Hi. i've just switched from pipex 1mb to talktlak 2mb.
when i got talktalk, all i changed on my computer was the username and password in the router's options for the broadband.
thing is, no matter how many peers/seeds there are, abc tends to stick at around 50kbps in total. i know my interent connection is faster becuase when i download something from internet explorere i see speeds higher than 200kbps.
i've searched google and it seems talktalk are somehow limiting the p2p sharing.
i've been told that if i use port 21 or 80, (standard ftp and http ports), they don't limit them so i can download as much as i want. when i set abc to use port 21, the speed never goes higher than 20kbps. i don't have any ftp servers and am not downloading anything from ftp.
is there any way to "tunnel" a connection through port 80 and then let a torrent client use it? so to the ISP it's just like i'm downloading something from internet explorer.
