Second problem is thatUnless you set Xunlei to share the files then many clients will ban you and not connect to you. Public torrents like Minova or Piratebay should be OK, but more and more traffic is now via the private trackers. The trackers are usually the private ones having the best torrents. Two things against that – first problem is that some trackers and some clients now ban Xunlei as a leech (downlaod but no upload). There is also a problem of Xunleis default settings which I am told do not let it share – ie it is a leech machine. That is bad because then your rapidshare downlaods will be hit as well. In other cases, the ISP even checks port 80 and does the same throttling. To bypass this throttling, Xunlei uses port 80 which is the port your browser uses. Comcast in the US were the first to do this, and that case is in court, but many “cheap” ISPs now do the same. Throttling is when your ISP detects P2P protocol on standard BT ports they automatically reduce your downlaod speed to something rediculously slow. What it does do is to attempt to bypass “throttling” of BT by your ISP. Any decent bt client like Microtorrent will find all available up to the limit of connections that your OS (usually 10 or 20 connections for X, though there is a hack to remove that limit). It does not increase your speed by finding more sources – that is impossible. I think people are misunderstanding Xunlei.
