    For Window users, can also try BitComet and turn on "Encyrpt Protocol Header". Supposed to stop the throttling.

    Read it today on a couple of other forums discussing the same thing.

    Yes I know BitComet sucks.

    I don't think it will matter which port you use.

    ISPs have also worked out the port number dodge (they may be stupid but they aren't ignorant), so they don't throttle throughput based on port number. First of all they don't even start checking until your data rate exceeds a particular threshold on one port over a particular period of time. Then they monitor the data types on that port and build a profile. If it matches the p2p profile it gets throttled.

    True voip is unlikely to meet the threshold so it doesn't usually get checked, and even if it does (for those who simply don't know when to shut up) the data profile won't match p2p so it won't get blocked.
    .
    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
