1720 does nothing for me. Read about that on DSLReports a while back, didn't work, still doesn't work.

No, just the router. You can't open or close ports on a modem.

I didnt think so lol, just checking

in Yonge/Sheppard Area i get 400-500kb from rogers high-speed without changing nay ports,however on bathurst and steeles where torrent packets get filtered out its around 30kb max.

Sweet! thanks! i was looking for that port number!

One more thing to keep in mind is that your computer applications being run at the time of the torrents being used also plays a role in the download upload speeds.

For example if you are downloading a 50MB file from site A, uploading a 100MB file to site B and have your torrent client open with 3 torrents being seeded and 2 being downloaded then dont expect high speeds on your torrents. You also have to factor in the overall download / upload speed of your connection and also some factors of your computer. Like me if you have a computer thats more ghetoo than the ghetoo itself then all you can do is just pray and be happy with you do get lolz

My sister's house, I'm running Sympactio + Azureus w/o a router and I'm pushing 200k. Any help will do pls ... Thanks John PS. On Limewire & SoulSeek I can push upto 200Ks.

Your def. having a port forwarding issue on your computer. The router and possibly your computer being the culprit.

here in korea (the land of the internet) i get speeds of up to 1.5-2 megs/second.

yes that's right, MEGABYTES per second!! assah!!

steve.

I'm moving up to Rogers Extreme.. 3 megs Down and 1.5 megs up..

Actually, I think the Rogers top package gives you 6 Mbps download speeds and 1 Mbps upload.

The thing with torrent speeds is that it's not really fair to say you're getting higher speeds in some areas and lower in others, unless you have some type of controls in place. Mentioned before, everything you do voluntarily or involuntarily can affect your torrent download speed from other P2P apps using your available bandwidth to things like disk defragging and virus checkers using your hard drive's read/write capacity. Unless you have the same torrent, running on two different computers, with an identical setup, it's difficult to definitively say that it's the ISP that's capping you. Now, I am aware of Rogers implementing it in certain areas through forums and message boards, but I can't say I've personally seen it.

I have Rogers service and have switched over to 1720 on my client, which happens to be Bitcomet, and am getting upward to speeds of 800KBps. I was also receiving these speeds prior to changing the port as well. I can only assume my area is not affected by the caps. Bottom line people, test it out. Stop any miscellaneous services or programs, especially ones that use download or upload bandwidth (soulseek, limewire, etc), and try seeing what you can achieve for download speeds. Change the ports and repeat with the SAME torrent. It's not a 100% accurate, but it will give you a reasonable idea. Also note, that if you do not have the port open on your firewall for incoming traffic your speeds will suffer, and as well, if you severely limit your upload speed in the client, your speeds will see some decrease.

Also, people please note there is a difference between KB and Kb. KB means kilobytes, and Kb means kilobits. The capitalization does make a difference here. Clients will tend to differ in which measurement they use, but keep that in mind before you think someone is getting much higher or lower speeds than what you are getting. For example, if someone reports their torrent speed is 300 Kbps, but your client is reporting getting 37.5 KBps, it's actually the same speed. The math for those of your that care is 1 byte = 8 bits.

Probably because they are doing their traffic shaping using technology that employs deep packet inspection aka layer 7 classification and analysis. Changing tcp ports will do nothing as the packet will still be classified as bittorrent and deferred into their "bulk traffic" queue. I can't believe they would poke a hole in their system for VoIP traffic when the same system should be able to successfully classify and mark that traffic as well.

Even better. i've heard the bandwidth CAP is 100 gigs a month on the extreme service, CAN ANYONE VERIFY THIS?


Roger's documentation shows only a 60 gig cap..

Roger/Bell-less is good!

HA-HA points and laughs.

Ever since i moved to _just_ outside roger's customer area and went with ACI, I get speeds from 40KB/sec - 1200KB/sec (Yes that is Kilobytes or just over 1Meg/sec) from torrents and various other traffic.

Yes, it is 100 GB, actually it's like 102, but whatever...

Is ACI Aurora Cable? I wish I could get their service, they advertise 9 Mbps down speeds. Also, I think they offer way higher upload speeds, which interest me more.

And I suppose for the sake of clarity you should write it as 1 MBps, so as not to confuse it with the much less impressive 1 Mbps....

hehehe 100 gigs.. w00t... i eat 60 gigs up in two weeks.. yaaaaaaaaay

Yah, ACI = Aurora Cable. They were ranked within the top 5 of the fastest isps worldwide a few weeks ago on dlsreports.com.

The upload speeds are pretty good as well..In a recent transfer, I was getting ~100KB/s.

Agreed, 1MBps then :P

haha i know how you feel. Exact reason i didnt go with Rogers. My total upload and download is somewhere at 150gigs/month.

I use ACI as well... 9 Mbps screams at off-opeak hours, but peak hours are nothing compared to Rogers peak hours.

100-150 kbs upload is just fine... you don't want much more than that, as you don't want to slow anything on your PC much more anyways which bittorent is running minimized.

Costs me almost $60 inc. tax every month, so there is a price to pay. It's cheaper if you are a cable tv subscriber.
