[QUOTE="Mong, post: 93055"] It is most likely to do with the port you are using in Azureus. Check this out which l got from a website: "Your client is reporting to the tracker that it uses one of the default bittorrent ports (6881-6889) or any other common p2p port for incoming connections. It is a common practice for ISPs to throttle those ports (that is, limit the bandwidth, hence the speed). The blocked ports list include, but is not neccessarily limited to, the following: Direct Connect 411 - 413 Kazaa 1214 eDonkey 4662 Gnutella 6346 - 6347 [B]BitTorrent 6881 - 6889[/B] In order to use use our tracker you must configure your client to use any port range that [B]does not contain those ports[/B] ([B]a range within the region 49152 through 65535 is preferable[/B], cf. IANA). Notice that some clients, like Azureus 2.0.7.0 or higher, use a single port for all torrents, while most others use one port per open torrent. The size of the range you choose should take this into account (typically less than 10 ports wide. There is no benefit whatsoever in choosing a wide range, and there are possible security implications). These ports are used for connections between peers, not client to tracker. Therefore this change will not interfere with your ability to use other trackers (in fact it should increase your speed with torrents from any tracker, not just ours). Your client will also still be able to connect to peers that are using the standard ports. If your client does not allow custom ports to be used, you will have to switch to one that does. The more random the choice is the harder it will be for ISPs to catch on to us and start limiting speeds on the ports we use. If we simply define another range ISPs will start throttling that range also. Finally, remember to forward the chosen ports in your router and/or open them in your firewall, should you have them. " So basically change your port in Azureus, mine is 65000 and then port forward this port in your router ([URL]http://www.portforward.com[/URL] ) And that should work! :) [/QUOTE]
