Teksavvy and Bittorrent

[JoeHill]

Hi all,

Finally got around to signing up for Teksavvy, no more dealing with the robots
at Sympatico, yay!

Having some of the same issues with my connection and wondering if all of them
are to do with the fact that the physical connection is still to Bell's
hardware.

In particular, I am finding that Bittorrent in problematic. With Sympatico I
was showing in Azureus as being firewalled a lot of the time, and download
speeds are really slow. This is seemingly continuing with Teksavvy. Uploads are
incredibly slow, or nonexistent, usually meaning that something is preventing
incoming connections altogether, IIRC.

Anyone have any experience with this, or know how I could test on my end what
might be interfering? I know that with Sympatico I was frequently showing
problems with my upstream bandwidth, and this is something I'm going to have
Teksavvy check into, but if there's some tool I can try on my end to see what's
going on, that would be cool too.

Thanks!
