Ive recently been having problems with bittorrent, it seemed that my ISP was choking bandwidth on 6881, so i changed to 40,000, and then recently to 65535...
My point is that switching helped breifly, but now whenever i start a torrent, my internet connection cuts out, completely... (that was the problem i had with the other ports too...) ... the problem used to go away when i changed ports, but not anymore.
Id Like to point out that i used BT for about 2 years on the same ISP with no problems, this is a fairly recent problem, and none of my hardware has changed, except me changing the Port Triggering on my router so it stands to reason the problem MUST be the ISP...
I assumed that my ISP had blacklisted a whole portrange so i emailed them asking for a list of them. i got this reply
Im sure thats just a blow off, as im nearly 100% sure thats not true, and ISPs
DO have control over ports and they do indeed blacklist/choke ports.
So can any of you confirm this for me?
I dont want to write an indignant email back, only to be proved wrong... but i think hes just lying to me.
