTorrent tab except Bandwidth Mgt
- Protocol encryption Forced, legacy connections disabled.
- Under advanced, bt.transp_disposition set to 10 (uTP only).
- reset modem after applying these settings.

After the above, speeds fluctuates around maximum speed (380-400KB/s). Torrent has 1500 seeds.

Then I tried to download a second torrent and it fell to 30 (10 and 20) :(
I installed the 1.9 version with the settings recommended and nothing :(

I installed the 2.0 version and still throttled at 30...

In the advanced panel of my 2.0 version, there is: bt.ratelimit_tcp_only between the : bt.prio_first_last_piece

maybe I need to change it? Even with my 1.9 version I had that one too...

Napalm Frog : Okay, so I just moved to my new Waterloo apartment, and had my TSI hooked up via dry loop today. I've been testing torrents for the past 30 minutes, and although speeds fluctuate insanely, I tend to average about 150 KB/s during the lunch hour. Does this mean I am not being throttled? Or is it likely throttling will commence soon? I just want to know because if 150 KB/s is still low, maybe I should do MLPP anyways. Or is it because of the fact there is a large Bell building literally in my apartments backyard?

On that note, my parents in Milton, also see similar speeds to this (assuming seeds are really good), and average about 100 KB/s. I was under the understanding that throttled speeds were 30-40KB/s, no?

l0thar : Quick update to any interested parties, uTorrent is now up to version 2.0 Beta - they will be skipping the 1.9 version number all together due to the amount of changes in this upcoming version.

People who are using v1.9 alpha might want to look at this improved version.

»forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=60602

quote:
1.9 is now 2.0, and we've hit beta!

Release Notes:

* We've added UDP tracker support!
* uTP has been improved significantly over the previous alpha, with many bugs fixed and performance improvements. It's no longer hidden in Advanced settings.
* The setup dialog has been overhauled to make it much easier to use and with a built-in speed test. It's still not quite complete yet, but this will give you a good taste of what we're up to with it!
* Transfer caps are now configurable, with usage tracking and graphs.

EDIT :

Turns out there are some annoying bugs on this version, so until there's a fix, 1.9 version is better, imo. :(

moggy : you cant use it on private sites
and utorrent 1.8.3 is out today it has utp
A lot of fixes for this release. uTP support has been much improved to better handle mixed-mode uTP and TCP. It is not enabled by default for outgoing connections.

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

I usually reset my bt.transp_disposition back to 13 during non-throttled hours but this afternoon I forgot to do that but I don't seem to be throttled anymore? Is this happening with anyone else?

I don't know why I was throttled before I reset my modem and router but I was clearly throttled as I could not get past 30kB/s and that particular torrent downloaded much faster after the reset.

I did not change any settings in uTorrent after the reset.

Second. Im at work right. so im not sure of what i saying. but i think bell throttle betwenn 4pm and 2 am. at those time I get 100kb.... and the rest of the time i get 300... i think thats whats hapenning... its still better then before but anyways.

Isnt there good website where we can just pay like 50$ a year and get unlimited download. that would just be way simpler. than all that trouble I went threw to get my speed up... But at less now I know that bells are sucker. and i know abit more about computers. because ive been download at 20 kbs for more than a year now.

Now i need to try the new utorrent alpha. . I ve downloaded one and 1 hour later there was a new one already. lol

Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a

Sat, 23 May 2009 10:56:38 EDT

dbsanfte : That video is terrible.

Alright Hebrekon, here you go, an explanation.

UDP is a protocol. TCP is a different protocol. Put simply, they're different ways of sending packets out of your computer.

Up until lately, all torrents have been using TCP, essentially because it's easier. TCP is like a phone call... you call the other person, transfer your data, and hang up. But it's very easy to keep track of who's talking to whom, isn't it? That's how Bell throttles: they listen in on the 'line' and tell that you're talking to lots of other computers about Bittorrent. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

UDP is not a phone call. There's no start or stop to the conversation, it's just individual words sent one after another, and they can arrive in any order, or even not at all.

Let's compare how TCP and UDP would send the following sentence:

"The cat in the hat."

TCP would just open a connection, say it from start to finish, and hang up.

UDP would split it up into individual words: 'the' 'cat' 'in' 'the' 'hat', and send out five separate packets to the target computer. The packets may arrive out of order, or even not at all, and need to be resent. And it's up to the computer at the other end to put them together properly.

The key advantage is, it's really really hard to keep track of a UDP conversation, because there's no 'call' and 'hang up' phone call like with TCP. Essentially, UDP confuses the throttling hardware. So it can't tell you're talking about Bittorrent.

Re: Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a

Hebrekon : thats good to know.... I that that udp has to do with how many seeds i get ,,, I think... but can someone explain what it is. cause i really have no clue... just for personnal knowledge.

2) I guess MultiPPP is completely impossible with bell ?!?

3) What is uTP.... and do I have to force it to absolutely force it to*10 to get that fix.

