ISP Throttling Your Bittorrent Traffic

Filed under: File Sharing, P2P — kingkong @ 3:50 pm

We are alot more than just a huge monkey with a big heart. We are also TorrentFreaks! When we saw there latest post i was so happy that i couldn’t wait to call up my ISP and say hey, i now have proof you guys throttle traffic ( for those less knowledgeable monkeys throttling means that apply traffic shaping to information you send and receive through the internet, specifically to deal with bittorrent traffic) and i can finally argue or threaten to expose them hehe! The site simply is a Web application Glasnost simulates BitTorrent downloads on your computer to determine whether or not your internet service provider (ISP) is throttling your BitTorrent transfers. It also compares regular download speed which hopefully aren’t also throttled, and bittorrent downloads. Various other combinations of ports ultimately to determine what is being throttled if anything!

You can find the web app here! Leave your results in the comments below!

the art of obtaining an invite

Filed under: File Sharing, P2P — kingkong @ 1:22 am

 

Well today your local monkey got into an argument with his friend aka fool timmy, about being able to obtain invites to certain torrent sites, with in a span of a week! This optimistic monkey set off trying to obtain these invites and landed in a pool of many insane human being scrambling around like there were on the block (BB9 reference) looking for the same thing. So I started looking through irc chatrooms forums posts and blogs for invites for many of these invite based websites! Pfft to my angry i was able to dig up nothing there is a couple of leads i have still going but nothing has panned out yet. What.cd and Waffles.fm have eluded many a user this year since the close of the famous bittorrent site oink. But I promise if anyone can do it, its me i will find invites, and once i get enough of a ratio i will give away this invites here and between another forum i promised i would give out! So how do you obtain your invites? This monkey is curious (i hate curious george)
