My ISP called me the other day concerning my high-speed internet. I spoke to a rep and she said that my dl/ul were unusally high for a residential connection.
I just got high speed in Oct. so I was itchin for dowloadin....Oct- 22gb dl/ul(kazaa lite only)....Nov- 57gb dl/ul ( BT and kazaa lite). She said that if I was using any kind of filesharing program, that I should turn of the sharing...also saying that apprx 22gb was an okay amount per month, but it was still in the high dl's. I asked if this was common and she said no its rare....so with that being said what should I do???
Lower your sharing speeds, ESPECIALLY on BitTorrent -- which will try to overload T-3 lines if given a chance!
Shadow's Experimental BitTorrent client allows you to use a default connection type, although you're limited to the default values under them.
I run with dial-up @ 5 KB/sec and 2 uploads, but usually speed it up to low-end broadband @10 KB/sec and ~4-6 uploads.
damn...glad my isp doesnt limit anything..as i usually hit 120 gig bandwidth a month :rolleyes:
HOw do I get dl speeds of 350-500 kbs w/ BT??? I usually keep my settings at the default cable/fast settings....Sometimes I get 250kbs near the end of a file, but usually it slows down to about 100-150kbs if i'm lucky ( depends what time it is).....I wanna get 500kbs and really piss em off...hopefully they won't disconnect me......I'll look forward to their next call.
I have shaw cable, go canada :D, and they have told me me to stop sharing, and I actually told them to fuck off, havnt had another phone call since

I don't think this was a warning. I do not think they can see you are using Kazaa.
They only see that ports are being used often, but that could mean also that you have a webserver on your pc :)