4) I would undestand you would not want to explain everything. to prevent bell`s tyranny.

5)How do we complain about bell`s throttling. Ive viewed this video on youtube.

2) So are you trying to tell me that the only way to get fast torrent dl is to change providers and there is no way to get around it because im with Bell...

Yes, I would really recommend you considering leaving Bell - they are the ones causing you and everyone the grief you are going thru.

One of the BEST ways to let them know and fight back is to deny them the $$$, by moving to a different provider. If enough people do that, it shows in their money inflows, and someone might notice.

Multilink ppp is currently the best way to avoid the throttling, and of course Bell is not going to offer you that.

You can also save money too, since alternative ISPs do charge less than Bell, offer higher monthly badwidth quotas (some of them offer unlimited). I am paying $30 a month for service that is probably near $50 at Bell.

Customer service and tech support are also much, much better than what bell offers nowadays (atrocious).

3) is teksavy throtlling two... and buy doing what what said in this forum previously ( dl utrront 1.9a, and port 1723 and all ) fixes that. OR teksavvy is not throlling right now ??
(im saying right now becaue probably they will eventually but wtv that in the futur, and for now id like to DL at 500kb like im supose too)

Teksavvy is not throttling, but their clients (and the cleints of most other independant DSL wholesalers) ARE being affected by Bell's imposed throttling during peak times. After 4 pm, until 2 am you are affected.

But that's due to Bell's actions, and there's a fight at the CRTC against that.

said by Hebrekon :

Ive did everything from trying port 80, port 1723. and even port fowarding (and hosting them, wtv it means becasue im really clueless in all of this). So ive tryed all of it (hopefully not everything because that means im scrude) and Ive never NEVER manage to KEEP more than a few seconds a speed higher then 100kbs.

is there anything I can do to get my dl to at less 300.

as I mentioned, the only sure way currently to consistently defeat the throttle is to move to an ISP supporting multilink ppp.

The uTorrent alpha version does work, if you have the correct settings AND there's enough people in the swarm supporting the new udp data transfer modes. But it's hit and miss, while mlppp works, all the time (for now at least).

Good luck!

said by dbsanfte :

It's strange that a lot of people don't seem to have success with this, because in my experience, forcing uTP in uTorrent with this particular configuration beats the Bell throttle consistently.

So, walkthrough.

You'll need the uTorrent 1.9 alpha, this is a link to the March 24th build: »download.utorrent.com/beta/utorr···.upx.exe

Once you've gotten that, you'll need to do the following.

Set the bittorrent configuration options as you see here in these screenshots.

In the advanced settings, you'll need to force bt.transp_disposition to 10, in order to force uTorrent only to use the uTP UDP protocol.

Note that the specific port setting is important in my experience.

If MLPPP isn't an option for you, this should get you unthrottled reasonably well. Results in the last screenie at 12am during throttling hours, after about 25mins of solid downloading.

Thank You for offering this !

What I have noticed (which may be affecting some peeps' mileage) is, simply put, that if there are not enough folks out there who have the file you want AND have uTP enabled at THEIR end, then you could even get NOTHING in some cases where you originally got SOME transfer speed before changing the settings at YOUR end.

For MY usage, I occasionally flip between normal settings and YOURS, depending on what I'm getting at the time.

And sometimes, it makes a BIG difference (other times, not).

Cheers ! :)

One last observation : The uTorrent installer file at the link you provided is not the same version as what was there when I first downloaded it. - I do not know whether that matters.

So ive tried all of it (hopefully not everything because that means im screwed) and Ive never NEVER manage to KEEP more than a few seconds a speed higher then 100kbs.

is there anything I can do to get my dl to at less 300.

do I really need to get my rocket launcher and blow up who ever i need to blow up to get this to work like its suppose to.

2) So are you trying to tell me that the only way to get fast torrent dl is to change providers and there is no way to get around it because im with Bell...

3) is teksavy throtlling two... and buy doing what what said in this forum previously ( dl utrront 1.9a, and port 1723 and all ) fixes that. OR teksavvy is not throlling right now ??
(im saying right now becaue probably they will eventually but wtv that in the futur, and for now id like to DL at 500kb like im supose too)

l0thar : Hebrekon,

Yes, remove any tracker URLs that have udp://www... on them.

uTorrent does not support udp torrents yet, so it adds errors and overhead.

Multilink PPP is when you combine more than one PPP session together.

Some people have more than one phone line with DSL service, and if their ISP supports multilink ppp, they can combine these lines into one session. It adds the speed of the lines, some are getting 10,000 kb/s downloads that way.

Now, multilink ppp can also be run over a single phone line (like most of us have); in this case, it can bypass the throttling on Bell's dpi gear.

You would need service from an isp supporting multilink ppp, at this time I believe that's Teksavvy, Velcom, and possibly Acanac.

l0thar : heyyahblah - just noticed something in your two screenshots.

