is there any way to go around this?
my isp kills my speed on p2p connections...

can i hide the p2p connections from the isp? a protocol obfuscation?

Are you sure it's your ISP? How do you know?

In theory you could piggyback any payload onto something else that is allowed. Practically speaking (performance-wise and since the other side has to recognise it ;-p) tunneling or proxying may be your only choices, but I spose that won't do for Bittorrent. If proxying does work it will be fsckin slow.

^ http/ftp transfers work fine [max speed]
p2p won`t, except for a few minutes around 2 am, but don`t ask me why.
and it`s not only bittorrent...direct connect is affected 2, and others like soulseek or gnutella.

emule has a feature built in: link

could i possible hide my traffic has ftp or http?

...so you *dont* really know if your ISP actively blocks P2P traffic, do you?
There is a big difference between how HTTP/FTP and P2P work. HTTP/FTP is used on a path between two endpoints, you and the remote server, while P2P works between you and multiple peers. So, apart from your up and download speed and any throttling you or your ISP does, P2P throughput is affected by peer speed and its own set of rules like the availability of content by seeders and leechers, your upload ratio, snubbing and more. So in short you can't point to your ISP for throttling unless you have taken those into account and measured that.


except for a few minutes around 2 am, but don`t ask me why.
Is this constant? I mean does it happen every day and at exactly the same time? If it does are there any cronjobs running at that time? And did you check your firewall for inadvertedly blocking stuff?

...so you *dont* really know if your ISP actively blocks P2P traffic, do you?
Then what reason can explain the fact that when doing a download from someone with 10MB of uploading speed via direct connect i can`t go past the 6kb?

If it does are there any cronjobs running at that time? And did you check your firewall for inadvertedly blocking stuff? no...this happened back when i used windows 2...and my firewall rule set has the port i need open.

my ISP must be throttling p2p connections! you don`t work for them do you?

Check this new feature of eMule client here.

I don't know if linux P2P clients have this function but give emule 0.47c a try.

My ISP does throttle p2p, They detect it by the distinctive connection pattern so even running it encrypted on port 80 does not hide it.
