Sin Showpanza Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi, people. I have a 2 mb adsl connection. Apparently, my ISP is checking the internet traffic and blocking / drastically reducing the speed from download sources such as bittorrent, emule, Megaupload, Rapidshare and so on. It is not only with me, a lot of ppl in local forums (I livr in Brazil) are complaining about the same issue... I searched all over the internet to find a way to overcome this, but it seems impossible! Can anyone help, or is it better to give up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Get a bunch of people to write complaints to your ISP. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankOS_Scripting Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 learn how to use newsgroups FTW! Jay Sorry men, but you are at your first post. Don't be selfish and if you're not with the fact somebody need knowledge about something, take the back door and ran away. For your information Sin, there is nothing to do much about that. Your ISP put in the central (where you had the phone and ADSL "mounting" for the telecom) some equipments to make scanning on the deep packets. After detect packet heading like BT, eMule or whatever you want, the module take that packet and drop instead a false packet with a fake heading. That's why your speed drop down literaly and it's going like 30k/s. The only thing you can do is to flush that crappy DSL at 2 mb/s and hang up with the cable lifestyle.. What is the best internet I had ever in my life! Hope I help you a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSkylla Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 change ISP. here in italy we have some ISP with the same policies as yours, after hundreds of petitions against this unreasonable blocking, nothing's changed yet. I don't know if it's the same now days but a few years back, actually about 5 years back, I had a lot of friends in Italy, this was when we were on Carracho, and the Italians all had internal IPs only accessible in Italy so we used SSH tunneling in order for us non-Italians to access their Carracho servers and files. Oh that was fun. The good part was that they had 10/10mbit connections :-D which even by today's standards is very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSkylla Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 It seems that the Italians were probably better off with their internal 10/10mbit lines but it was a pain in the ass accessing their servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwkh Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 If your ISP is blocking your p2p, you can consider of trying VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
