>Torrents download faster if you watch them- 0 post shown.
Don't think so.

But here's a mindfuck! Torrents that are stalled tend to download faster if you have another torrent that's being downloaded and it's going faster.

I've observed the above SO MANY TIMES! Something is definitely going on.

I believe that this is because ISP deep packet inspection (and maybe throttling??) is the cause of the slow-down in the first place and when you have a faster torrent, something changes in their algorithm.

holy fuck i'm not crazy, definitely noticed this, seems to happen on some trackers more than on others though

I've noticed it on all kinds of trackers. I don't think the tracker matters at all. I've also noticed it with all kinds of torrent clients... deluge, qB, uT, Transmission etc. That's why I don't think this behavior is related to clients or trackers at all and has to do with ISPs, caching, throttling, deep packet inspection or something like that.

The effect is very real! You're not crazy at all.

>>58097083
Yes, you're not crazy, ISP's are controlling your torrent usage deliberately faggot, there's a thing called transparent proxies.

>>58096983
Quantum physics concurs with your observation.

I have a 10gbps connection and I have a 3 second refresh rate on my web panel therefore I never see them download

I don't know why but that made me laugh for a good 5 minutes. Thank you anon, I guess I'll hang myself some other time.

I can also confirm this

>>58097049
You can also fix issues like that by turning your speed limit on and off

How does one search boobpedia? Do you draw the boobs and their search engine finds the match on who they belong to?

Encryption increases the size of everything,
most people have bandwidth caps,
encrypting kills the bandwith alot faster.

>>58103432
Most people don't have bandwidth caps.

>>58097049
have found this to be true in general on the internet. When I'm trying to watch a youtube vid and its loading slow as fuck. Most of the time if I simply start downloading something else/watching another youtube vid/anything that asks for a bit more bandwidth, suddenly it starts going smoothly

it has nothing to do with encryption. even if you turn it on, ISPs can still detect torrents based on the header of handhshake packets.

american here, if you need super fast internet or "unlimited" internet, you are doing something illegal.

What if you download a shit ton of games from steam and watch 4k youtube at the same time?

>>58097049
this happened to me while getting something from dc++, it would NOT go over 50kps unless I was dling something else

>>58104278
4k isnt popular so that isnt reasonable. If youre spending that much on games then you shouldnt mind the overage fees.
If that is too much for you, then just use the cable that you hd to get bundled with your internet service.
