Here is one recent Hip show:

Hipman and tomcat9 often upload torrents and seed for a long time on etree. i think they have turned on quite a few to the hip that wouldn't otherwise have ever heard them. i got all of the sixer tapes from there. i used check it quite often but now mostly just stick to chris' tracker for hip shows.

I know there have been some issues with this and I know Chris has asked people to stop seeding so that others can seed, so he is trying to help in this area as well. I know if I'm seeding something in the moring than it'll run until I get home from work, for the most part I jump off when I hit 1.00, unless there aren't many seeders.

I'm no expert on this but maybe your client isn't reporting properly to the tracker? Sometimes it takes until your next login to update.

How much data did you upload? What percentage of your total uploads does it represent?
As well, if your client is not configured to accept peers only from the tracker, the tracker will not capture all of your stats. Some clients allow connections directly from other clients - these are the ones that the tracker cannot track.
Get it? :lol:

Do you use a router and if so have you port forwarded?

Thanks for the suggestion! Previously I was getting maximum upload speeds of about 4 kb/s... now I'm getting 40 kb/s. Guess that's why I was having problems maintaining my ratio.

Get it? :lol: It was the Lewiston show, and I guess it was about 500mbs. And I you're probably right about the percentage. Thats probably the problem.
S'all good :jump

Thanks. I'm having some trouble with the section regarding the IP address of my router. It's far too late to be figuring that out now though. :roll: I'll have another go, another time.
Thanks for the link though, srb.

One thing you may consider in attempting to thwart bandwidth throttling by your ISP is to tunnel your traffic through an SSH session (SSH stands for secure shell, kinda like telnet)
If you've got a host that you can SSH into, you can tunnel (piggyback) any and any traffic over your SSH connection.
The reason this works is because SSH is encrypted and it appears that the traffic is traveling on port 22. This worked for me on shaw before I switched to telus (who, as far as I can tell, does not throttle).
If you need more information on how to do this, try googling for ssh tunneling.
Hope this helps

That's a great idea Gordon... It's got me wondering if I should switch back to Rogers from Sympatico?? For the same price Rogers provides a 6meg connection vs 3meg for Sympatico.
