Does OVH limit p2p speeds ?

Hi everyone.

I'm using a dedicated server ordered directly from ovh and it seems to be limited to ~4 MB/s upload. The download works fine around 10 or 11 MB/s.

Well, this could be perfectly normal if i havent already used the exact same provider and plan (Kimsufi L) with seedhost.eu where i could always get regular 10 MB/s upload speeds and really fast peer connections.

I suppose i installed everything right according to NaQ's guide (updates, utorrent, wine, etc).

I tried Windows Server 2003, Ubuntu and i am now using Debian 4.0 (Etch).

Any ideia why this happens and what i might be doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance. :-)

you just not c00L enough.

I'm sure it's just the torrents that you jumping on.
If ovh found that you were downloading p2p they would sent a letter to stop it.

I'm in the same boat as the OP... hard to max connection speed once I purchased a dedicated server... :( but previously was easy to max.... :(

Did have problems when i did use ubuntu and wine. But with debian and wine i allways maxout

OVH is definitely not throttling/blocking torrent traffic.

they only do when they receive a complaint, not otherwise. Stick to private trackers coz more or less they r like ovh internal network. Most people have boxes so its like internal peering and pretty fast indeed.

So why am i still getting low peer connections + low upload speeds with latest wine+utorrent and ultimate releases on top speed trackers ?

Maybe you have lost the SLA Mode, check it on your manager.

Seedright.

SLA mode ? What is that ?

Service Level Agreement.

If you have a gigabit box or multiple servers and go over 101Mb/s, your server(s) may be be put into NoSLA.

Google OVH NoSLA

BP Type: SLA

Remember Kimsufi is 10Mb/s guaranteed, 100Mb/s burstable.

I have the exact same problem. I have tried Ubuntu, and Windows Server 2003 with the same results. The only point when i got upload speeds of 11mb up was at some point using torrentflux on ubuntu, but that happened for some hours. i'm still trying to find out what the problem is
