I guess this is quit an old one for a lot people but as you might not now, in France a new law is making P2P Encryption popping in first page news.

The governement will force the ISPs to monitor P2P trafic an report it. After 2 mail telling you that you are Uploading illegal material, they will cut your Internet connection for a period of 3 months to a full year !!!

So, my question is simple, is this encryption protocol efficient enough in the ISPs are looking for this kind of trafis ?
If not, is there anoter and (or) better way to encrypt your P2P trafic?

Thx again and pardon my English… I’m French :p

So, I have to shape them completely. I’d love to just shape their BitTorrent so that they can still use Skype, HTTP and everything as they wish, but since BitTorrent attempts to snake its way around the shaping, there is no other way than to shape the entire port on the switch down to a limit where I feel everyone else will be fine even if that bandwidth is used 24/7.

The point is really that sometimes such restrictions are in place for a reason. At the end of the day you shouldn’t use a service for something that causes problems for others.

I have showed you the way to protect files and folders with Folder Protector 5.0. Have you take action to protect your confidential files and folders? Well, its all depends on your needs. But I highly recommend you to protect them or at least encrypt t…

Sympatico now uses whitelist-based throttling and whenever someone else in the house is using BitTorrent, Subversion, DCC file send, and anything encrypted that doesn’t seem to be HTTPS will time out.

I read above that someone had been receiving letters from their cable company about their bandwidth usage. I have been using bit torrent for many years now and have never had a complaint from my ISP. In late January, a letter was sent to our old house that we have been trying to sell, saying something to the affect of knowing that “we” had been downloading illegal content and that they would like us to stop. I did not receive this letter, because my dad was the one who picked it up and did not show it to me. He’s rather ignorant regarding all of this stuff, so he probably crapped his pants. Still, I’m pretty sure it was a complaint regarding the bandwidth usage because I bought a 500 gig HD and I used it to its full abilities.

My question is: After 4-5 years of using torrents and receiving no complaints from my ISP, was the letter probably due to the large amount of stuff I acquired due to my 500 gig HD? I hardly ever acquire large amounts of stuff in such a short span of time and I’d like to be able to download here and there without fear of being “clipped” for the act of downloading with BT.

I am not being throttled in any way by my ISP, but after receiving a letter, I am now paranoid to download anything.

I guess I’m looking for some reassurance from people that know more about this stuff than I do.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out.
