Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
If all the p2p was blocked mabey we could all get that 20Mb after all eh>joke<
I`ll keep my ktorrent and wibbly wobbly bb connection me thinks. I`m certainly not paying more for decent newsgroup access thats for sure! Not if my connection sorts itself out once the new modem comes anyway, although i may well consider it with the continued savings i`ll be making IF they are`nt sorted out.:) |
Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
Most problems with P2P relate to the required ports not functioning correctly.
You may also find various trackers, especially private ones, only allow certain torrent clients. |
Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
i wish they would as Im fed up with pikeys using the bandwidth

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
I don't think you can get cable internet to a caravan...afaik VM will only install at fixed addresses.

Oh Yes they do!!!!! And they are going to get worse. I have had Virgin for 3 months and it has been that bad for me, I am payin £120 to get rid of it. I have spoken to the engineers and they inform me this is about to get a lot worse.

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
Funny that, cos I torrent most nights and it downloads and uploads a lot while I'm doing it. If I go to bed about midnight, I can expect by the time I wake up about 8am, to have uploaded a gig or more, and downloaded more than that if I'm on a particular downloading spree.

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
Have to agree to disagree.. Like I said earlier, I have been with virgin for 3 months. I noticed this when everytime I opened Vuze. In the task bar at the bottom, a yellow x would appear and I would lose connection to my seeds. Then it would re connect for about a minute or so and then do the same again. I watched this for an hour or so then shut down my PC. I used internet without Vuze for half an hour and nothing, it was fine so I opened Vuze again and it started all over again. I phoned Virgin and told them my connection kept dropping and they asked me if I was using P2P software because if I was, it would keep doing this as Virgin is trying to crack down. All I know is that with me, it woun't let me use P2P. If I leave it overnight, it will probably finish or be close by but lets be honest, a 700mb file should be done in an hour max..

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
You were fobbed off by tech support wanted to get you off the phone line.
This is almost certainly a case of you simply needing to reduce your number of connections in Vuze. |
Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
Tried that.. still the same.. I just given up.. Can you offer any other advice?? I am sure I have tried everything though..
|
Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
What modem do you have? (should be on the underside of it)
|
Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
Ambit?? It the second one I have recieved from Virgin.. Running a netgear router though.. I tried plugging straight into modem but that would not work.. I think it is something to do with the router as that is where the little yellow x appears.

Re: do virgin block p2p programmes?
Hey guys, all I know is when I open Vuze or sopcast the little yellow x appears. I don't have to be downloading anything just opening the programme drops the connection. As soon as the programme closes, It reconnects and does not drop again. I have sat and studied this for weeks. Virgin are doing something but after a little more digging today, I have found that this is happening to many new customers. if you have had your connection for 6 mnths or more you should be OK for the time being.

Re: do virgin block p2p programmes?
Steve, you are assuming that they are throttling - they are not. It is a setting which isn't being set properly; most likely connections or your modem not being able to sustain/start with so many simultaneous connections. Get in touch with 2nd line techs via the newsgroups and they'll probably send you a new modem or help you out. Virgin is not against torrenting so this case is viable for support from VM until the issue is fixed.

Re: do virgin block p2p programmes?
Just ran THIS and nothing was blocked here.
