Can someone who is using BSNL confirm the correctness of BSNL's billing system? Do they goof up for the usage or something like that? Also, do these guys count upload figures? what is the upload speed like for those who have been upgraded to 2mbps?

Yes BSNL and MTNL dont allow torrents but anyone who is in the know can use any open port to use torrents.Be it any isp they cant completely ban torrents.

So for those who have this plan get set and go for your torrents at night

Please do leave your comments if you have any.

But the problem is that Indian users dont know the trick to use torrents in such isps that does not allow torrents but if used it is against their law.

people learn..

hi ppl,

plz tel me how to d/l torrents usin open ports in a bsnl connection? is it possible or has bsnl completely banned torrents?

You can download the torrent via bsnl line. I have 256 unlimited line and i download nearly 50Gb most of the stuffs are from torrent. All you have to do is open a port in your modem and assign the port number in you torrent client.

Admin:Can someone who is using BSNL confirm the correctness of BSNL's billing system?Do they goof up for the usage or something like that?
Ans:There billing system is accurate enough, its just da problem of syncing with there time server which results in heavy payoffs

Admin: Also, do these guys count upload figures? what is the upload speed like for those who have been upgraded to 2mbps?
Ans: yes, the upload figures are also counted. The upload speed is around 60kBps.. good enuf for adsl

Port Blocking
There is port blocking but sometimes you don't experience it. Let me tell why.
Some new versions(Azureous in my case) automatically configure the ports if there is port blocking, as companies making these clients are also aware of port blocking.
Some times its also possible that the same client is not able to configure itself in that case we have to manually do the settings.

can anyone confirm from chennai if this plan is available, when i contacted the bsnl off they said no such plans exist
