Not true. If I uploaded anything for more than 4-5 hours I would get capped right away. Infact, I was capped about 3 times. (They would cap by mac address, so I would turn in my modem for another one to elude it)

Caps were only for uploading at high speeds for long durations. OOL no longer caps (hasn't in a couple of years).

While running servers is still technically against the TOS, I highly doubt you'd show up on anybody's radar. Just keep the server simple and traffic to a minimum. Don't make some warez ftp. Personal stuff is fine.

If you want to be a little more in the clear, you can upgrade to OOL Boost (30Mb/5Mb). It specifically allows SMTP and HTTP servers (ports 25 and 80), while the TOS still prohibits running servers on any other ports.

Personally, I have Boost and run a variety of servers, all for personal use.

Boost's TOS permits servers only on ports 80 and 25 (HTTP & SMTP). This means we can't setup a tracker (well, not within the TOS for OOL anyways).

Maybe ooltech could shed some more light on this for us instead?

As I've said before, Glasnost is working on a test for this type of throttling.

Also, as Alcohol has found, changing the ports to lower ports (1000-1200) for incoming connections allows you to seed normally.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20610273 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 10:29:28 EDT Re: [OOL] [OOL] Does Optimum Online still regulate torrents? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20599559 said by JDCMAN:

He's the torrent expert, but I am sure I woud like to do this. The test files will be just that, and of course will be legal.

Another problem is schedule, on my end. This month is extremely busy, almost everyone (including Mom!) has their birthdays coming up in early June. I figure I'd want to do it afterwards.

I'd like to hear from Mxxcon as to how to set up a simple tracker. Infact, running a tracker from the OOL connection serves no useful purpose other than simplicity as we're interested in basically the transactions of the peers and seeds in the swarm.

Max? Any thoughts?

BTW using a third party torrent service makes good sense. I didn't know Imageshack had one. Will take a look- thanks for the heads up.

Speaking of Imageshack, I have many photos in RAW format which were taken by a pro-Paparazzi' friend, that he couldn't sell. They are copyrighted but he will without a doubt give us permission to use them as test files.

I would be up for a test of setting up a tracker [on my OOL line, obviously having only a few test files), and letting other OOL subscribers use it as a test say once a week for a few hours (on a schedule). The glasnost test in it's current form is fairly meaningless for us. I pass with flying colors yet i cannot seed. :)

It's something I'm upset about. I'm on a private tracker, and I can't keep my ratio up unless I go to a public tracker and repeatedly download large disc images (e.x. Debian DVDS) in the background so I can seed.

Now, granted, it could be worse. At least we can download. And, Cablevision didn't blindly throttle uploads, uploads in BT go through if downloading. I assume this is so peers share with you (because the BT protocol is designed to assist people who can upload and ignore peers who don't have outgoing open).

However, it's still something that Cablevision won't admit to or tell customers about. My node is sparsely populated (it's right next to my property, I have two cable feeds running into my house with signal strength through the roof), and my neighbors aren't heavy downloaders (excepting a one week period after a particularly bad storm, I've been getting my promised speeds, even on off network speed tests and FTP downloads) regardless of the time (3AM, 6PM, peak or off).

Can any OOL staff shed some light on this for us?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20572350 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 10:53:03 EDT Re: [OOL] [OOL] Does Optimum Online still regulate torrents? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20570309 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20570309 Sat, 31 May 2008 19:08:00 EDT Re: [OOL] [OOL] Does Optimum Online still regulate torrents? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20570260

So I simply limit my downstream rate. While downloading, I have no problem hitting my upstream max. I set torrents up for 200kB/s down, and 250kB/s up. Seems to be working well, and if I really need something downloaded quickly, I can always use this method later to even out my ratio.

The DL takes a little longer, but that really doesn't concern me as long as I'm rebuilding my ratio and won't be stuck at 0.1% anymore. :)

My OOL has been really good with speeds for the last month and doesn't drop under 26 mb in the day and night its 33 mb. I'll probably go back to 15/2 since the free month of Boost is up again and I want to see if the 15/2 got any better because I think they did something to my node as I couldn't get good speed in the day about a month ago.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20552787 Wed, 28 May 2008 15:29:43 EDT Re: [OOL] [OOL] Does Optimum Online still regulate torrents? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-OOL-Does-Optimum-Online-still-regulate-torrents-20552614 said by Lex Luthor:

I've tried all the combination of encryption options and three different clients. uTorrent 1.6, uTorrent 1.8 latest beta, and Az 2.5. In all I increased half open connection allowed, set 'lazy bit-field' to enabled, however, with little positive results.
Have you tried the latest uTorrent 1.8 beta with Outgoing Encryption set to FORCED? You should still be able to check allow incoming legacy connections. That seems to be the best combination for me.

I've noticed days where I'm not able to seed, but recently, it's been very good.

Maybe it's something triggered by node capacity, time of day or something like that.
Lex, I tried "enabled" with legacy connections allowed, enabled with legacy disallowed, forced with legacy allowed, forced with legacy disallowed.. Same results. Peers connected, usually with encryption, sometimes outgoing, sometimes incoming, and would start at like 3kbps, then slowly go below 1kbps, .5, and disconnect.

Thanks for your help. Maybe it's some sort of bot which looks for node saturation and kicks in the P2P disruption.

Dunno.. I do use IRC quite a lot, and never have a problem reaching my max if the user's able to receive that fast.

I don't expect seeding at 500kB, I wouldn,t but I should be able to send at say 50-100kB/s without a problem.. And it's obvious my node is saturated. I get 1-4mbps during prime time with normal OOL, which is why I switched back to Boost. Even 12-15mbps, 1/2-1/3rd of advertised is way better during prime time than normal OOL in this 23 story apt house.

Who knows :)
