I'm also with Videotron, but sometimes I feel like they might be throttling my torrents, as my torrents are going at 100 kB/s when it used to fly at around 900 kB/s.

I guess it all depends on the seed quality.

Dammit.

Agreed. Sorry if I made it seem otherwise? I 100% support fansubs as long as the person watching it purchases the series (if it's worth the money).

]]> <![CDATA[Azureus/Vuze Says AT&T Is Pulling a Comcast, Resetting Torrents]]> Interesting, I definitely was struck by Comcast's torrent slow-down and switched to AT&T, which so far has been immeasurably better than Comcast, not just for torrents.

]]> <![CDATA[Azureus/Vuze Says AT&T Is Pulling a Comcast, Resetting Torrents]]> @mechfluff: personally, legal or not, i often find the fansubs do a better job than the companies that eventually come along and license the shows later after the fan base has already been established (read this as: i think most of them are greedy poaching bastards rather than trying to bring more entertainment to enrich our lives).

they are also tacitly tolerated when no official licensee exists because it does promote a larger fan base, which brings in more revenue from merchandising for the originating company.

in other words, find ways to support the shows you like financially, but don't feel bad about downloading fansubs of shows broadcast on network stations overseas.

]]> <![CDATA[Azureus/Vuze Says AT&T Is Pulling a Comcast, Resetting Torrents]]> I've been using At&t for a while and haven't noticed any big issues at all. Maybe my connection is just lame-slow to begin with so it's hard to notice a decrease in nothing.

Guess I'll just have to stick to legal streaming from networks.

Fansubs aren't legal unless the original program is allowed to be downloaded/uploaded/rebroadcast/whatever.

Wait, that's not a moon ...

]]> <![CDATA[Azureus/Vuze Says AT&T Is Pulling a Comcast, Resetting Torrents]]> I use AT@T. They kill my torrents. I was downloading faster using dial-up. Can someone please tell me a way around their crap?

//I'm only going to use it for legal fansubs, I swear.
