Is there a way to unlock torrent throttling?

RaptorZX3

ok i changed ISP lately, it's a 3rd-party ISP (Distributel) using DSL connection from Bell Canada, and they told me Bell do use torrent speed throttling during high traffic.

What i want to know...is there a way to somewhat unlock the ISP speed throttling on your computer? i use uTorrent. Is there a known software that can make the ISP think you're downloading normal files on HTTP when you're really downloading files via torrents?

thanks.

SPCR is not the best forum for this question. I would not try the Utorrent forum either because the company that owns utorrent is partnered with all of the big movie studios. You might try torrentfreak or the Vuze forum. I assume you do have encryption employed--that is fundamental.

Figure out how to add the ipfilter to your torrent program.

Check DSLReports.com, they are on top of this stuff over there.
I am afraid the answer will be no way around it though--and the CRTC has given Bell free reign to do as they wish.

Try limiting your upload speeds. Broadband providers use large amounts of upload usage to flag peer-to-peer users, and throttle them.

When I cut my uploading down from ~200 KB/s to 50 KB/s, my download speeds went from 50 KB/s to 500 KB/s.

using port 21 with Forced encryption (in uTorrent), the speed seem to be really good right now! and it's not even 2am here!

i think Bell crank up the torrent speed after 2am here.

I heard using a port that they just can't block will most likely fix the throttling problem on torrents...
