Torrent Problems

I sometimes download torrents.

But i cant seem to ever get above 20kb/s on any torrents anymore.

I have a 2meg connection and could always used to be able to fast download speed, a while back i played round with my wireless network card settings and router settings could i have enabled or disabled something that could have caused this?

Im on Pipex 2mb, i use BitComet 0.63.

My router is Linksys WRT54G and my modem is a Westell 6000, i have the correct ports forwarded aswell.

I cant seem to figure out what it wrong its driving me insane!

Your login wouldn't be @xtreme3.pipex.net would it?

They've just started P2P throttling on that pipe.

No im on the @xtreme4.pipex.net

Out of interest why are they doing this throttling business surely its up to the user what they use their connection for, thats what we pay for.

How do you deal with it then?

Thanks for that, really helpfull.

Could the RIAA really catch people? I havnt heard any UK cases?

Surely they dont go for 'casual' users?
