Torrent speed depend on the amount of seeds-.-

any self-respecting ISP will throttle their P2P traffic

ah user with high volume patterns

My tunnel provider maxes out at 20mbps down 2.4mbps up.

Edit: I ain't a Singtel user, but Starhub is definitely throttling something. My BSD/Linux images move really slowly outside the GRE tunnel. Response within the tunnel however is snap-snappy

firstly not all torrents are illegal...so i don see why the hell they should throttle!

and this has happened after a software update on my 2wire...i set it to factory state and its as fast as ever...

also i think the throttling was affecting my web browsing..after resetting to factory state it seems to be fine...

another solution my friend told me was use the non 2wire modems, though i don know how much of that is true!

my torrent is very slow .. singnet 3mbps user here ... used to torrenting with top speed of 360kbps ++ but now less that 10kbps ... Sians .. i think is something to do with the taiwan typhoon thingy ... due to undersea cable kena cut ...

Definitely throttling. I was back up to 1mb/s speed for a while, before suddenly dropping to 100kb/s.

You are trying to use a torrent that requires registration.

You can try changing to a higher range ports, it's helps for my case...

@mostwanted: i tried resetting the 2wire to factory settings and it doesnt seem to allow me to connect to the net (msn & browsing alike). how did you get it to work after resetting it?
