So what exactly does it take to get past this obvious p2p throttling FLOW has going on?
The speeds on my torrent remind me of the old days on Carib Link dial up when I used to put stuff to download on GoZilla and wake up in the morning to see that it went all night at 4kB/sec (score!).

Surely you guys don't live with this. Must be something. VPN. SOMETHING to get around this.
Say what you will about Blink, but you can use your bandwidth there however the hell you please once you don't break their daily cap.

If i recall correctly, Rage called them and they were able to fix the problem. Shinsoo also advised using a VPN but having to use a VPN to download is crap imo. I personally havent seen the problem yet but then again i havent fired up in torrents in weeks so....

That 'problem' started right after the big 'outage' some weeks ago.
I noticed it right off the bat, and I thought it was just me.

Coincidence?

Shinsoo said he got his fixed. Give him a holla and see what it was they changed. Mentioned something about ports but best to get the details from him.

Or ask Xpider_G

Last test I did saw over 1mb in dl speed on torrents but like Virtue, I'm not a heavy user of it so ymmv.

What package do you have at the moment and what speeds are you getting right now?

Exar_Kun · « **Reply #644 on:** May 08, 2012, 10:09:09 AM »

I'm on the 25Mbit package, which as of this morning was working at

I'm wondering if this is just a Chaguanas thing in part. Over the weekend I was literally below 1Mbit, couldn't even log in to PSN. But even with the speed rebound, torrents definitely haven't gone back to where they should be. I've only started using FLOW for about a week now, so when I saw the low torrent speeds last week I did a google search and found a thread on trinituner talking about how FLOW throttles p2p.

I'll take your recommendation and shoot a pm off to Shinsoo though. Thanks. Hopefully this can get sorted out.

Arc suggested something last night that worked. If you use utorrent, enable DHT and force encryption. The problem is if the site you use monitors you're ul/dl ratio, encrypting means they can't track your uploads.

^^ Yea that should work had to do that when I switched to Flow around this time last year. If not then you might have to tweak some other settings in your torrent client.

Shinsoo · « **Reply #647 on:** May 08, 2012, 12:40:17 PM »

3 things to fix problem.

take down router firewall (most likely its up)
randomize ports
if those dont work then use a vpn.

VirtueTT · « **Reply #655 on:** August 06, 2012, 11:42:34 AM »

Last night (ONCE AGAIN) south was gettin hit with some rather shitty connection speeds. It seems they were having a lot of issues as even their test site for speedtest.net was down =/

Arcmanov · « **Reply #656 on:** August 06, 2012, 12:58:52 PM »

I think it was country-wide yes...but things started to normalize by about 23:30. Was even able to play a BF3 session adequately enough.

I guess all ISPs have their issues from time to time.

Doesn't Flow's very own ad on this site boast "game without lag"?

I told u guys, I experienced it first in the heart of town, just a matter of time before most areas have so many subscribers that lag is going to be a 24/7 problem for you guys. I suggest have DSL connection on standby as even that is going to start to look like salvation compared to Flow's degenerating service.

'...degenerating service'?

Far from it my friend.
How ironic it is that 'degenerating service' caused me to switch from Blink DSL in the first place. :/

A case of 'Captain Awesome' becoming 'Captain Dramatic'?
