| [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) hi guys, as the port 1720 works for my bt downloading, i'm wondering there may have other options. and it's an ideal method to keep 1720 away from collaps. as i tested the following ports may not speed up ur bt client immediately, plz keep it open for 15+ mins.
here, i personally tested some ports that confirms steady and reasonable speed on BC 6.0.
1st, port 1755. original usage: rogers yahoo music streaming
2nd, port 587. original usage: yahoo suggested SMTP email service, in order to replace the blocked port 25.(usually lots of spams are sent via 25)
3rd, port 5100. original usage: yahoo messenger webcam services.
i only have time to test these 3 for now. i guess, as the rogers having partnership with yahoo, there will be more ports opened for their internet services. if u have any ports tested, plz reply. these might help hopefully.

| Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) 1720 only lets me connect to like 40 peers and only gives me a MAX of 170 (thats the highest i seen it peek at) and it averages at about 80kb/s... (this is all on extreme).
Any of those ports give me better then that? I'm delaying paying for a new subscription to newshosting.com (even though i know usenet is 100% better then bittorrent). | |

@dlink.ca | Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) I've seen max 600+ on extreme. In regards to upstream, I limit it to 70. If I don't limit it, my router reboots. | |

@72.57.x.x | i get under something like 1k/s, on 1720 or any listed port,
managed 60 megs in the last 24 hours.
but yeah, 80k sounds rough. | |

| Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) I tried 1720 and 1755,
1755 seems to get me up to 105kb/sec but only for a very short amount of time.
Since the richmond hill outage on sunday, my torrents have been slow as pewp. I usually got 50-100kb/sec on a widely seeded torrent, now i can't even keep 5kb/sec before it goes down to 0.
What's with this? Is rogers getting even lamer with its bandwidth?
I spent way too much time thinking this was a router problem, i should have known it was rogers. eugghhh...
any way around this? those ports only improve the speed temporarily but go down just as soon as they seem to be getting okay.
for $45/month you'd think we'd get a real ISP... ted the shit hed O_O | |

| Is changing the port to 1720 a good fix for Bittorrent capping? Here is my story:
I was having problems with it (I am on the rchrd (Richmond Road in Ottawa) phub) and I was seeing downloads drop to 0-1k and maybe climb to 17k for a couple seconds, rinse and repeat.
So, I called Rogers this morning and the person in technical support said that yes they are capping bittorrent due to it swamping their network. I can understand why they are doing it but I think as my area does not have an alternative (too far from the switch for Bell, Magma, Telus) the only option is Rogers. Thus the subnet I am on is probably saturated in general.
So since the main reason I use is for downloading TV shows (not movies or much software) I called back and decided to drop to 128K lite version.
The best part was that I asked the person when I dropped my package and she said "Oh it is illegal for us to provide that high of speed for residential" Don't know what crack she was on.
Anyways the point I was trying to make is does changing the port to 1720 really work? I was under the impression that they are filtering by the header not by the port. I was setting my port to 58880 but that also didn't increase the speed.
I followed up with an email to their support saying I have
dropped my package to lite and will be interested in upgrading again when either they relax the cap or when Sympatico is available in my area.
Always an option... | |

@cable.rogers | Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) Well I've just been pcubed by 3web aka Rogers. I know of the port 1720 trick but I'm using both emule + BT. Anyone know of any other ports that work as I want to run both at the same time. | |

| Hey, rikkards,
I also live in Ottawa, and am on the rchrd phub. We got a letter for excessive usage before the cap was instituted, but those were all seemingly hollow threats.
At first, for us, around November I'd say, Azureus started going REALLY slow, like 0-1k/s.
Port 1720 fixed this, but, since Jan. 1st, all my torrents are stuck on 0.
We called Rogers, and, at first, they denied anything about bittorrent throttling. Finally, we went to the cancellation department, and they transferred us to some really high up person in tech support (yeah right), and he acknowledged the throttling, and said there was nothing he could do.
We decided to cancel, even though we've been with Rogers forever, there was nothing we could do.
We now are looking for a new ISP to go with. You say that none of the DSL services would be good here? | |

Toronto, ON | Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) don't know if it's just me, but sometimes, I find downloading from different sites yeilds different speed regardless of the seeders/peers numbers. Can anyone confirm my finding or is it just a co-incidence? | |

| Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) Of course that will happen. Remember that the speed that you'll get will depend on the speed of the seeds that are feeding you ... and if they have lots of people downloading from them (for example if they're on cable or worse, throttled cable) then this is going to impact your speeds. | |

| Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) Oh ok.. so I'm actually downloading from a server somewhere? I was under the impression that it's a p2p thing and doesnt go through any servers.. Please enlighten me. For example the other day, I was downloading Disney Princess, it seemed that there were 2 sites but both had the identical number of peers/seeds.. so I thought somehow the sites are just sort of a connection for you to get to the peers/seeders.. Would love to know more. Thanks. | |

1 edit | Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested) Remember that with BitTorrent, you're actually downloading parts of files from assorted places called seeds ... at the same time, you're a seed for files that you're sharing.
Every seed "serves" a part of a file. P2P is really a client-server relationship ... but the "server" part is generally ignored by the ISPs who have No Servers rules.
For more info perhaps the Filesharing software forum would be more helpful. | |

| Allow me to add myself to the 1720 port army. I configured BitComet ti listen on 1720, my router as well, and suddenly I'm dloading multiple torrents totalling some 200 kb/s down and max set upload 40 k/s. Like everyone else, my torrents were crawling at a few kb/s before the switch.
Thanks for these other ports, I'll configure a second BT client to use with them.
Note that I'm also running BitComet with encryption on, but I doubt that's having a major impact. | |

| Well, not much luck with me either. It was good on the weekend but somehow after sunday, my speeds just plummeted. I was peaking 200kbps on saturday and now I'm in the slumps again with 1720 averaging about no more th an 20kbps at most. It spikes up then goes back down to 5kbps and under. Same thing happens with Bitcomet with the encryption always on.
This sucks, I swear to god.. I'm gonna switch over to Bell as soon as I can. | |

| just a question, since I am on a router like linksys do I have to forward the 1720 port in the router settings to get good speeds? The thing is every since I got this bitt slowdown like all of us I can't even get a green on azureus, and it passes the NAT test :S so weird. Since I am new to bitcomet which is what I use now I get the green arrow not sure if that is proper. | |
