hi there, this is my first post so hello all.

I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible to get around bandwidth throttling by my ISP?

I use Azeurus and Soulseek for ligitimate downloads of live music videos and song files, posted by fans on various websites. My ISP has, without warning apparantly throttled my downloads from these legal services and i wonder whether i can bypass their intelligence and find a way around?

After hours of configuring port forwarding and adding rules to my firewall and router, i still can only achieve speeds of around 2-3kbps max. All my other downloads come down at 120-130kbps.

i will cancel my subscription as soon as possible, but i appear to be stuck in a contract. in the meantime, can anyone offer any advice of how to beat these thought police?

cheers

chris