One of the torrents has two trackers listed, one being an udp one. uTorrent doesn't support udp tracked torrents, so you should remove that on from the list.

The other one has a HUGE list of trackers, which add traffic and "busy-ness" to your client. I would consider removing some of them, it reduces the overhead and frees up time for other tasks.

If you still want the older alpha, I can attach it here, but I think the newer one is improved.

Likely, Bell's DPI gear had detected you and gave you a hard time. Try rebooting the modem, wait a few minutes, before restarting uTorrent again.

i have the settings like on pg 1 on port 1723 and i'm getting fking thorttled at 25-30kb/sec.

i tried uninstalling it and running ccleaner and rebooting but no go, when I re-install it still remembers the old settings.

anyway to completely remove the alpha from the system so it forgets it and program the settings from fresh? i hate being throttled, even on these settings its like it doesn't see it. or something. tips?

Speeds you can get with the method in the original post are limited by the number of people in the swarm supporting udp transfers - that will be only people using newer uTorrent (and sometimes the Bit Torrent client 6.2) versions.

In a popular torrent, you might have enough connections to get good speeds. If is a small one, you would not be connected to anyone not using udp mode. So, your mileage may vary. ;)

Yes, have seen the same happen. It seems to get carried away, sometimes. Not all the time, but like you said, it can saturate your connection.

It's an Alpha version, this will likely be looked at. My solution when I see the problem is to drop the maximum upload rate, so even with the overage it still stays in a reasonable range.

Though after I changed the port to 1723, the speed seemed to jump right up. I set bt.transp_disposition to 15 and changed the settings to enable DHT, Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange and changed the Encryption setting to Enabled and allowed legacy incoming connections; the speed slowed down within a few minutes. I changed the setting back to 10, disabled DHT, LPD and PEX, forced Encryption and disallowed legacy connections and the speeds increased once again.

The one thing I noticed and don't like about 1.9a is that it IGNORES my u/l limit and just u/l's my MAX.

If there's a dearth of uTP enabled hosts, speeds are gonna be slower. And not to put too fine a point on it, but if it's non-throttling hours, I seriously doubt you're being throttled.

This works for me. YMMV.

That's what I found. I had the Beat 1.9 setup as listed above to only use UTP ports. I didn't evade the throttle for me and my download list was maxing at 30-40kbps off throttle time. When I removed the *10 setting my downloads shot up to 100-200kbps. They are for old TV shows and low number of seeds so I need all I can get.

anon : Downloaded from link installed and set exactly as your pics said and also worked perfect for me went from 30k to 452K and rising in less then 5 min.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I've done everything that dbsanfte wrote in his screenshot steps and yes, it does work. I'm now getting 400+ kB/s. I followed everything from getting the new uTorrent 1.9 alpha, changing all the numbers around, and setting any true/false as need be. Works like a charm so a big thanks to you.

Ditto - did *everything* shown in the screenies. Works.

David_T : Is disabling DHT a must to get this to work, or did you just happen to do it for personal preference?

anon : I tried these settings and for the morning my dl's were just sailing along. 4:30pm hit and it was back to crappy usual at 55kb/s. Didn't work for me. If anyone else had some luck with this let us know please!

Arbalister : Just tried it here, after watching a transfer that wouldn't get above 28K for about 20 minutes. Downloaded, installed, started 1.9a, same speed...changed the config, hit apply...and the same torrent is now running 150K and climbing.

Edit Oh...just noticed, after the restart changing from 1.8.3 to 1.9a, a second torrent that I had paused earlier in the session restarted...so I've gone from one download at no more then 28K to 2 running simultaneously at 150k and 90K

chronoss2009 : wonder what happens when you make DPI box think your torrenting is a SFTP session

hrmmmm

dbsanfte : 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.

oxymoron69 : 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.

MikeA1972 : Depends on your location and has nothing to do with new UT.. You either are, or are not. Personally, I am not 99% of the time. But when they kick it in, no ports in the world will get around it.

BTW.. if you ever figure out a way that is not already well known, keep it to yourself.. don't advertise it. ;)

Evading throttling with uTP / uTorrent 1.9a

dbsanfte : It's strange that a lot of people don't seem to have success with this, because in my experience, forcing uTP in uTorrent with this particular configuration beats the Bell throttle consistently.

So, walkthrough.

You'll need the uTorrent 1.9 alpha, this is a link to the March 24th build: »download.utorrent.com/beta/utorr···.upx.exe

Once you've gotten that, you'll need to do the following.

Set the bittorrent configuration options as you see here in these screenshots.

In the advanced settings, you'll need to force bt.transp_disposition to 10, in order to force uTorrent only to use the uTP UDP protocol.

Note that the specific port setting is important in my experience.

If MLPPP isn't an option for you, this should get you unthrottled reasonably well. Results in the last screenie at 12am during throttling hours, after about 25mins of solid downloading.

config 1
config 2
config 3
results after 25mins during throttling hours
