Another Confirmed – Certain Cable ISP blocking P2P traffic
by Travis on Jun.01, 2008, under Tech Stuff
Ok, so today I have confirmed it.
On occasion I use the Azureus bit torrent client in order to share out or download different files with colleagues and friends of mine, depending on the situation or the type of file. Whenever I would fire up the application, I would *ALWAYS* get a notification that the client couldn’t map traffic to ports XXXX-XXXX no matter which ones I tried. The firewall was setup to allow it through to this computer always and the ports were confirmed open on remote connects however whenever the client would talk out and have it try to talk back it would ALWAYS give me the announcement that it recieved no notification back and there was a problem.
So today, being the first day I fired it up while connected to Qwest. I get no such errors any longer.
Coincidence? I think not. *sigh*
