Once TM gets super high speed internet going (100mb per account) they r not gonna give 2 sh!ts about p2p. Just like when broadband came about n they have tons of bandwidth. Since, they r now short on it they r tight ass about it.

Wow... the fact that tmnet has to honour us with at least 70% bandwidth we paid for n not 20% n we got other ppl b****ing that we suck up the bandwidth... instead ask tm where the hell is ur 70% not blame ppl actually eat the whole cake that they pay unlike others that eat only a few slices n throw the rest away.

Like I said fight for ur paid service... even at my 80kb/s i can still access my email accounts easily. Its either u got a bad, ur modem has closed all its ports (basically starting to hang) or tm has given u a bum deal. Go blame them for ur bad service.

N btw google, yahoo n msn have local servers for our emails so there is reason u cant connect to them unless u r suffering from one of the faults mention above.

eltaria, well i follow Gigaom even watch his podcasts (streaming video which apparently contributes to the large majority of internet traffic) n i believe he says it quit well - http://gigaom.com/2008/04/22/shocking-new-...roadband-usage/ is please dont point fingers at torrenters that we r at major fault here.

Since TM is follow comcast throttling methods the next strategy from them is to throttle users their use max bandwidth for a certain time to 70% of their maximum bandwidth. The amount of time we r stuck at that speed shouldnt be more than an hr then we can hop back to full speed.

Frankly, that is the easiest method, screw packet inspection, etc. N they can easly filter private accounts from business account (which really need their full bandwidth 24/7). With all the money saved on packet sniffing routers they can spend on more worthwhile expenditure like strengthening the internet backbone here.

uTorrent 1.9 is such a crap client!!! Now I cant surf the web n all my HDDs r full!!!!

Dont know. i find deluge very unstable that i quit it come time back (windows version). I hate restarting deluge to have it rehash all my files (5gb average size n 10-20 files at that).

So its back to utorrent for me.

Ahh i cannot surf the net, I cannont surf the net!!!

Hahah from what i hear... they just set a jumper.... i once found the set of keys to the tmnet hub but being the nice guy i put them on the tm van so they can find them.... should have done something else...

Unless u miss 1 month on ur streamyx... then they cap ur bt to 30k/s

Remember how swarms work. The best speed is from a swarm of 30% seeders. Remember if a torrent that has 50 seeders n 150 leechers is considered better than a torrent that has 1500 seeders n 6000 leechers.

cain, dont advistise ur bad habits.... it only takes 1 guy to ask for a special number n u be getting an email from u know what.

Pick up speed is slower to avoid throttling... plus any router issues with nat tables especially if u misconfig or ur router is dying slowly.

No probs for me.

Packet loss causes the speed to drop... thank streamyx for their all their good work

Usually its averages 280kb/s for me now after i complained but the speed is not consistant. Climbing very then dropping once in a while to 140kb/s.

Highest speed i manage to hit in screenie.

CompChilD, i'll pm u in sometime later today ok?

Shit just occurred to me....

utorrent will now throttle us to keep the QOS of the ISP network. In otherwords unlike the older utorrent clients it will not brute force high speeds or try to when the net is conjested. Instead it will throttle our speed in an attempt to ease net conjestion (even if it is not due to p2p traffic). So if some ahole is DOSing a pc on the network sending us the torrent file utorrent will detect the lag n throttle our speed to the client sending us the file instead of allowing that client to spend the file at the fastest speed possible.

Let's put it in the sense here... cuz tm oversold their bandwidth during the day utorrent will throttle us cuz of the lag n not try to get the best speed of us. It will get the best speed for the network.

What u guys think of that?

U really wanna know why? Cuz of the new net traffic sense they put in utorrent. If tm adds the end code in ur packets n the uploader's packets it looks like the net is congested. Utorrent then throttles itself. So when ur p2p packets reach a certain quota for peak hrs or whatever restriction tm injects code, utorrent takes that as net congestion n throttles itself = u getting slow bt. TM laughs all the way.

Dont have that prob...
