I have been having loads of trouble lately, even just connecting to KAT so I ran this test.
My ISP is Talktalk
Any comments welcome

I have hidden my IP and ticked randomize ports on uTorrents but nothing working. Keep getting a Socket Failure saying too many lines open 24. Any Ideas?

Update. Thanks for all comments, here is a link to some B*llshiteTraffic Management Policy
If you are suffering then this link may help Setting Torrent Client

Update 2 Have spoken to tech service who assured me my IP had no restrictions, however shortly after the call ended my DL speed went back to normal.

Yep your ISP TalkTalk throttles you have more of a read here

They will also be trying to block you from The Pirate Bay soon

OMG,is too bad

It seems our definitions of monitoring are a little different.
I was told by Cox Communications (on the phone) that they log everything, but don't actively monitor the logs until they receive copyright complaints, then they sift through them and try to find evidence of such activity and take certain actions.

Then I was referred to PeerBlock.
I know Cox has actively blocked certain websites that were labeled as "Scams" even though they weren't scams.

I would not trust a site that has Notice: Undefined offset: error messages they obviously cant programme, that error comes from trying to access an array key thats not set most likely from a blank result set, and Division by zero means there dividing a value by 0 like

<?php echo (1/0);?>

Anyways, a good way to bypass your ISP is to tunnel your traffic through a proxy, VPN ect. I personally like routing all my p2p traffic through a ssh connection and tunnelling(socks5) it with putty, then in utorrent choose the sock5 proxy and point to localhost. then the connection from me to a single server is encrypted. Then as I have root on the remote server I just run a sh script to purge any logs. Peer block is a great tool but its not bullet proof, and your isp will see thousands of ACK connections to your ip this is suspicious and is what most likely they watch out for, plus your port choice. The default 6881 port is a bad choice and utorrent will quite happily run on port 80,8080,443

At the end the day your ISP provides your internet and no how much you take lol
They might not its torrents thought a VPN or proxy but they will still know how much you have used up..

You're right 8 Mb is good but I'm not getting that & I pay for 11 Mb which I did get before they began throttling me.
(Sounds like some sado-masochist sex game 'throttling me')
