DOWNLOADING TORRENTS ON FIOS

So now I set my upload limit very low like kB and delete the torrent within 15 minutes. Answer 1 of 3 : I doubt they actively try to seek out users as torrents are legitimate as well as copyright infringing but they definitely respond to takedown notices. I think 3 is common for most ISPs before they cancel you. You'll most likely know about the first when your connection goes down.

This may or may not relate to you or help with your problem. Hope this helps those that design UTorrent in some small way also. Summary: The more "per torrent" slots you open the higher your DL speed will be while still giving a good share ratio. The TWO "per torrent" numbers, when added together must not be larger that the Global number obviously. Anyways to make this short try to open up as many "per torrent" upload slots as you can while staying about below the Global max upload number.

Good luck and hope this helps ALL of us In other words the MORE little seeds u have and give And since Centurylink does log your historical IP address assignments, your torrent activity is directly traceable by your torrent IP address unless you take steps to hide it. Having had personal experience with Fios, we have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with them as an ISP.

As of , IP address assignments were kept for at least 18 months 1. They do however force the use of Verizon DNS servers unless you specify your own which makes it extremely easy for them to monitor the websites you visit.

Verizon does allow torrenting but they are also participants in the now defunct six-strikes copyright alert system. As a result, users are expected to act responsibly and download legal torrent files.

They do seem to stop short of cutting off internet access altogether, though that may have changed after the DMCA safe-harbor revocation against Comcast. You may also notice a nice speed boost on video streaming sites. Your internet provider is only able to monitor your web history and torrent downloads because they have full access to your data stream. All traffic flows through their servers before reaching the rest of the internet. Log in. Trending Search forums. What's new.

This can happen as soon as 10 seconds from the start of the torrent. This does not happen with an http large file download even 10GB at max speed so it's not the throughput.
