Just you wait until your traffic is throttled.

I get 0kbps on EVERYTHING of that nature.

carriers design their networks around traditional traffic patterns. The amount of overbooking most large carriers do for residential connections is staggering.... file sharing programs have turned this traffic model on it's ear and is a real problem for them....

There will always be a huge debate about weather ISPs have the right to filter content on their network. "My network, My Decision" seems to prevail. Is it wrong for say google to offer a special "AOL only" version of something? Hmmmmm.....

Should we re-engineer backbones to expect infinate traffic from any point to any other point at all times? Not practical, and if they did Ineternt connections would cost thousands of dollars a month.... if you only spend $40ish dollars a month, it's unrealistic to expect 3-8 megs all the time....

I use bitcomet, not sure if encryption is enabled or not though. Still shitty speeds though.

same here, until i hit a user who uses bitcomet with encryption.

they spike up, if that user shuts their pc off, it drops down to nothing again.

here's where u will find the encryption, it's most likely on auto detect, best to switch it to always.

Looks as though the only solution is to use Bit Comet or wait for more programs to allow encryption for minor speed increases.

Better than nothing.

So, Bit Comet is the way to go then???

wow, i thought i was the only one with the problem. lately, my torrent speeds have been shit, not because there are less seeders, it just seems to hang. my normal speed is 350kb/s, now i get like 15-20, sometimes 0kb/s.

Bell is fucking slow as hell too. But I think it may be the modem...

I'm at 100kb/s now but it's not going any faster
