![]() Waiting busy hosts from the magnet site? wow! Either the site is busy or ... no I just checked it out. Mine was queued for 2 seconds & then downlding at maximum speed. What's the name of your ISP? Another option is trying different connection ports or proxies. But proxies are difficult & tedious to set up & find one that works reasonably. Give your ISP a call & demand to speak to a technician & say you've been having speed problems & ask are they shaping p2p programs. BTW the majority of ISP's in UK are now bandwidth shaping p2p sharing. They use special programs that detect the program & can either block it or shape the bandwidth it's using along that port or a range of ports or simply the packets somehow. Here's an example of some p2p shapers that ISP's may/do use: sandvine : (1.) http://www.sandvine.com/products/p2p_element.asp, (2.) http://www.ipp2p.org/docu_en.html, ____ & ____ (3.) http://www.p-cube.com/new_solutions/traffic_P2P.shtml, (4.) http://www.ispreview.co.uk/ispnews/a...03/arc15.shtml |
