Why would one torrent from one's own local network
That is a moron stupid idea:banghead:

Reason its moron stupid is
if its on your own local network you already have the file
Most local networks are on the usual default setting of 192.168.0.***

world of warcraft uses it quite nicely, so that you dont have to download the patch 10 times if you have 10 gamers in the same location.
same clearly applies for places like school dorms, university dorms, or anywhere with large, shared networks.

I know i'm supposed to be impartial as a moderator, but you made a rather "moron stupid" comment there and its annoyed me.

Darling, I have no offensive-enough words in my vocabulary to REALLY make you feel hurt.

WELL, I just saw your reply. Ignore the previous one. I'm drunk.

Local networks have significantly more speed than what ANY ISP provides anywhere.

10.x.x.x is a class A private network, which means that it is probably within your own network unless your ISP has you behind a NAT, in which case it could be somebody physically close to you. Either way, if you see a connection to such an IP address, it means the host is very close to your computer.

I really don't understand this part. Please elaborate.

A great example of this is cell phones on 3G and 4G. You get an IP address from the provider's DHCP server in a private subnet (one that isn't visible to the internet) but then there is one (or several) external IP addresses on the internet that get shared. The idea is that there are only so many IP addresses on IPv4, so using private subnets mitigates the "lack of IP addresses" issue with respect to network size. NAT (network address translation) is simply a means of traffic routing within a private network. All traffic coming in from the internet doesn't really know what's within a private network, therefore routers need to be able to re-map traffic between the two networks; that is what NAT does.

What I'm saying could be happening, is if the OP is behind a NAT on a private network, it's possible that one of the peers is also on the same private network and it was detected via some mechanism other than the tracker itself, such as DHT or a local network scan.

I hope that was a half-decent explanation.

If you have a smart phone, check the local network IP for 3G/4G. It's going to be a private subnet. If an ISP has more customers than IPs it has access to, they'll start using a private network just like cellular networks. If that's the case, you could be downloading from someone with the same ISP on the same private subnet.

This is my way of saying: Keep your attitude in check before complaining about something you obviously know little about.

So if he is at college he gets great speed from other students but throdled from outside the network

Another excellent example of an "ISP" (the college) using a private network behind a NAT. They're all over the place.

Actually I do know the network theory. What I failed to understand are the specific portions in your comment:

10.x.x.x is a class A private network, which means that it is probably within your own network unless your ISP has you behind a NAT, in which case it could be somebody physically close to you. Either way, if you see a connection to such an IP address, it means the host is very close to your computer.

If you see his earlier comment, where he mentioned the IPs available to him, you"ll see that only the host part he omitted. So it means all those IPs are within his network and subnet. Utorrent scans for local peers if the user wants.

Anyway, none of those are from the "internet". So, obviously he gets good speeds from his local peers only.

Time for a port scan. May be not forwarding properly. Also, if the ISP is causing the problems then I would try open vpn with servers listed at vpn gate.

As soon as you open a UDP port, you will get scanned like mad. Doesn't matter if what you are downloading is legal or not. You will get nailed. Use Peerblock for one. It will block scanners, and possibly lower latency.

Not always. Some ISPs use NAT to split up a single IP to an area of customers. Example, the data connection on your cell phone. It's a bit unlikely, but there could be someone virtually nearby who has the same file.
10.x.x.x is a class A private network, which means that it is probably within your own network unless your ISP has you behind a NAT, in which case it could be somebody physically close to you. Either way, if you see a connection to such an IP address, it means the host is very close to your computer.

Read my mind. Very nice explanation too.
Do you have "a Friend" with broadband (same or preferably different ISP )
You may try your Pc on his connection to see what the results are
Take a Case of beer with you to drink with him ( it helps )
Need another friend? :laugh:

Thanks guys ... for trying to understand my issue ...
but unfortunately.. my GPU has gone bad... right now using a temporary GPU from a friend... but facing some heating issues ..
so not able to concentrate on the download issue..

As of now trying to sort out the GPU and heating problem....

I will get back .. once these are solved ...
