I have tested toutu and it doesn't work. I am not sure why it works for you guys but I am skeptical at first. It only confirms my finding after trying toutu, azureus and utorrent for the past week.

Your torrent client should actually not affect your download because tmnet is blocking using traffic shaping. The only read your packets and analyse it to see if it is torrent content. The thing is, how do they know which is torrent and which is not? By looking for keywords like azureus or bitcomet in the header? I don't know, I can only guesstimate.

If that is the case, why would toutu work? Toutu is identified as bitcomet if I am right. It's doesn't identify itself as toutu. The reason why toutu works sometimes and doesn't at other times is because you are connected to a local peer. This smart tmnet is only applying traffic shaping for international links. Connection between local links are not controlled. This would lift the burden on their routers from overwork.

Also, toutu does not have protocol encryption (maybe have but I don't see the option) so it's much easier to block than utorrent, azureus and bitcomet. And yes, I think tmnet already know how to read those encrypted packets which make your encrypted torrents blocked as well.

I would say, between using toutu and protocol encryption, I would rather use encryption cause it's seems to work better for me albeit still slow. If everyone would change their encryption to "force" and don't connect to unencrypted people, maybe it will help to see if tmnet really is doing decryption on their traffic shaper. Anyway, I think majority of people using torrent is already enabling their encryption, so you don't lose out anything.

ahh..good this confirms some of my assumptions. Thanks.

use applocale to open and you will get full chinese text.

according to a utorrent site, it's because rabbit is using s_UDP which is said to be some protocol hard to implement but also have it's own set of problems. Hence the reason why the major torrent clients don't implement it.

well, how about you contact the developer of rabbit and help him do the translation instead? Wouldn't that be better? Since you know chinese or anyone else who can type chinese can get in touch with rabbit developer and help with the translation.
