Download throttling

[chumpster]

Anyone know how to get around download throttling?

Depends on the ISP and what tech they use for throttling. It's common and almost everywhere now. There's really no way around it, as the throttling boxes at the ISP are looking for signatures, and torrent split data patterns. You can buy a subscription for online VPN services. Say if you liive in the US, you buy a VPN which makes you look like your coming from Sweden. The traffic at that point is encrypted, and ISPs typically won't throttle encrypted traffic. Too risky for them as there are a billion telecommuters these days that use encrypted VPNs for work from their home offices. That would prompt class action lawsuits.

Last I heard ATT does not throttle (on landlines), but I have not verified that myself.

I use a proxy first lets me access such places as i s o h u n t . Here is the US it's been restricted, the proxy tricks it and makes it think your pc is actually from another country besides the US , I can download from there with no problems whatsoever.
Download speeds vary depending on what u pay and what connection u have, if your router is wireless or shared etc... etc...
If anyone needs help with the proxy to be able to access some sites like the one I mentioned, either google it or pm me.
