Torrent Troubles

[Nick.]

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago downloading torrents worked, since then I have changed nothing and now it seems to flood my router, because I only get a speed of about 4-6kbps downloading and in my browser it loads proper slow, like 5 minutes a page, MSN disconnects too.

Can anyone give me some help? I don't know how to fix this :@:@

I use Transmission for OS X and sometimes uTorrent for OS X.

Thanks

Is the port open/close?

[Nick.]

I haven't changed the port since it worked, and as far as I'm aware it's open.

I use NAT/UPnP too..

Mind checking on utorrent please,

and doing a speed test on

speedtest.net

Without running any torrent program (normal for this time of night, usually get between 2000-2500)

It doesn't even run with a torrent program on, so I can't give you that.

No@Tom. @Rapidshare I'm with TalkTalk and use a Belkin Router, specifically the Belkin F5D7632-4 4001uk. Apparently TalkTalk block P2P between 9AM and 1AM and have done since May but it's always worked in evenings for me and stuff. This is so annoying :@

I have this problem too... have never found a fix though :/

Try enabling/forcing protocol encryption.

Try this, reply if you need help

Mine is port forwarded and it still does it.

[Nick.]

I forwarded the port, enabled encryption, still not working. This is so annoying...

If you havn't used your internet for anything that is illegal recently you should phone up Talk Talk and ask them whats going on, it sounds like they have limited your p2p.

you're using a mac!!

;)

[Recursion]

Fail right there. I already said it does it for me too, and im a PC user.

[DrLacero]

AOL throttles my torrenting port every 1-2 weeks, just change to a different port.

Funny actually cos it used to happen on my PC, and as you can see, Tom has this problem too... :8

Traffic management is normal, and within their TOS, If your constantly classed as abusing EG using USENET p2p or torrents you will get reduced speeds. He is using torrents not to transfer his favorite mspaint job, If he was to ring talk talk they would simply refer him to the TOS

Actually on my end its nothing to do with the ISP as all I have to do is reboot the router (which is a pain cus I have to go alllllllllllllllllllll the way down stairs, get a chair, stand on the chair and flick the mains switch for our network gear off then on.)

There will be a traffic manager somewhere, talktalk are known for it

[Recursion]

Not on TalkTalk.

Care to explain why two weeks ago I was getting my max speed in this area over a torrent between 7PM-10PM, peak time?

[Recursion]

I can get full speeds with everything but torrents, and my router "crashes", so its nothing to do with the ISP
