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. :-)

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.
