NEWSFLASH
TMNet has recently installed hardware that is able to control P2P via deep packet inspection of the traffic passing through its network. These devices are able to detect and limit / throttle P2P data transmission - including encrypted torrents

The application of this P2P shaping is being carried out on a rolling basis across all Streamyx users in Malaysia, and results in severe speed degradation for bit torrent users and most other P2P protocols.

As a result, many Streamyx customers are experiencing difficulty in using bit torrent - an internet protocol that is both a legitimate and highly effective means of data transfer

You may have luck bypassing TMNet's throttle with one of the following methods:

VPN / SOCKS Proxy
Use a free or paid VPN service (e.g. SecureIX, Relakks). Forum member 'virtual' is currently offering VPN service as well

Edonkey
Some users have reported good speeds with protocol obfuscation encryption enabled in Emule 0.47c

Newsgroups
Not free, but you will get good speeds with reliable news providers

Torrentflux
Setup an offshore torrentflux box and FTP your files into Malaysia. Shared boxes are available from several forum members

Tuotu
Not particularly well coded, but this Chinese BT client seems to bypass the shaping hardware

Rapidshare
Rapidshare and similar sites have a lot of popular downloads available

i have some ideas but i am not going to post it here because there are plenty of tmnut spies in this forum.

all gather up in 1 forum/website

grab the torrent from there

enjoy the speed from local seed/peers

no other to help ourselves

I second that

Wouldn't the local seeders need to get the file from internationally located peers/seeders ?

the idea is to get those files outside to populate local seeds for faster distribution.

i think you pretty much covered it. other ideas are probably too exotic to actually work

Would anyone in Msia actually download the anime raws that I'm getting?

LOL.

VPN,ssh tunnel,http-tunnel, hopster will work just fine... but all this need money coz we using their bandwith n people cant give that for free.

Modding torrent client to give upload priority to local IPs is also a good idea, that way we dont have to mess ourselves having the local torrent tracker getting busted by copyright enforcers.

someone faster come up solution and teach me step by step how to do it,

torrent throttling = end of the world for me,

so many TV shows, but cant even get 1,

You're not the only one affected.

Terrible headache whether to continue to leave my computer switched on as usual to download stuff.

Slowdown affecting me, even past midnight. Imagine idling around 30kb/s when downloading, darn slow. Using 1mBit line.

I wonder, if i downgrade to 512kBit line, would my speed be sliced into half ? Like currently 30kb/s become 15kb/s ?

oh man, 30kbps oredi DAMN fast to me,

my speed now 24 hours hover around 10-20kbps, daytime even worse, single digit, 1 episode show maybe need leave computer on 1 whole nite to finish the download,

sikit sikit jadi bukit mah
many ppl grab from the international seed
then distribute back to local peer

If this idea is succesfull, those popular files from torrent we will get full speeds just like what is happening in Hong Kong. That is the way they get high speed downloads as they distribute it among the local users.

yeah, faster start do wat needs to be done, spread the news...

educate noobs like me, then we can get back nice download speed,

if anything can be done to bypass this throttling or control, count me in.

a private malaysian tracker would be nice for some stuff.

If there is someone willing to start a tracker for us local users that would be great. Hopefully there is.

wat requirement needed to start a tracker ? wat is the process?

haha me too not sure about this, never did it before, mebe someone who has can enlighten us? hehe.
