Anyway to defeat Bittorrent throttling?

[PrimoTurbo]

Well apparently Bell Sympatico here in Ontario has started throttling all resellers and I happen to get service from one of them. So now instead of 500Kb/s I'm getting 30Kb/s...

Has anyone come across anyway to defeat throttling through some settings or something? I'm using Deluge at the moment.

Really sucks, and 90% of what I download are mostly podcasts/webcasts, linux isos and the occasional tv show if I missed it.

I think Deluge has some pretty advanced encryption settings. Just mess around with them until you find one that works.

Turning on encryption doesn't appear to have any effect.

things to try:
1) encryption
2) Changing ports
3) proxies
4) ask your ISP nicely (this probably wont work but is just a last resort)

Tried all except proxies, would be pointless and slower to do it.

As far as asking ISP...it's not my ISP throttling it's a reseller of a huge one in Canada. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to beat throttling successfully.

if they have managed to get block encrypted torrent packets you are probably out of luck. Encryption is the most effective method for getting around throttling.

enable encrypton, use port between 50000-80000, disable DHT

check out some of the azureus wiki FAQ's theres good info in there even if you don't have azureus.

i think you mean 50000 and 65535

but honestly any number above 10000 is good

Supossedly, MLPPP works.
