Now its a well known fact that ISP like Airtel,BSNL etc are throttling Bittorrent traffic.


Right now i am downloading a U.Me.Aur.Hum.2008.1CD.Pre-DVDRip.XviD.Subs.xDR
90seeds and 5leachers.
Availability: 62.993
Seeder to leacher ratio:18


so i am sure i can get max of it but i only get around 193kBps.
whereas in http download i easily reach 217kBp to 222kBps.
so i am not getting my full speed here.
i also have Encryption enabled.


ISP: BSNL Broadband
Plan: Home 500
Client: Deluge 0.5.8.9
Os: Ubuntu 8.04

So What to do about throttling by an ISP?

dude i have also these plan and i get nearly230 kbps

I don't think that ur ISP is throttling ..... I am using Airtel with no problems.
Also there is no specific news of BSNL throttling bittorrent data.

- Goto and post a screen shot.
- Are your ports forwarded ?? are u connectable ??
- Do u employ any kind of IP banner/filter .
- Do u get similar speeds for all sorts of torrents ... i mean from different places.

* Yes, ports are forwarded.
* No IP banner/filter employed
* Yeah, my speeds in bittorrent are always lower than HTTP


Source - http://torrentfreak.com//images/vuze...in-results.pdf
All the major Indian ISPs - BSNL, VSNL, Reliance, Airtel are in that list.

Well, Torrentfreak is a renowned site but i highly doubt the authenticity of the survey u showed ....
Many of my frnds(including me) are using BSNL,MTNL,Airtel ... there were no cases of throtlling.

wasie, u can try the steps provided here .....
Tracker Status Offline (Timed Out) - Read This

these are good and close to optimum settings ....


Waise, tell me 1 thing ..... if ur ISP is Throtlling the y are they limiting ur connection from 222kbps to 193 kbps .... y not less .... or y not a total ban

The survey is done why Azureus, which again is very popular client.
they have given a detailed account how they collected data.


How you are so sure about it?


ps: this site loads very slow here

- YH... i read all their coomments, articles, letters to ISP's etc etc .... but no where they have specified that the data they are showing is 100% correct ...
about your question ... i already answered it in my previous post ..... many of my frndz (including me) have been using Airtel, BSNL, MTNL for a long time ..... and there are no signs of throttling for any 1 of us ..... i confirmmed this with all of 'em.

-Also no India ISP has been mentioned here - and yh ...
Read everything mentioned here.
Also u still haven't posted ur speedtest result and u haven't tried what i suggested you above.

Also check the below link to check whether ur ISP is throttling or not .....
^^ This is still NOT perfect ..... i just found it and thot of shring it with you.
So its results are not 100% dependable.

Waise bhi, if u think that ur ISP is throttling then change ur ISP .....

PS : all tehse are just something i found .... you are alwayz welcomed to question these.

Most ISP's throttle at between 4pm and 10pm here in the UK.

Try getting cable connection, always get up 900 kb/s depending on seeders.

HTTP I always get 1150 KB/s anytime.

I am on Be Unlimited, contention ration of 1:1.

Hey gary4gar

Have considered how Many connections you connecting to?
ie: ISP download is good because you are only connecting to 1 BIG PIPE.

Bit is not good, because you are connecting to many small Pipes.
ok...

Now ask yourself.....How Many Pipes, can you computer connect to at once?
I bet 10.

Look up Half open TCPIP Connections and edit you TCPIP.sys
and try this: Increase Your U-Torrent Download Dl/Ul Speed Maxed

Take Care

Opps....before writing the above...I did not notice you stated Ubunto...
Ok, so how many connections does ubunto allow?
I am at a lose at the moment, if this does give you a new avenue to explore, please let me know.
