By chewbkka , March 24, in General. I have never had this with verizon and need to know what I need to block comcast from monitoring my downloads from torrents. Any suggestions. I've heard of people getting seedbox's. From there they download the "video" or what have you via an FTP program.
They are following "trackers" not FTP. Some movie companies add their own tracker to movie files at a lot of open trackers or try to get themselves invited to private and monitor their own ISP's.
So with downloading to a seedbox, it eliminates being followed. Make sense? If someone objects, please say so or help with a better idea as this is the only way I personally know. Good Luck! I read about them and they seem to help to. I think this will help. IP blockers only deter anti-p2p companies from seeing what you're downloading. What Comcast is doing is monitoring any and all torrent traffic coming through your connection.
They're listening in on what you're doing. Internet service providers ISPs to police their own networks in an effort to catch digital pirates and stop illegal file-sharing. Comcast are not monitoring you. They're also not going to monitor you in July either, for the simple reason that they would face criminal charges for doing so.
I'll write a longer piece in a little bit, but in short, thats the facts. And for the second time in as many threads as I'e seen him comment, CCRichter is about as far from reality as he can be. Media companies are hooking themselves into public trackers as regular peers and monitor the traffic and log IPs, then they put a pressure by email on the ISP's which in their turn could contact their clients.
I've seen that by first hand although not involved in this because I download one movie per few months on the average. Well, it's not 'put pressure', they just send an email, which the ISP forwards on. No pressure at all. The tool might take a few minutes to analyze your network speed and inform you about your internet speed.
Note down the speed and bandwidth and repeat the test after some time. If the obtained results show considerable variations, then Comcast is surely throttling your connection. The Internet Health test measures whether the interconnection points are having some problems.
It runs speed measurements from your ISP across various interconnection points to detect any degraded or throttled performance. The test uses codes and infrastructures from M-Lab that send your traffic to a device working as a measuring point outside your service provider network.
To conduct the internet health test, visit www. If the difference is quite significant, then it is a sign of Comcast throttling. But to have more confirmation, you should perform and analyze the results for a week or more.
Here are the steps for using the Wehe app to check if Comcast is throttling your internet speed or not:. By using any of the methods mentioned above, you can check if Comcast is throttling your connection or not. But since the Wehe app is part of a research study, it is not as reliable as the other two. Also, it collects sensitive information such as your location, connection time stamp, and operating system. A VPN is a reliable and perfect tool to stop throttling. With the new IP address, you can easily bypass the ISP filters and access the internet without any limitation.
When it comes to bypassing Comcast throttling, we recommend you stick to a few fastest VPN providers. Also, it should have an extensive server network and some privacy-focused features that make it difficult for your ISP to detect you.
CyberGhost is another excellent option to consider for bypassing Comcast throttling. Moreover, it offers unlimited bandwidth and decent speed. It comes with specialized servers for torrenting and streaming. The split tunneling feature also maintains your security and speed during torrenting. The presence of a vast server network also makes it a great option to stop Comcast from throttling the connection.
With more than servers in 59 countries, users can access geo-blocked content on any streaming site. In case you hadn't grasped it. They see your download, by joining it as a regular peer int he swarm. To block them, you'd have to block all peers in the swarm, meaning you have effectively stopped the torrent.
Like a vpn or something btguard? If there is no fool-proof way to truley hide or mask the IP addresses then torrent downloading will be a thing of the past. Do you really need to be an ass?
He is just asking for help. So let me be the noob also, does not peerblocker help with these issues, and is there not a setting in utorrent that helps also, similar to peerblock? No peer blocker protects you from these notices. Only not downloading monitored content protects you. Yes a good VPN will stop you from getting such letters.
You'll have to do the reasearch yourself on which one to choose. Start new topic. Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2. Recommended Posts.
