I'm using port 1720 bromora. Its not the default torrent prot. I am using this port coz its rumoured to be Roger's VOIP port (all these problems started when Rogers started VOIP service as they need more upload speed for this service, :( bfr this Rogers was the best u could get in Toronto) Rogers wont admit tht they r using ne kind of traffic shaping boxes though. Thanx for ur advice. More ideas plz guyz
