Hello Guys,

It seems that the airtel shaping the torrent traffic for larger files like 6GB or more, I have tried all possible methods to avoid it but no use. Any one of you have any idea to avoid it ??
 
havent faced any issues here......

Downdloaded a 17.5GB file a few days back and i was getting speeds upwards of 500kBps.
 
I am downloading 10 GB file and getting consistent 40 KB/s download speed on my 2 MBps airtel connection in bangalore.

Hellgate ur in which location.

Hmm... is it Dead Space 2??? Be careful, the torrents are being tracked. Peer guardian is opened up already, wont work. But I guess we in India can feel safe.

I'm receiving 1MBPS straight on 10GB file.
 
i have 4mbps but now a days working as 256Kbps as due to fup my mistake i downloaded 50gb in 8 days and now have to suffer for next 22 days. for me snail mail
 
I already mentioned that the shaping of bandwidth happens only for big files, for less than 5 GB files i am getting 220 Kbps (2 Mbps thanks for correction).

But I found a way to avoid it i.e using multiple torrent clients and start the same torrent on them. I used 4 clients for download and results are great.

Finally completed this morning :P

Yup, even though glasnost doesn't show any problem, I'm sure Airtel is throttling my speed. The max speed I'm getting while downloading from torrents is around 60-80KBps. I should be getting 240-260KBps as i am on the 2MBps unlimited plan...

but lots of things depend on seeds and peers too
 
Yes, Airtel is throttling P2P connections. I am observing this for the past 15 days or so and I can confidently say they are limiting the speeds. My 4Mbps (512KBps) connection downloads at only 128KBps during the day and the same file downloads at 512KBps+ at night (after 12AM).

I have seen this happen with files as small as 150MB and all the regular 700MB files, its not limited to larger files.
