![]() ![]() Pretty much you got 1 warning and then they would just decide not to provide internet services to your house. They would have to pull logs to see which user was using certain ip at that time. Years ago when I used to work very closely with a large ISP they were only really concerned about torrent if they were getting legal documents complaining about theft. Mostly because everyone watches online video but only nerds run torrents. Torrent used to be the number 1 bandwidth usage pretty much now streaming video servers have exceeded that. When you consider many families will be watching mulitple 4k video off netflix does it really matter what is eating the bandwidth. I saw people complaining that some recent game was 60gbyte download on steam. I suspect if someone was constantly downloading stuff from steam all the time they might be concerned also. If you run it 24x7 they likely suspect you are up to no good. There just is not that much valid content to be running constantly for weeks at a time. Most valid traffic you would only run a couple hours at most. I guess it depends on how long you are running torrent. Let me know about your experiences down below! Today I finally uninstalled BitTorrent to see if the throttling goes away as time passes. I haven't contacted my ISP yet because I am not 100% sure if the throttling is because of P2P networking usage, but what I have read online is that as soon as they detect any kinds of P2P protocols used with high speed connections, they will take 'shadow' countermeasures. I'd like to know if anyone else here has experienced throttling after downloading LEGIT software through P2P connections and how to deal with this. After downloading Reason, I've had for the past month a terribly throttled connection, from 100MB/s contract to 300KB/s without no prior warning or any message etc. I expect the majority of users here know that in example Ubuntu (and a lot of more both open-source and closed source software) supports using torrents to download their software because it is popular enough to be slow at certain peak hours given downloading by their Datacenters, so I did just that with Propellerheads' Reason DAW. ![]()
