Re: Comcast disconnects for using P2P

said by FiL See Profile :

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.

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

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.
