Re: Comcast disconnects for using P2P
Thanks crypto7ogic.
I am a newbie to the p2p area.
I am trying azureus now with the recommended settings (a little less actually to play it safe) and I am getting pretty good download speeds of about 250 kb/s without the router crashing.
Thanks everybody for your replies, this is a very helpful forum. Looks like a lot of very knowledgeable people are around. |

said by peerimpact  :... If it is using protocol encryption? ... ISPs tend not block any p2p traffic but they might shape the traffic if they identify specific p2p traffic on the network. Exactly... and if it's really encrypted (end-to-end) the ISP would not even know that it is p2p traffic, as opposed to HTTPS, IPSec, SSL, etc.
newtodsl123 try using Azureus (»azureus.sourceforge.net/) and turning RC4 encryption on (Options -> Connection -> Transport Encryption). They even have an "Avoid Traffic Shaping" wiki: »www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Av···_shaping
And finally see their recommended settings -- a really helpful table: »www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Good_settings |

said by FiL :never in my downloading life have I EVER hit my lines potential, let alone say 2 megs. 6 meg connection here. I gaurantee they are throttling p2p apps. Soon as I go over to my brothers house, start up Azureus, VERIZON's speeds climb to 500kb- 2 megs during DL's. Mine on the other hand at home barely hit 100kb. No spyware/malware BS. My shits Fort Knox, nothings using my connection wihtout my OK (you get the drift). Ive been experiencing this for about 6 months. It's not the size (IE your full line) it's the amount of traffic that overwhelms the router. |

my belkin pre-n does suck at p2p. i ended up flashing it to the linksys firmware. as long as i don't open too many connections, it works much better.

I had to try three routers before landing on one that wouldn't choke. I have yet to hear of comcast monitoring the traffic on their network in any way that affects the end user. |

I have a DI624 that I was warned would constantly reboot and that it couldn't handle 4mbps or higher... Riiiiight!
Has never rebooted, and I get a wee bit more than 4mbps through it!

said by PolarBear :said by cwagner17 :Every D-link router I have owned would reboot for no reason. Me too. I have an el-cheapo Belkin wireless router from Wal-Mart. Works 100x better than any D-Link. My D-Link DI-704 was rock solid. It ended up being replaced by a wireless router. Every Belkin router (or wifi card) I've tried has been nothing but trouble. (But I agree, newer DLINk routers have cause me nothing but trouble)
I've had the same basic problem as the OP with Road Runner lately, only it's the cable modem that reboots every few minutes when running Azureus. Haven't had much time to troubleshoot and since my DSL has sort of taken over as my primary connection, it hasn't been that big a deal. |

said by NormanS :You have some indeterminate cable modem, and a wireless modem? And a Sunrocket "Gizmo"? The only item you gave a specific identity to was the D-Link DI-102. But no information on how it all interconnected, or even which P2P application you are using. You need to learn how to properly formulate a problem statement, including properly identifying the models of the equipment, and how it is interconnected. Or did you just mean for this to be a rant? »www.sunrocket.com/support/equipment/gizmo/
It's called a damn Gizmo.

I also call BS. I have run p2p when on Comcast (before
we were switched over to TWC/RoadRunner), and I never
got disconnected while using p2p, nor did I have my
traffic throttled.
BT is one of more connection-intensive p2p apps out
there, and can easily overload network equipment, which
could make it look like they were disconnecting you.
But Comcast will pass on DMCA notices that they
receive from copyright holders, so watch what you
share - and BT is currently the main network that
their enforcers are trolling through looking for
infringement.
