Wtf With My New Internet Connection

[Cygnuz-Y]

I just got this new internet service from rogers, supposed to be 5 MBPS, when i do a test in any bandwidth meter the results are amazing i get 3.4 MB and sometimes i get 5.3mb and stuff, the web pages load REALLY fast, every web page, BUT when i try to download using Kazaa or Bittorrent i cant get past 26 Kb/sec , i 've tried everything, maybe i have to change something or maybe this assholes have the ports blocked, can somebody help me? :blink:

its 5mbps if u buy their modem...

or its the regular 3

and if u did buy the modem... try tweaking ur isp

and test ur speeds at www.dslreports.com and do a tweak test

also rogers does not gurantee u will get the exact speeds advertised

:)

[Filliz]

Maybe the people you were connected to simply aren't capable of uploading faster then 26KB/s? :unsure:

Try dl'ing something through newsgroups. ;)

your isp is probably throttling back the ports that Kazaa and even the ports your bittorrent client is using.

i use the bittornado (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1089830766/1) client and it allows you to change the ports.

Not that low, they will be reserved for other services. Try 54321 to 54329.

Edit: interesting that the broadband report didn&#39;t seem to think there was much wrong in getting 1.3Mbps on an advertised 5Mbps service. I don&#39;t think I&#39;d be trusting that report too much.

yeah im kind of wondering cuz when i download something off the net using flashget i can get up to 750Kb/sec of speed but i keep having this problem with kazaa and bittorrent, im gonna try switching to those ports, thanks....

[Cygnuz-Y]

well i did get a little bit of speed in bittorrent, now i can get up to 50KB, but i want more, anyone know something else i should do?

IS it ok if i call the ISp and tell them about this??

ANd what should i say:

Can you pleaz release kazaa and bittorrent ports so i can download lots of pron and software quickly? <_<


Thank you....

rogers is great for me my only guesss is that some ports are blocked by a router or firewall. :blink:

although since i have teh cheap 128k connection, download at about 20kb/s, i guess i wouldn&#39;t notice it being throttled. :unsure:

edit: where in canada do u live? im guesing somewhere in ontario right? :)

damn, if you got the cheap and you download at the same speed as you im definitely changing into the 128k one, no need to pay 5mb connection if it doesnt work :angry:

BTW im not behind a router and my firewall is set-up to allow bittornado to download everything...



And yes i am in ontario, waterloo B)

It doesnt matter what i try to download, if its on Kazaa or Bit it doesnt go higher than 50 Kb....

:(

[TheRealDave]

Only thing i can think of is ports being throttled but it&#39;s already been mentioned. So i&#39;m not too sure. Best email them about it.
