p2p file sharing and NTL

[jdtswan]

Im having a nightmare using Shareaza, as its killing my NTL internet connection - Ive tried all sorts of settings changes and even a downloaded patch opening up more ports in XP 2, does anyone know if there is a firmware upgrade for the old NTL Home 120 Cable modem, though Id give that a go, Ironically this problem coincides with me going from 2MB to 4MB, I never had any problems on 2, now when Im connect with Shareaza, I cant view any web pages or read my email, has anybody else come across a similar problem??

All P2P software can be troublesome. Ntl are beginning to implement trafic shaping, and that will target P2P users.

If you must uses P2P, try to avoid saturation of your upload bandwidth. Set the upload to a maximum of only 50% of the total you get. That ensures acknowledgement and other messages can still get out.

Even when you set the upload to 50% it's still a crawl. It's awful.

Peering around the corner of digital media distribution

Peer-to-peer delivery was a major theme at a London conference on digital distribution for film and television. While technology can provide low-cost global distribution, issues of rights, licensing and regulation remain as complex as ever.

Kevin Baughan, head of technology strategy at UK cable operator NTL:Telewest described an experiment to accelerate downloads using a peer-to-peer delivery system augmented with a server from CacheLogic."

"
Tom Carroux of BitTorrent, now a venture capital backed company based in San Francisco, said that the NTL trial using BitTorrent was significant in that it accepts P2P as a legitimate distribution medium."

"NTL trials BitTorrent video downloads using CacheLogic

Cable television company NTL, the leading consumer broadband provider in the UK, is to trial a legal peer-to-peer video download service in association with BitTorrent and Cachelogic.

The small scale technical trial is expected to begin in April and will feature a large variety of licensed video material, including popular movies, music videos and television programmes.
BitTorrent peer-to-peer, or P2P, client software will be combined with content caches from CacheLogic to accelerate the delivery of downloads and offset network costs. The companies say that using the high-speed NTL network this will provide “ground-breaking download speeds of broadcast quality content”."
