A company called ipoque is advertising the next generation of traffic shaping software that ipoque advertises can be used to specifically target particular BT sites or any type of defined traffic or sites the user wants to whitelist.

Comcast has confirmed that it is blocking BT traffic to selected BT sites

Improved Identification of Encrypted P2P Protocols, Identification of Direct Download Links and BitTorrent Whitelisting ipoque Introduces PRX Traffic Manager 2.3

ipoque, provider of professional solutions for Internet traffic management and analysis, announces the new version 2.3 of its PRX Traffic Manager. The PRX product line provides a tool for the effective control of applications such as P2P file sharing, Instant Messaging (IM) and VoIP, including Skype, for enterprises, ISPs, universities etc. The new version of the PRX Traffic Manager with its extended functionality meets the requirements of large network operators and provides a maximum flexibility.

(PRWEB) April 30, 2007 -- ipoque (www.ipoque.com), provider of professional solutions for Internet traffic management and analysis, announces the new version 2.3 of its PRX Traffic Manager. The PRX product line provides a tool for the effective control of applications such as P2P file sharing, Instant Messaging (IM) and VoIP, including Skype, for enterprises, ISPs, universities etc. The new version of the PRX Traffic Manager with its extended functionality meets the requirements of large network operators and provides a maximum flexibility.

The PRX product line for Internet traffic management and analysis comprises hardware traffic managers for Gigabit and Fast Ethernet. The ipoque filter technology works in two principle ways.

On one hand, it provides the opportunity of completely blocking applications such as P2P file sharing, IM, VoIP or Skype, which are able to bypass legacy firewalls. On the other hand, ipoque Traffic Managers allow an intelligent user-based bandwidth control as well as an improved utilization of backbone networks by throttling P2P traffic automatically in situations of high network load.

Version 2.3 with Advanced Benefits for Optimized Traffic Management

The PRX Traffic Manager 2.3 was extended with some leading-edge functionalities. Besides the improved identification of encrypted P2P protocols, a significant innovation is the whitelisting feature for BitTorrent.

It allows the differentiated treatment of BitTorrent trackers. Desired legal trackers such as tracker.opensuse.org can be registered in a whitelist so that their BitTorrent traffic is accepted. All other BitTorrent traffic can be blocked. In addition, the new version of the PRX Traffic Manager offers the identification of Internet traffic caused by filehosters. Filehosters such as Rapidshare, Uploading.com or Megaupload.com are being used ever more frequently to distribute copyrighted data files on the Internet. Due to measurements conducted by ipoque, an estimated share of over 5% of Germany´s overall Internet traffic is currently caused by such filehosters. This share will very likely increase significantly during the next months.

The data files are uploaded on a filehoster´s server by private users. A link to these files is then distributed by other means, most commonly through blogs and web pages. Clicking on such a link will download the file directly from the filehoster's server. In most cases, a password provided on the web page containing the link is required to decrypt the actual data files. A limited download of data files is always possible and free of charge. For a fee, data files can be downloaded at full DSL speed. Some of the major filehosting operators run large data centers. Rapidshare for example provides its users a storage capacity of over 1,500 terabytes with a total bandwidth of 90 gigabits/s.


Cox which is doing the same

I have heard that the following is an effective alternative for azureus and utorrent

Bittorrent Tracker Blocking
It seems like the RCN is doing something to interfere with bittorrent tracker communications. The issue seems to only be with tracker communications as downloads and uploads continue to work. There is a workaround, which is to use The Onion Router (TOR) to route tracker communications. Here’s how to do it with Azureus:
Download and install TOR
Run TOR. Not setup is really necessary, it starts working right out of the box (NICE!)
In Azureus, choose “Options” from the “Tools” menu
Expand the “Connections”menu in the lefthand tab
Choose the “Proxy Options” item from the list
In the right hand part of the window, check the boxes for “Enable proxying of tracker communications” and “I have a SOCKS proxy”
Enter “127.0.0.1″ in the Host text box and “9050″ in the Port text box
Click the “Save” button in the lower left corner of the Azureus window
Restart Azureus
You are back in business, congrats


Otherwise, google how to create ssh tunnel using putty or ssh tunnel bittorrent

i dont understand that at all sry, ya i cant connect eather.

Sweet post on how to get around. I am in the process of setting this up now.

I am in Canada (Calgary to be specific) and it also stops for me at cogentco.com (specifically: te1-1.mpd02.fra03.atlas.cogentco.com [130.117.2.13]).

I dont know if that is in Canada or not, but from what I understand such filtering is illegal. I will be consulting my legal advisors, as this is not in my ToS for my internet access. Perhaps a class-action lawsuit is in order?

NOTE, FOR UTORRENT USERS, USE SOCKS4 NOT 5


Alt Hack: Use babel fish. It worked up until login. Might work past login, but I'm just gonna use ToR for now.

Sadly i'm not a member of either. I was a member of Oink but haven't managed to get an invite to either Waffles or What yet.

[fstokebanget]

do a little more effort and you'll find the invites, these few days has been a lot posting about givingaway waffles & what invites in the invites section

[9NINE]

both are working fine now

[BloodyIron]

yeah what.cd works for me now without proxying.
