Bitcomet is unusable in Malaysia

BitComet BitComet General Discussion

Hi all…me too experiencing unusual download speed drop in Malaysia

As paparaaaapa recent new post “ISP Blocked Bitcomet” StreamyX is Malaysia Main ISP Broadband Provider. There are a lot of Malaysia Citizens suffering the same problem also…Is it Malaysia banned p2p recently…??

Basically, my bitcomet download speed drop from 100+kbs to 1-5 kbs…and some even 0 kbs and keep on disconnecting… >_<"

Technically

(1) all other internet usage are not effected except bitcomet downloads.

(2) individual file download health can reach 1000+ %, but download speed only 0-5 kbs, and 0 kbs most of the time.

(3) all ISP broking solution (Encryption, Firewall Configuration, NAT..) is ON, but no use at all.

(4) there are plenty of download peers (2000+) but only 0-3 (seeds), and these seeds just keep on disconnecting…and stay on 0 seeds in most of the time.

(5) …still searching…

Conclusion, bitcomet already cannot be use in Malaysia ? or there are still any solution left ?? :frowning:

Well, did you try the prt forwarding on your router? Say if you are using a router. Well, i am sure new tech will overwhelming this matter soon. Behold dude, it is just the matter of time only, don be too sad about it then.

hi there! I am from PJ and don’t experience any significant problem. I am using 1MB download package.

I notice that the download speed depends on the time of the day. The best time is after midnight for the type of files that I am downloading (your experience may be different from mine). 11am until midnight are not so good for downloading. Also at this time there are not that many people connected, result in even slower speed. There was one period of time (about 10 days) that I experienced extremely slow speed after midnight (completely opposite of my usual experience), but later it was back to normal. How long have you experienced slow speed? Could it be line problem?

If it is a new download, it is quite slow at the beginning. It is normal that download speed is slow if the percentage of completion is less than 10% or higher than 90%.

If the seeds come and go, it doesn’t matter. The most important field is the HEALTH. A health of every 100 means there is 1 complete copy. Besides, sometimes seeds send out lots of data, sometimes seeds send out very few data, depends on the torrent. Don’t ask me why but it’s how it works. So, a seed is not a must.

Anyway, I have heard of many people complain about slow speed using BC, but I am not sure if intentional blocking exists or not.

Hi, Regarding this. The most common reason torrents are slow, is users that run multiple torrents.

Most of us have limited upload bandwidth, so we cannot send enough data to the swarm to support more then one torrent. If we do, then everyone that connects to us, we get little or nothing from us.

It is much better to run one torrent, when its done seeding, stop it and run your next.

Suspect

ps. If all your torrents always run slow, then it could be throttling, or a problem with your settings.

lyner,

I am experiencing the same thing for a few days. At first i though it was my computer problem but then i think maybe tmnet is throlling down bt speed :frowning:

7

me in sarawak also same

a new torent have 7000+ of health, 300 connecting peers, 30+ seeds, but the speed 1-5 kB/s.

i can see connected peer , but no upload and download speed. bitcomet encrytion doesnt work at all. how to slove this problem?

8

I am facing the same problem and this problem is really gettin on my nerves as all my downloads depend upon Bitcomet… Please help us !!

I wish to concur with lyner and some of my countrymen’s (maybe with the exception of goody’s) findings.

It was a big contrast to what I usually get from BitComet since Monday 13th. No more double

digits dl/ul rates in which all along I’ve taken them for granted. For someone already grown so

accustomed to BitComet, it is clear that the rates are now seldom beyond 5 kBps. Imagine the pain

having to see other peers with double-digits rates (some even with 3 digits) with mine plodding

alongside.

I’ve taken the initiative of uninstalling and reinstalling 0.70, plus replacing the ZA firewall

with that of OUtpost, but still to no avail as there was no marked improvement. It was the same for

whatever torrent I’ve tried: the results were relatively dismal. I’d already be in peace if the

rates are in the 10-15kBps region by the time of the 35% file mark with respect to my 512/256kbps.

