In Great Britain, TalkTalk used to limit a third of all BitTorrent traffic, but this was reduced significantly by the end of They now only slow down BitTorrent during peak hours which resulted in a 12 percent throttling rate early A quick look at some other countries shows that in Australia none of the large ISPs were throttling BitTorrent traffic heavily in , and the same can be said for Sweden and France.
Those who are interested in seeing how their own ISP performs can take a look at the full dataset at deeppacket. The researchers promise to release more recent data in the future, and it will be interesting to see how the various throttling habits of ISPs develop. For those who have a choice, which us unfortunately not always the case, the data can definitely help to make an informed decision when signing up at a new Internet Provider.

You will usually see cats dancing to the beautiful tunes sung by him. More by Ankush Das. Wait, what? Yes, you heard it right. I'm highly doubting that an ISP is targeting a private server of a 13 year old game, targeting it seriously enough to send threatening emails to people. No, playing on private servers is not illegal.
You are not breaking the law. Hosting the server is illegal, playing on it is not. That email you got is a blatant scam. If Blizzard wanted to shut down private servers, they would do it themselves, instead of telling ISPs to send threatening emails to their customers.
I did some more research on this and the email I got is exactly the same as the kind Comcast sends its users for copyright infrigement by downloading illegal music and movies on bit torrent I didnt get a notification for downloading the client 3 weeks ago when I started playing If you got a letter, it is for seeding the WoW client.
It probably takes 3 weeks to get the letter, plus it sounds like you don't really know what you are doing so I wouldn't be surprised if you are still seeding it right now, lol. Could always just ignore the stupid letters they send. They never follow up with anything and never have disconnected me after like 30 or so of them over the past 3 years.
Used to work for them, they're just dumb letters that won't be followed through with. IF they do follow through, which I doubt, just say that someone must've "hacked into your network" because "you have no idea what they're talking about.
But yeah, make sure you're not seeding any torrents. Was your letter that specific and said Elysium? If so, that's weird. They're normally very generic. The dissenting Republicans said they did not receive the final text of the order until late last night--it apparently includes a variant of a "strict scrutiny" test usually reserved to judge whether government policies are legal or not--and it is not yet public.
Commissioner calls ruling unlawful In an unusually pointed dissent, Commissioner Robert McDowell, a Republican, said the FCC's ruling was unlawful and the lack of legal authority "is sure to doom this order on appeal. The is the FCC's "journey into the realm of the unknowable," McDowell said, saying that the outcome "may result in slower online speeds" for most Americans. The Commission announced its intention to exercise its authority to oversee federal Internet policy in adjudicating this and other disputes regarding discriminatory network management practices with dispatch, and its commitment in retaining jurisdiction over this matter to ensure compliance with a proscribed plan to bring Comcast's discriminatory conduct to an end.
To the extent that Comcast fails to comply with the steps set forth in the Order, interim injunctive relief automatically will take effect requiring Comcast to suspend its discriminatory network management practices and the matter will be set for hearing. Free Press hailed the vote as a "landmark" decision.
