clokwise Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I noticed something interesting the last couple days. I normally do not download bittorrents here in Thailand because, as we all know, ISPs throttle the bandwidth severely. I thought I'd give the new utorrent 1.5 a shot and all I can say is HOLY COW! Instead of torrents trickling in at 3 or 4 kbps, they're coming in at 100~120kbps. Looking at the peers list I can see that all the fast peers are using protocol encryption. One torrent I have running now has 42 peers, 33 of which are using PE. BTW, Azureus/2400 also supports PE now. Anyone else enjoying this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Boy Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I was wondering why the internet has been so slow for the last few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using BitComet 0.61 along with PeerGuardian2 and found "normal" (average 30 KBps down and 20 KBps up for 1M/512K link in Bangkok). Often I get up to 99 seeds, 150+ peers for popular files. Are you using PeerGuardian2? Edited March 9, 2006 by xty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clokwise Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Are you using PeerGuardian2? Never had a need for it. I use Firefox/adblock/Filterset.G combo. And even if I did download Hollywood movies or music I'm not particularly worried about the RIAA/MPAA coming after me here in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xty Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Never had a need for it. I'm not particularly worried about the RIAA/MPAA coming after me here in Thailand. Me neither. But PeerGuardian2 really helps me not to get hammered and fake files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
