How to check if your ISP manipulates your Torrent traffic

By HideIP Admin | Published: February 2, 2009

It is not unusual that your ISP limit the P2P traffic. As P2P file sharing traffic can constitute up to 75% of all the broadband bandwidth used, IPSs may “optimize” costs by limitting your Torrent traffic.

How do you know if your P2P traffic is limitted?

There is a tool, called Glasnost, that check if your ISP is manipulating your torrent traffic. The test runs BitTorrent and TCP downloads as well as uploads on a well-known BitTorrent port and a non-BitTorrent port. The test takes for about 7 minutes.

I took the test and … good news: it seems that my ISP does not limit my torrent traffic. Maybe it is related to the fact that I rarely use BitTorrent.

Anyway, you should take the test and check your traffic limitations.
