1 edit | Teksavvy's throttling now? Just a vent, nothing is needed. Recently, my BT download is limited to 30k. No matter if I am opening 1 torrent or 10 torrents at a time, the total download had never go over 30k. Before I decided to change to Teksavvy from Bell, I was able to do 50k with Bell's throttle. I heart everybody saying how Teksavvy won't throttle your P2P bandwidth and stuff. It work great for me at the beginning, but I think that is all history now.
P.S. I had been doing BT 24/7 for a few years now. I know my setting and there is nothing wrong with them. |

| Have you checked your line stats? Perhaps Bell lowered your profile. What are your speed tests? |

We are not throttling anything and as far as I am aware will never throttle anyone. We don't believe in it. There is most likely an issue with your line or your hardware. If you'd like for us to check out either please feel free to post your username over in the direct forum.

I've never done BT. So I am no expert in this. But is it possible that the change is at the remote ends where the servers are overloaded and you can't get the same throughput as before ?
If you choose different torrent feeds, does the 30kbps limit still apply ? |

FYI. I am away from the remote (as far as all other tech guy told me), so I know my connection will be slow. I was able to do 100k-110k max BT downloading when I first join TSI (And before Bell start throttling), I am happy already, but now just keep steady at 30k. |

if you have a green glow over tsidirect
it is advisable not to post any personal information such as name, address, dsl user name in the regular teksavvy forum as any user can see it.
also make sure not to do that for your title in teksavvy direct as again anyone can see the titles.
good luck  |

Doesn't matter, if he's using his Sympatico login.
If the best speeds he ever got were under a megabit per second, he's on a really marginal line. He'd be syncing at 1-1.1 megabits per second (perhaps a 1.2mbit profile that couldn't quite sync at full speed).
It wouldn't take much of a change in line stats to require a drop from 1.2mbit to 384kbit for downstream sync rate. |

Downloaded torrents yesterday and hit my maxium speed limit all the time. No throttling.
I'd check the following in order before jumping to throttling conclusion.
1. Router config (Port redirected)
2. Torrent client configuration (don't leave too many connection opened, otherwise the router my freeze/jam)
3. The torrent you're actually downloading dosen't have much seeds/tracker not responding/relying only on DHT with unpopular torrent.
4. Connection issue. |

kudos:20 | I downloaded torrents yesterday too. I hit a max speed of 10.5 MB/s.
Of course, I was at a LAN party with a dedicated 150mbit fibre link just for the event... :P |

Remember when Bell first start throttling and most people say there is no such thing happening? Calling people lier? Posting stat to show off how good the downloading is? |

1 edit | Teksavvy's throttling now? I don't know how many times I've seen posts by Rocky and Rick assuring their subscriber's that TekSavvy does not throttle, and that, TekSavvy does not believe in throttling, and, yet, the message still isn't across that TekSavvy does not throttle. Wake up and smell the coffee, people, or we'll throw you all into the darkness for one hour on March 29 between the hours of 8-9 p.m. for Earth Hour to think about it.    |

Kitchener, ON | AFAIK Bell doesn't have the technology to throttle like that. Instead what is possible if all downloads are going slow (not just torrents) then it's possible that Bell's network is saturated in the op's area... that wouldn't be anything that hasn't happened before. |
