If XP says the file is still running, open your task manager and kill the process manually. If you don't have any other java apps running, you'll see the process as "java.exe"

Dunno yet, must give it some time. But so far, I'm getting *acceptable* speeds.

I'm more worried abt keeping a good ratio.

Edit: I'm having problems getting a good connection with my favorite tracker. Looks like this proxy doesn't work with that, so it's a no-show for me.

thanks for sharing..seems to able to connect some of the tracker

bitcomet 0.70 + paw = no dough?

firefox + paw = running well

Sounds interesting... perhaps connection to international peers are also throttled through user agents?

I will give this a try.



Aaaahh... gotta feed my crave for anime....


EDIT:It does work, I can connect to the tracker now.... but of course., not the international peers, the usual connection closed. Btw, I'm getting rapid request for connection lol.

I hope someone could dig up this ancient technology a lot more, and find a way to break free of the destiny tmnet's put upon us.

Anyway, in easier words, I hope this might fix the throttling.

It works!

My torrent just died 2 days ago, around the same time Azureus updated. So I thought it was something wrong with the update.

Now finally this makes sense.

First, TM throttled our bandwidth.
Now, they block connections to trackers completely.

This at least gets rid of the new problem.

Somehow, must applaud TM for thinking of multiple approaches to stop us bandwidth abusers.

i wonder y it doesn't work wit bitcomet....utorrent is working

HEYYYYYYYYYYYY.... IT WORKS THANK YOU

I am using BitLord btw.

Ooooh btw, I think the reason why I can't connect to most of the peers is due to the international link. I used to be able to atleast connect to 1 or 2, and suffer 13 kB/s or less.

Ratatosk, we, bandwidth abusers?

We are simply taking full advantage of what was given to us .

The dumbshit ISP should have done the pay per GB thing right from the start.

Instead, they think its their god-given right to impose terms as they like, and change it randomly to suit their purposes. And that we shouldn't whine when they give us the shaft. Those retards can't even bill us correctly for what is essentially a monopolistic service.

I think its a good idea to pay-per-use. On one hand, we DL people pay more, but on the other, we pay nothing when there are Earthquakes, Floods (forgive me, my friends in affected areas) and Incompetence. From our ISP lah. Dun believe all their crap about blaming God. God is probably gonna punish their candy-asses for all that corruption and blame they heap upon HIM.

Ah, back to topic. Sorry ah!

However, pay-per-use also means that I want super-fast speeds. Something like 10-f***ing-mbps or more. If I am going to be paying, I don't want to be waiting around for the files to DL. Call it arrogance, whatever. I want my goddamn files to be on my PC, chop-chop and I dont have time to piss around waiting for them to DL.

I also think that we should start DL user groups. If I am paying through my ass for the latest CSI season from US, then I would be very interested in splitting the bill with other people who want that too. Why enrich your ISP?

The alternative is for us to band together and get our own pipe. I would be interested in sharing costs if it were possible to set up a proxy. (PM if you have a good alternative with a fair price.)

The way this is going, in the end, we might as well just buy DVDs, Rip+Burn and then take file-sharing back to the days before broadband = Manual Labour lah!

So much for our f***ing Super Corridor thing. We didn't

a) build any good infrastructure
b) develop any serious world-beating technology
c) develop much useful content

(sorry about the profanity, but it seems to be the best way to enunciate one's feelings.)

HEY IT WORKS!!!

Thanks silverhawk!

Although I already get fast connection (20~25kB/s), with this,
manage to increase (maximize) the speed to 30~35kB/s.

BUT IM STILL THROTTLED! 40% of my original 1Mb ScreamyX.



Now the speed constantly around 30~35kB/s! yeah!

Using bitcomet 0.81 and it's still doesn't make any difference . my average speed is still less than 5kb
Is it something wrong with bitcomet?
Maybe I should try another client.

Ummm no, with the speed they're giving out, it doesn't even matter if it is bandwidth limited or not.


Btw, threadstarter, do you know how to activate https, socks 4, socks 5, ftp, etc protocol on this program? I tried accessing addons.mozilla.org, it said not found, because it uses https.

Perhaps the connection to peers are also throttled based on user-agent, reason, plenty of peer connection reset etc etc etc even when on proxy.

I plan to, when I get older(call me crazy, but I'm gonna do it no matter what).

woohoo thanks good stuff

Silverhawk, you mentioned something about activating the StartServer and then leaving the window open. My window goes away by itself and my speeds are pathetic. Am I doing something wrong?

(I have javaw.exe running in the background and PAW says that my server is running fine.) However, my utorrents have mostly gone Blue colour icons since using your method. Is it just my torrents?

Hmm the window should be there, but yes, the speed will still be crap, though you can finally connect to trackers.

Waiting for someone who can make the proxy server turn into a https, socks4, socks5 compatible server hehehe(and this might fix the problem).

You said the server is running fine is it? Maybe it is all right for the window to go away then .

Thanks, but my speeds are at 5kB whereas others claim 30kB so I was wondering if I did something wrong. If it means anything, sometimes connections to the US and elsewhere work at low speeds of below 5kB.

I didn't think that TM would turn a blind eye to this for very long. Now its just a matter of waiting for the next development to beat whatever restrictions they have imposed.

thanks.!

but BItspirit also got this fuction.

how to make it works on emule? it say fatal connection when i try to connect to a server.

It seems to work for my UTorrent. While shame about the speed at least the torrent looks healthy now. Thanks Silverhawk!
