Your tests are baseless without screenshots of your PEERS LIST, Chartry. Enough of your speclutation, produce some real proof to back up your theory.

Mods. Have any of you personally tested this? You're all drawing a conclusion on one person's view? Chartry never picked out the good posts from the thread- he/she merely copy/pasted his/her own posts!

I believe TMNet is "shaping". Yes, "shaping", but it cannot be bypassed by using PE, since every single connection, regardless of what protocol, will be reduced to mediocre speeds (~5-10k) after the first ~30-40 seconds. This is DIFFERENT from the conventional traffic shaping some ISPs are doing.

Pictures are worth a thousand words.



The ones with "E" under flags are connected to me by encryption. And yet, they are not transferring more than 4.2k at most.

This test was done with a torrent on a private tracker, ScT, with dedicated seeders. I wasn't connected to any local IPs.

So I guess this pretty much proves my statement. Prove me wrong. I might be incorrect, but at least I have produced some sort of proof to back up my views.

I repeat myself: (This was posted by me in the original BT thread.)

Edit: I'm getting pretty strong/consistent speeds (~60k from one peer) from *.proxad.net (without PE), and IIRC "Joseph Hann" reported good speeds from an UCLA IP, too. So there are exceptions.
