everyone has problems with tmnet streamyx packet shaping. unless of course you use Boleh VPN. why pay for unthrottled torrent traffic? all it takes is a bit of extra time to set up.

this might not be for everyone. but amazingly enough Linux solves it. Deluge Torrent (www.deluge-torrent.org) can encrypt the FULL STREAM of traffic out of a bt client. which means tmnet cant read your packet headers. take that you bastards! deluge is only available on linux. i dont know any other torrent client which does this. if any windows one does this please let me know.

download any linux distro (i suggest ubuntu) and try it. i get 50kB/s Download and 25kB/s uploads. thank you and goodnight and good luck.

change is good


kind of. but i think this encrypts EVERYTHING. most importantly your traffic to your trackers


very true. but i use Linux now for just basic computer use. internet. music. movies. only time i change back to windows is to play warcraft3


as attached below. i did not change any of the default settings except the max global connections. default was 400. that was crazy!
blurred out what i was downloading (my privacy). notice all the peers im connected to. the top ones are NOT malaysian IPs. success!

any linux distro would do. im not one of those uber nerds who only choose one. but i sticking to Ubuntu cause its just too easy. Deluge has to be installed though. it doesnt come preinstalled with ubuntu but its easy to install.

+ below is also is a screenshot of my compiz -fusion 3d desktop which blows windows vista and mac OSx out of the water.

yes. i think it would be easier to get it set up on a desktop rather than on a laptop. but my install went without any problems

errr. i cant be fully certain. but when i swtiched on encryption in Azureus no difference was made. my download speed was the same. i have to confirm this.

i would love to. but actually im too lazy. Gimp is just crap to use (one of my few gripes about linux) .just take my word for it. everyone seems so dismissive. can you even connect properly to trackers during the day? how fast do your torrents go?
i actually download faster in the day since only a few other malaysians can connect their torrents, unlike at night.

ktorrent is unthrottled? oh well. will stick to deluge. i like gnome based apps running on gnome anyway. granted ktorrent has more features. but deluge is new and their developers seem to listen to users so thats good .i wonder why utorrent doesn't do this sort of encrypting? maybe cause its owned by Bittorrent INC which is controlled by the MPAA/RIAA
i dont have this problem. what version are you using? upgrade to 0.54 first. if the problem persist, post something on their forum. http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/

wubi seems pretty solid. it looks to simple im scared to try it. lol.but you are not running ubuntu in a virtual machine, you are running it natively. which you might not want to do

vmware player is free. but i dont know if it will do the job. this tutorial might be of help:

it would be nice if people made the switch. 2 reasons why i switch back to windows. 1)warcraft 2)photoshop/illustrator

the fact that im sitting at work and tunneling + vnc-ing to my ubuntu laptop just to manage my torrents is too good. its a bit slow. but thats maybe cause im uploading at 30kB/s

lol@ parsys. nice macosX(86) on your pc setup. does anything not work correctly?

"i pity the fools" (lol mr. t) that pay for VPN servers. free is good. i dont see why trackers would ban this client.

im glad to see that people are actually trying this. its also good to see people using open source software.

okay. basically you can set your port to whatever. just pick a random port. mines like 12879 (try not to pick the old default bittorrent ports 6881-6999) (BUT DONT CHECK THE "RANDOM PORTS" box also. Specify your own port). you dont need to set a port range. if you just want 1 port then put the same number for both entries. refer to my attachment. i use deluge 0.54 now even though the screenshot was from 0.53.
you have to then forward the ports on your router to let anything through effectively. i think its best to disable UPnP and NAT-pmp because it might screw with your router. and on your router itself disable UPnP as well. this means you have to forward all your ports for outgoing connections manually like for VPN or battlenet.
slow speeds....well, they are torrents. and it all depends on availability. speeds always vary since 200 people might have the same piece of the file but only one person might have another piece. just have to be patient i guess. and share thats how torrents work. i try to keep my ratio to at least 1.5

they cant packet shape what the packets they cant read. im pretty sure thats how it works

Added on August 10, 2007, 3:30 pmstep by step instructions for what? linux or deluge?
if you already have a common disto of linux all you have to do is download the deb or rpm file. run it and its there.
if you want step by step guides to install linux, there are tones of tutorials online. like i said before, i recommend ubuntu. the least painless of them all.

probably not. but then again, its hard to say. deluge is a pretty new program and there are some kinks. for example my Active Port was set to 0 a few times for some reason.
make sure both UDP and TCP ports are forwarded on your router. dont know about other touters but DLink can do this

i have NEVER had a problem connecting to trackers using deluge.

most common linux distros can read NTFS partitions now. if you want to WRITE to NTFS you have to install ntfs-3g. i feel the writing is a bit slow but it works like a charm.
if you want to read the ext2 file systems on windows, use this program. i havent tried it but it should solve your problem http://www.fs-driver.org/

download ntfs-3g. then you can write to ntfs file systems.


vm ware seems more trouble than its worth. but then again, i can understand people dont want to take the linux plunge. i believe things work better natively? each to his own

which linux distro and what is your soundcard?

the whole point of this thread was to inform people of a free way to get your torrent speeds up. i already pay for streamyx, why would i want to pay some guy for the simple job of setting up a VPN.

try playing around with the sound settings. i think i use ALSA. sorry.i cant be of much help
trouble shooting linux is not my strong suit. you should head over to ubuntuforums.org
