Exclamation Top reasons for Torrents Being Slow on MTNL Broadband

What are the reasons mtnl does not allow torrents to work smooth on their triband network.

1) Mtnl is using Traffic shapers
( changing port for the torrent traffic wont help , the traffic shapers can detect the torrent traffic and trap them , regardless to the port they flow on , they are after the protocol not the port )

2) Upload limitation
( mtnl has an upload limitation on their triband line , this for sure doesnt let the torrent share ratio work well for uploads and downloads )


3) Going after the tracker
( mtnl is sniffing destination for most of the trackers and is restricting most of the traffic in conversation with these tracker. )


If one has noticed , whenever u change ur torrent client the speeds are good , but after a while they are dropped significantly because they come under the traffic shapers )

Solutions like packeteer for packet shaping maybe used for restricing such traffic.

Note when we download any file on the P2P network like lime wire we do get very fast speeds - reason to this is the absense of trackers which mtnl may not find for such downloads.

One more reason which has been noticed is the limitation in the number of connections made. MTNL triband on their network have restricted the number of connections limitation on their firewall . This is one reason torrent traffic is dropped very much
or
when torrents are being downloaded surfing is hit and page not displayed or time outs take place.


PLs do comment as i am working on making torrents work on the mtnl triband network.

Thanks

Just to let you know that i download torrents at 200+speeds

I download all aXXo movies and get average speed of 190+

And speed actually remains constant, whatever may be the time of the day.

So i have no problems.

And i have port forwarded my MTNL MT882 modem,that actually helps a lot.


And there is an option of encryption of traffic in utorrent.
Go to utorrent/options/preferences/BitTorrent/protocol encryption and click enabled.

That would be enough.

MTNL traffic shapers wont be able to detect torrent connections.
Hence you get good speeds.


PS- The above idea is solely mine and may not work for you

just wanted to say that there is no such problem of torrent throttling done by mtnl and i have always been getting really good speeds on them, in case you face too many problems, you may like to use the tor (torproject.org)Tor: anonymity online[/url]) network

you can use glasnost(broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest-mlab.php Test if your ISP is manipulating BitTorrent traffic[/url]) to test it, no throttling detected on my side.

i get an average speed of 160 kKBps even the torrent has 4-5 seeds and 70-80 peers..
it takes time to get that speed ,but once dere....its stable
and when seeds are 40-60 i get 200 KBps average...

and yes prtforwarding on the modem helps along with encrypting the torrent traffic.......

i surely would love to do so, but even then you have to pay for the seedbox, and its not cheap. with the weak rupee its a greater burden on our pockets

i agree with u but thn u can dwnld data without the worry of uploading......gives u mentally peace tht even if the power fails the torrents r not disrupted ......most of all all the high lvl trackers cud be maintained easily.....i think the cost factor may be a con but the pros outweigh it....

I donot agree with munishm. I download EVERYTHING at 200 KBps. Use port forwarding in MT882. You should have the small icon at the bottom of BitTorrent turn green. This means your port forwarding is OK. Then you will have 200+ at 256 KBps connection.
