A lot of ISPs throttle BitTorrent traffic: Charter, AT&T, Qwest, ComCast, CableVision, and many more. There’s a full list HERE<\/a>. There are lot of tutorials out there on bypassing the evils of throttling. Some work, some don’t, some work for a while then stop working when the ISP figures it out. Below are step-by-step settings that worked for me in uTorrent. I went from being throttled to about three hours a week to being on 24\/7. The bandwidth isn’t quite as high as before I was being throttled, but overall<\/em> my weekly throughput is MUCH higher, because I can now be on 24\/7.<\/p>\n

NOTE: I do not recommend that you do anything illegal. I use BitTorrent ONLY for seeding my movies and podcasts, things I own, movies like Guns and Weed, the Road To Freedom<\/em> and the Freedom Feens podcast<\/strong>, things I produced myself that are released Creative Commons. In fact, you can grab my torrents HERE<\/a>. If you like this article and get something out of it, please do grab those torrents, download and enjoy them, and SEED them. Thanks! But I’ve done a test, and these techniques do<\/em> work for downloading as well.<\/p>\n

Overall, showing bandwidth I’m getting:<\/p>\n

Here are the screenshots of my custom settings that are bypassing throttling on my end. (under Options\/Preferences):<\/p>\n

General settings:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

UI settings:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(No screenshot for Directories. Doesn’t matter what you have for Directories.)<\/p>\n

Connection settings: (If this port doesn’t work for you, try a different random port, but do not randomize port for each start.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bandwidth settings:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BitTorrent settings:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Transfer Cap settings:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Queuing:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Leave the last four, Scheduler, Web UI, Playback and Advanced, as is. You don’t need to change anything on them.<\/p>\n

Enjoy. Always obey the law, brush your teeth and do what your parents tell you to. And don’t forget to vote, because your vote counts and politicians are looking out for your best interests. HA HA HA HA!<\/p>\n
