I used to be downloading at a total of about 30kb/s on Bit Torrent, Azureus is my client. In the past week, I heard that my ISP has done something with the ports and now my downloads are literally at 0kb/s and about ever 10 minutes I may see it at 1.5kb/s...
There are times when the download may go faster, but I am not getting a consistent rate and I am downloading a pathetic 18.5MB in 5 hours of uptime.
I have a 384k Broadband connection, my Azureus has a NAT problem, so I get the "yellow smileys" (doesn't really worry me much though). The ethernet cable runs from a split unit that is somewhere in this condominium straight into my computer, so there is no router in between.
Back to the problem, I only know my ISP has done something to a port, but I'm not sure which one. Many people that are on the same ISP i heard are also complaining about bit torrent running at horrible speeds.
HTTP downloads work well, but I can't be relying on that. So my question is...can anyone help me? Is there a solution to get my Bit Torrent up and running? There is only one ISP that I can get in this condominium (which sux big time because they're expensive and there are faster and cheaper connections).
I have heard about being able to fool your ISP if they try and inhibit ure torrents from running by playing around with the ports, but I don't really know how to do that. Please someone help, I seriously do not know what my ISP is doing. They are also not giving me many details!
