Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested)
I chose Azureus because of Java. Java is object oriented, which means the code is broken down into completely separate parts that can be reused or reconfigured. All the little pieces can easily be changed or upgraded in a much shorter time. The work is much easier to portion out to a team. Azureus will continue to be the most upgradeable with the best plug ins because it is Java based.
The high memory usage is actually there to prevent your hard drive from being ground away by constantly being accessed. I wish it used more, but my computer is pretty current. |

Tested on [Extreme] rogers, use uTorrent and 1720 with encyrption, hitting 300/KBs to 350KB/s and loving it. |

Azureus uses the same 2-15% CPU for me that it always has with it enabled. Others should enable it because it will help them too when trying to establish connections with a throttled user or blocked user. It can't hurt since CPU usage seems the same as 2.3 series of clients. Memory usage still sucks but to understand why people like me love this client, you have to use it awhile  |

The new clients will always accept encrypted requests but will not initiate them unless configured to do so. The rationale is that unthrottled users don't want to waste CPU cycles encrypting data for no reason. It could support both by default (via fallback) but that could slow down torrent ramp up time and just generally make things more complicated in the more common use case. An effort has been made, in Azureus anyways, to have the minimal impact on regular users while still helping out throttled users. |

someone tell me if this is right... if a person has azureus 2.4.0.0 or utorrent 1.4.1 beta and doesn't have encryption enabled but you have it enabled, you'll still be able to recieve encrypted data from them? other people dont have to have it enabled, right? just you, if you're being throttled, right? |

I checked them for demonstration purposes, (no need for this in Carp) these settings are greyed out if not checked, kinda easy to miss if you don't pay attention.

Thanks for the reply but for some reason I cant find the encrypted section. I go to tools-options-connections and I look for the enable encryption section but it does not show up. I try the intermediate and Advanced. Sorry if i'm missing something so simple. |

A detailed help page is linked right into the app. I encourage everyone to read it.

If 1720 was not good for you (ie. all ports throttled) then you're probably best off just enabling RC4 encryption with no fallback. If 1720 is good then also allow incoming fallback. A Shaw user claims that if he has any unencrypted sessions on the same port then things are bad for him so experiment. Things are quitely likely different even within one ISP's network.
»https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.ph···=3571715
This setting should allow you to:
1) Connect to anyone running AZ 2.4.0.0 (or uTorrent 1.4.1 beta).
2) Receive connections from anyone running AZ 2.4.0.0 (or uTorrent) who has enabled encryption.
You're limited in the actual numbers of compatible peers currently but Azureus users are getting auto-update messages now. Anyone that updates will increase #1. #2 will only increase if they enable encryption but most won't unless they know they are throttled.
As perfect as you're going to get for now. This scheme maintains full backward compatibility for non-throttled users and gives throttled users as much access as possible to the swarm without compromising that.
The next step by ISPs will have to be more intensive traffic flow analysis of all your connections in aggregate or to more vigorously enforce bit caps. |

Bitcomet works nice through proxies but not good for much else. I recommended it to a few for that but Rogers customers check out the new Azureus 2.4.0.0 and let me know how it does with Rogers. 2.4.0.0 is significant because it now supports full encryption BUT it only works with Azureus and utorrent clients that also have it enabled. It's disabled by default in options but since its free why don't you encourage all Rogers customers to get it and see if things improve. Another idea to make this help-post on your BT forums awareness that they should enable this with fallback option set on. If you can get a good number in your tracker to do this, it may work. Good luck guys! |

I do have same problem. I to the NAT check in tools says its ok but on the bottom still says I am firewalled. Even though I am getting better speeds than I did up to 70KB/s. I didn't have the 2 boxes checked though which I will try now. |

I think you probably are not allowing unencrypted incoming connections. If there are no successful incoming connections, Azureus will think you are firewalled.
Just because people are downloading v2.4 doesn't mean they are configuring encryption. Most people won't and don't need to. They will accept encrypted connections from you but will still only initiate normal connections. You should check the "allow unencrypted connections" boxes especially if port 1720 was working for you. |

here's a new wrinkle: azureus now informs me that i'm "Firewalled." i've been able to download torrents fine all this time, my port (1720) is open, it's being redirected properly and for some reason all of a sudden i can't connect at all. what gives? anyone else having this same problem? |

Hey guys I'm in the Steeles and Warden area and I have also been angered by Rogers actions. I was using Bitcomet with port 1720, was working well until about a week ago. I tried the latest beta of Utorrent the highest rate I got was 20kb/s, but it was not stable. HELp |
