It is NOT temporary. It is permanent. TMNet will never stop throttling p2p now that they have started. Why should they stop cos now they are making more money.

Theres nothing wrong with your BitComet or uTorrent. The problem is TMNet playing the fool with your connection. Setting and re-setting your port. Nothing you can do about it.

proximotron and paw is NOT to enable you to get higher speeds. It is to enable you to connect to the tracker. The only thing that can get you more speed is call up TMNet and say you want subscribe to lease line. That will get you more speed but it costs about RM$10,000/month.

The reason you are getting speeds of 0kbp is because you are getting international peers for the file you wanna d/l. Try to d/l a file with lots of local peers to test you connection. You will get very high speeds.

NOT the ports on your modem!
PORT=DSLAM
Why cant you understand that there is nothing wrong with your PC/modem and there is NOTHING you can do about 0 kB/sec downloads because TMNet is blocking your connection. If you are really not happy with this you can stop your Streamyx subscription and try other ISP's like TimeNet , Jaring etc. You can also consult a lawyer and see if you can sue TMNet for blocking your connection to International peers.

There is no way to connect to Int'l peers because TMNet is blocking the connections. If you can call up TMNet and persuade them to unblock your connection then you will be able to connect to int'l peers once again.

If you are doing port forwarding correctly then uncheck map uPnP port. It is not needed at all.

Are the seeders/peers you are seeing from overseas? If they are then you cant connect to them. TMNet is blocking ALL connections to overseas peers/seeders. If you want to know why then please call up TMNet for an explanation.

Yes, mytorrent.hopto.org is a local tracker. Some trackers dont allow DHT, especially those trackers that have banned BitComet. You said that you are not connected to any peers/seeders at all.....so does that mean that your d/l speed is 0 kB/sec? If you are trying to d/l a file that has no seeder then you wont be connected to any peers or seeders at all. Maybe you can try to request for someone to seed the file. Good luck.

All credit goes to silverhawk for sharing this 'workaround'. I only started to post in this thread because I noticed that many ppl are under the mistaken notion that this 'workaround' is some sort of 'magic bullet' that will increase the speed of downloads. Please read and re-read the following:
paws and/or proxomitron WILL NOT INCREASE THE SPEED OF YOUR BITTORRENT DOWNLOADS. It is to enable you to connect to the tracker. How fast or slow your download is, is entirely controlled by TMNet.
Having said that, paws and/or proxomitron definitely works and we all have to thank silverhawk for sharing this 'tip'.
