ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire
Here's an example of how a p2p bandwidth shaper can work: Bandwidth Shaper Sample - typical of how some ISP's use it (click on link) ie: giving priority to net surfing & low priorities to p2p sharing. However there are different types of filtering & filter programs that are used. One of them being Sandvine. Amongst the techniques sometimes used is port blocking of those using p2p sharing programs. Perhaps initially a detector after which a filter of some sort is applied to that particular user.


1. The 1st 3 I can add here are Insight. Insight seems to specifically target Limewire. One person found a solution (if only temporary), if you view the sticky in this section (Important!!! A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire.) See example here. AND More Proxy instructional help with specific details, links & sample


2. Tiscali is known in some locations to filter/shape p2p sharing bandwidth (ie: slow down speeds.) There's been reports on the forum & various articles online. One reference is here in 2nd last article at bottom of linked page: http://www.edri.org/issues/freedom/jurisprudence (hopefully I can find some of the original articles I read last year in 2004.)


3. Cox is known to filter p2p. Apparently they don't apply it to all people within any area, but more-so individuals. See: Problem with Cox Communications?

New reports on Cox & petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/coxports/petition.html (c- please sign this petition.) Broadband reports & also eMule forums (Thanks to KathW for the these latter Cox links)

Either others or myself will add others to this list as they come to hand. I'm aware of at least a couple of others but will need to investigate. Likewise anybody who is CERTAIN their ISP provider is blocking their service or filtering please add your isp here. (Please supply evidence 'if' available. Verification helps.)

if youneed more help go here Gnutella forums (http://forums.gnutellanews.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=22) it also has the programs u have problems with also on the home page
