- Limit your upload rate
Note: Mind the speed units it may be given in kilobits per second (kb/sec) or kilobytes per second (kB/sec).
1 kilobyte = 8 kilobit
- Experiment with Protocol Encryption
With protocol encryption, ISPs find it difficult if not impossible to detect that the traffic is coming from BitTorrent. Experiment with enabled, disabled and forced options because you could be getting better speeds with encryption disabled. Non-encryption makes a torrent connection compatible with someone who is not using encryption but as a minus it makes the torrent detectable to an ISP with a bandwidth restricting policy.
