They may also only throttle when you've hit a certain limit. For quest, I
know they're only throttling P2P, because I can still do FTP at the full
150k. I've tried forcing encryption on the P2P with a little success, but
I'm not fully sure about that yet. Could be because I took a break and used
ftp instead of p2p.

Subject: Re: Cox slowing torrents?
I realize they have both been reportedly filtering and slowing torrents for
some time (in fact I think all ISPs reportedly do), but I've only really
noticed it since last night. I was chugging along maintaining about
120-140kBps up as usual and all of a sudden everything dropped off and I
couldn't get anything up over 10kBps. I've had Cox for over a year now and
it's the first time I've have any issue like that.
I changed my ports around and checked some sites and none of the tests came
back positive for filtering. Now, all of a sudden, I'm back up to 120kBps
again. I still have no idea if it was me or them...
Thanks for the feedback though.
