Hey guys,
as we all know, streamyx has been trying to block off torrents and other p2p stuff..
I ve been using Utorrent for years. Im using 4mbps streamyx and i usually download at 400-500kb/s via utorrent with force encryption on. However for the pass 2 days i notice my download speed never go above 10kb/s

.
1. I ve tried using utorrent my other pcs and still the speed is slow. (<10kb/s)
2. I tried downloading downloading stuff via sharesharing website and test my speed via speedtest.net and it was excellent speed.
3. I have tried running utorrent since sunday and the speed still remains (<10kb/s)
4. I restarted my modem several times to get new ip and change my ports and reforward them. the speed increased to ~100kb/s for about 5 mins then crash down to 10kb/s.
5. Today i decided to try out bitcomet. and the speed was excellent at 400-500kb/s on the same files i tried to dl on utorrent. HOWEVER... connection to most of the trackers are blocked and bitcomet had to rely on DHT and peer exchange to obtain seeds/peers. I ve manage to overcome that by using a proxy to connect to the trackers
6. each time i ran utorrent, the speed is <10kb/s and i notice all my other connections, eg browsing/youtube/gaming slows down together.
I was just wondering, if somehow streamyx has managed to detect utorrent?
And if detected, they resorted to reducing ur entire internet connection rather than just throttling down the torrent connections alone.
