OK thanks Allan. I'll just ring AOL and give them some abuse... Doubt it will work but it'll make me feel better shouting at some Indian customer service rep. | |

Nope the only one full speed probably is 80 and for HTTP browsing only. Torrent programs will use differnet ports to the generic ones used for TCP/IP etc.. | |

It's pathetic really as I don't really download that much anyway. Is there anyway to get round the problem and use different ports for torrents and downloads? | |

Because they'll throttle on ports. Port 80 and browsing will be full speed. Any other that's in use including torrents etc.... will be limited. That's what BT were doing anyway. | |

I haven't tested my speed on torrents. I just mentioned that my torrents stay below 40kb/s consistantly now whereas they used to go to 400kb/s+. | |

You might do well to not speed test your connection on torrents ;) | |

I've tried lots of different sites. Tried downloading things like itunes from apple site, apps from sites like download.com and other stuff. Won't go any higher than 40kb/s. Torrents are the same too. | |

Do they do that then? Allow you full speed on certain sites but limit your downloads? The cheeky twats.... | |

It could be and probably is AOL throttling downloads and giving you full speed on speedtest sites. | |
