Many ISP’s are limiting or throttling P2P traffic on their networks. By throttling BitTorrent traffic the speed of Azurerus BitTorrent client downloads decrease, and high speed downloads are sometimes unreachable. In this simple steps I will show you how to prevent traffic shaping on Azureus.
- Go to: Tools > Options > Connection > Transport Encryption
Check the ‘require encrypted transport’ box and choose RC4 in the ‘minimum encryption’ dropdown box - RC4 uses more CPU time than the plain encryption or no encryption. It is however harder to identify for traffic shaping devices. You can check your CPU Usage through the Windows Task Manager (Alt+Ctrl+Delete)
- You can choose to tick the ‘Allow non-encrypted outgoing connections if encrypted connection attempt fails’ box. This will ensure compatibility with clients that are not using encryption. However, it makes it easier for your ISP to detect BitTorrent traffic. I recommend that you try to tick this box first. If you are still not getting proper speeds untick it
- Tick the ‘Allow non-encrypted incoming connections’ box
That’s all. Finish! Make sure that you use the latest version of Azureus.
