mate, if you look at the eclipse forum on www.adslguide.org.uk, loads of people are complaining about torrents getting blocked.

Guessing your having no issues then? Reset my router last night and reboot my machine AGAIN just incase, was only getting something like between 2 - 3 kbs till about 11:30 where it seemed to hit upto 70, same thing again peers connect for a few seconds then die.

Tried the openoffice torrent, and a few *nix distro's and same issue. Then tried a normal HTTP download and got a constant of high 90 k's

Baring in mind the torrents i had active had seeds of over 200 and peers under 100 :(

I'm on eclipse mate.

It now seems to be worse, it looks like they may be using a product made by "sandvine" for bandwidth managment - it forges RST packets from me to the other peer :mad: - this would make sense as im connecting to a for like 3 seconds most before they drop. Ideally need to find someone else with eclipse to compare

at the moment im just running a http proxy and running utorrent through that

jamesw, how exactly are you chaning the useragent? what software did you use to do it? Its a shame you can't do it within utorrent (from what i can see anyway). I just don't want to fuck off the private trackers I'm on with dodgy useragents.

eclipse internet

what isp are you with out of interest

Yes, ive had it turned on all the time, running a proxy on the machine to spoof the useragent and its now working again fine :D

Have you got encryption turned on?

utorrent, its not banned on the trackers im using, looks like ISP is playing dirty, if i spoof the user-agent to anything not torrent related it works fine, as soon as i use the name of any torrent client, as soon as a connection with the tracker is established, a few seconds later the connection dies

Newsgroup fiend

Torrents FTL!!

What client are you using? A lot are banned from various trackers for various reasons (latest utorrent, bitlord, etc)

Blatently what it is




:lol:


Is it just the one instance or i it every torrent you download ? I downloaded a copy of Ms Vb and it was fine...

Mind the only reason i had to download it from torrent was cos Microsofts website was down :mad:

FBI is onto you.

Anyone having issues connecting to trackers? Either error "connection closed by peer" or "offline (timeout)"

It seems over the past week or so there are growing reports of this for many trackers from different ISP's and different parts of the world
