[Connectivity] Comcast throttling?

Apparently Comcast has recently started throttling eMule/eDonkey/Kad upload connections. When uploaders try to connect to a client, it instantly issues a 10053 error, disconnecting them. As eMule relies on a credit system, this means all a Comcast user can do is leech.

As I don't use eMule much (only for very rare files and the like), it doens't bother me *too* much, but it still is annoying. Even with various modifications designed to bypass ISP throttling, it still doesn't work.

I would strongly recommend to anyone choosing ISPs who uses eMule to choose another company instead.

Do you have any sort of proof?

See this thread for some other people with the same problem, who concluded it was a problem with Comcast: »forum.emule-project.net/index.ph···p=790482

That's certainly interesting, however that doesn't prove that Comcast is throttling it (or at least on purpose). You would need to have more technical information / locations in order to gain any useful correlation.

Throttling doesn't cause 10053 disconnects.

Check the Rogers Cable forum to find out what the affect of ISP throttling is; Rogers is known to throttle their customers.

There are other, older threads, as well. Start by checking your AV software.

Hehe, I knew NormanS See Profile would post an excellent reply. I personally don't use emule / torrents that often if ever really.

Normans: according to information from those same eMule forums, Cablevision throttles their customers (and creates 10053 errors) by sending fake disconnect packets to uploaders.

I suggest you check out »www.filesharingweb.de/mediaWiki/···:Bad_isp

There are a number of providers that throttle their customers in a manner that creates 10053 errors. Its not really "throttling": it completely cuts off the connection rather than just slowing it down.

That is not throttling. Forcing a disconnect is not slowing the connection down, it is breaking the connections altogether.

I am having this same problem now in Portland, Oregon. It just started in the last few days. Looks like this is propogating across all of comcast. What a bummer... comcast or qwest. Why can't Verizon be Portland's phone carrier?

Which router are you using?

A D-Link DI-524. Its worked flawlessly up until this started a few weeks to months ago.

Have you tried taking the router out of the loop while running emule to see if it is now causing problems?

I have a D-Link DGL-4300 and have the same problem. Tried all suggested steps...same result

Sounds like a D-Link Problem then since only people with D-Links are having it.

But seriously, what suggested steps did you take?

Yes. But I doubt that Comcast is doing it.
