I really want to test this thing in our network SOC and see how high it goes. We have two gigabit fiber lines (comcast offers 6 or 8 if i remember correctly). Just have to find someone who is stupid enough to do it for me
I believe its some sort of caching device on their end, or at least thats how I've understood the small amount I've heard about "speed boost". That GT upload looked really slow, do they throttle it to prevent torrenters? As for me, crappy windstream dsl: 3mb down, ~356kb up. Even though I hate charter, with this dsl connection I miss the joys of cable.
You can bypass the bandwidth checks for torrents by using: 1. encrypted communications for peers and trackers. Built into azureus. http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Avoid_traffic_shaping 2. Tor (bouncing your traffic off 30 remote encrypted links). I recomend privoxy http://www.privoxy.org/. It has them all in one package. I now get close to 2000k per second on large torrents, no less than 900 on the small ones. They are throttling SSH and a few other protocols so that limits what you can do...
Comcast Will you should upload the 04 STi manual, that torrent is currently super slow I wonder if I can do anything about upload, how does upload affect browsing speed, it seems when I'm loading stuff everything is about twice as slow if not worse