Out of curiousity, I’ve installed/ran Azureus and utorrent to see if things would turn out

differently. Inspite of healthy green NATs, those two clients still give similar results as that

of BitComet: single digit performance.

I’ll go along with lyner to say that other internet activities, such as surfing, FTP download and

video streaming, seem to be unaffected. I used to switch-on Kazaa once in a while just to break

the monotony, and it was OK before Monday 13th. I’m afraid Kazaa is already unusable now as it

disconnects itself too frequently.

:frowning:

Yes, I have to concur the above problem!

I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (ISP: Streamyx)

This has been a problem since one month ago.

Here is the data from one of my downloads:

Health: Between 900% to 2,200%

Total Downloaded: 276MB

Total Uploaded: 829MB

Average Download Rate: 1KB/s within 59:00:00

Average Upload Rate: 3KB/s within 59:00:00

  1. Concur that it keeps disconnecting with BitComet, many times over an hour.

  2. Concur that it download speed is between 0 to 5kB/s even with a very good health

  3. My download is much slower than my upload, that is strange, never had that before, usually it is download faster than upload. Refer to the above data.

Block by authorities or ISP?? :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

If you keep disconnecting with BitComet, are you using version 0.70? 0.70 is the stable one. If you are using version above 0.70, you should uninstall it and replace it with version 0.70

My download is usually slower than my upload ever since I use BC. I am using 1MBps package. Upload rate is often at 40KB/s. Download rate is usually less than that. By the way, I set Global Max Download Rate & Global Max Upload Rate as NO LIMIT

There is no use trying to solve the slow down as tm streamyx has started to throttled our downloads, they do it very unfairly. Once they identify your account has been downloading p2p materials, they will throttled your account. For me, I am a lite user, but unfortunately my account has been throttled. Few of my friends(very heavy user) are fortunate that their account wasn’t touched. The only way to solve this problem is to switch ISP, but unfortunately, we only have tmnet monopoly. I understand that Digi has started an internet package which I strongly feel will take over our present tmnet monopoly.

so guys and gals, get ready to switch ISP if your dead streamyx problem persist, no point going for a buffet and they only allow you the appetizer only

13

Gosh!.. in that case the ISP in Malaysia would know who we are… Since we have heavy downloading traffic in our IP address. :frowning: Anyway, we paid for the access, we are short changed as customers. :-x

14

If the only ISP Broadband Provider in the country is throttling Bitcomet,

is there a solution temporary or permanent??? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

hi, Im malaysian from selangor pj, and im usin’ 512kb yea half of streamyx 1m connection. 512/8 = 64KB and most of the time my downloading speed is 50-60 kb/s. So its not true that tmnet blocking bitcomet or BT, our isp love bitcomet.

EDIT: Not all task can reach max downloading speed, depends on tracker and peers. some task only 1-5 KB/s, try something else.

Can i post a torrent file here to let them try?

2 tasks here

about 9am GTM+8 fed-up give up

this is the 2nd task. And i upload a lot, contribute a lil bit

16

The whole country already compalining, you must be blind, count yourself being lucky your BT is not throttled. Call 1-300-88-9515 and tell them you are downloading p2p and see what they’ll do to your account.

Good luck.

I think Dinois either work for StreamyX Malaysia only ISP Broadband Provider or he/she is lucky not to be throttled.

I have just install an antithrottle software and after sometime of downloading it tell me I am being throttled as my

connection MAC address has being changed.

The connection was continuosly disconnected then reconnected with the same message. I then stop the antithrottle

software and the disconnection stop but now I can only get local initiation with no more remote connection.

The download speed also drop from 50Kb/s to 3 – 4Kb/s. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Same question is there a solution temporary or permanent??? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Edit : I get my antithrottle software from http://www.dosdragon.com/antithrottle.zip
