Is your ISP throttling your connection?
From this PC World article:
Quote:
They compare TCP downloads/uploads with BitTorrent dl/uls, 2 of each. There's a short test that takes about 4 minutes, and a full test that runs about 7 minutes. Mine showed a potential throttling of an upload -- TCP was almost 400kbps but BitTorrent was half that -- but a single run isn't going to give a definite answer. I'll try again at different times over a couple of days & look for a pattern. |

So, what link do I click on to test it?

Re: Is your ISP throttling your connection?
From what I understand ISP's have always throttled uploads to be slower than DL's. At least for individual accounts. Business accounts are not "supposed" to be throttled, as far as I know.
PLUS, if you add the ISP's throttle to the bottleneck of your own PC's buffer,,,then we have.....slowness! |

How important is this? Probably not very. I just like knowing that if I'm paying for X level of service, I'm actually getting it. |

I KNEWTHAT!
I was just testing you. :) |
Re: Is your ISP throttling your connection?
Ok, here is mine!! What does it mean?
Is there anything I should not post here? s BitTorrent traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6882) throttled? * The BitTorrent upload (seeding) worked. Our tool was successful in uploading data using the BitTorrent protocol. * There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent uploads. In our tests a TCP upload achieved minimal 486 Kbps while a BitTorrent upload achieved maximal 487 Kbps. You can find details here. * The BitTorrent download worked. Our tool was successful in downloading data using the BitTorrent protocol. * There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent downloads. In our tests a TCP download achieved minimal 1135 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved maximal 1151 Kbps. You can find details here. Is BitTorrent traffic on a non-standard BitTorrent port (10010) throttled? * The BitTorrent upload (seeding) worked. Our tool was successful in uploading data using the BitTorrent protocol. * There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent uploads. In our tests a TCP download achieved minimal 477 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved maximal 496 Kbps. You can find details here. * The BitTorrent download worked. Our tool was successful in downloading data using the BitTorrent protocol. * There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent downloads. In our tests a TCP download achieved minimal 1134 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved maximal 1150 Kbps. You can find details here. Is TCP traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6882) throttled? * There's no indication that your ISP rate limits all downloads at port 6882. In our test, a TCP download on a BitTorrent port achieved at least 1135 Kbps while a TCP download on a non-BitTorrent port achieved at least 1134 Kbps. You can find details here. * There's no indication that your ISP rate limits all uploads at port 6882.

"I think it's all good!?"
I think you're right. Your ISP is treating BitTorrent traffic the same as regular TCP traffic, no penalties in speed, no blocked ports. No worries... |
