Hi deadlyhead

Unfortunately, it seems to me that your ISP is "Bandwidth Shaping" your internet connection, this technique was introduced some time ago throughout the US and Europe to stop users using P2P software.

I'm guessing from what you have revealed that your "normal" internet connection, such as email, browsing, etc., remains unaffected. If so then this is a definite sign of "Bandwidth Shaping" and, as far as I remember, there is no way around it other than to change ISPs and, in your case, use another modem/router.

May be someone else can come up with a more positive solution because I personally have not used any P2P software for more than 8 or so years and so my knowledge is somewhat out of date.

Good luck.


UK Bob
