Dialog Blocking p2p ? I found a HACK !!

Ok.. Now that I've used this connection for some more time, thought to upload some more info. Fair enuf ????

In an earlier post, I talked about the new Dialog HomeNet connection and also mentioned that there seems to be a problem with p2p. Well I was right. I've tried the same torrent using utorrent with the HomeNet connection and an ADSL connection. Here are the results

ADSL - DL speed goes up to about 50kBps. Starts very quickly
HomeNet - DL starts after about 5mins of opening utorrent. Speed rarely hits 10kBps. Very few seeds and peers (if at all)


The problem
Well, I've looked every where to find a solution. tried messsing up with the firewall to add rules for not filtering utorrent traffic and all, but it didn't seem to be working. Then a GOOD friend of mine pointed out that I'm not getting connected to any of the Dynamic trackers in utorrent except for the DHT and Peer Exchange. The I started googling to figure out why.

Guess what I figured. Dialog ARE limiting my p2p traffic. You see trackers use well known TCP ports such as 6969 and 2710. I knew that Dialog had the equipment to detect such traffic and then limit the traffic for such apps only, while not limiting the bandwidth for normal http. (talk about DEEP packet Inspection). But I never thought that they are using it to this level.

The SOLUTION
Enough with the BS. So how to solve this. The best method is to encrypt the torrent traffic from your p2p client. This might hit a bit hard on your CPU, but thats not much of a prob. This makes it a lot harder to Dialog to identofy your p2p traffic. I've tried this out and it worked instantly for me. and now i'm hitting speeds up to 50KBps. Here is a good discription as to how to do this in utorrent, azuraus and BitComet

There is another way. That is to download a not so popular torrent client. I've downloaded one known as " Deluge " . Though have not tried it yet. Will try and keep you posted.
