Re: Feedback for WISE

Torrents were working on the Wise box last night. 140-150 kB/s from 2.30 a.m till 7 a.m. Also I'm getting low pings to beirut server ( 59 ms now on speedtest) . And yes browsing speed is now way better and I'm able to stream youtube videos in 360p without buffering , even sometimes in 480p. Direct browser downloads improved too, downloading now at 100-120 kB/s without download accelerator.  Good job @longbit :)

@longbit
We have a Wise dsl connection (6 to 8 Mbps plan), browsing is ok, but torrent downloads are not working at all. It is a new subscription so I cannot comment if it was always like this. Support was not very helpful but for sure they are blocking something!
Edit :trying to download ubuntu 14.04 iso torrent, no connection at all. Tracker not connected with error requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker.
Tried the same torrent on another connection (idm) and it is working just fine

Re: Feedback for WISE

@longbit Okay sent you a PM.
I also sent to the support team a recorded video showing that when I connect to my VPN I am able to reach the maximum download speed I have and they replied "we are checking it, yet there is no estimated time for the solution"

Re: Feedback for WISE

Guys, the torrent is not a way to know what you have speed! Certain peers or seeds tend to block certain IP address ranges or allow certain ranges. In that way, when you use VPN you might be registered to the allowed bulk of IPs that gives you higher download speed. If you want to download a big file and know your exact speed download any windows file for example directly from microsoft.com

Re: Feedback for WISE

@ahk40a lol man it is impossible that every single torrent with the highest possible seeders you can find on all trackers reaches a max speed of 5kb/sec! but when connecting to another ISP (tested with Ogero and IDM) or VPN it reaches the full speed given.
I know that when I direct download I get full speed but not with torrents. Google torrent throttling...

It's not that. They KNOW that there is a "problem" with the torrents. I've been downloading the same series, season by season, from the same torrent, it used to download perfectly fine before until the last couple of weeks.

@DANGER Hotspot Shield, but this is not a solution, browsing becomes a bit laggy like when checking Outlook, so I hope WISE will fix this asap.

Cool! I just installed the trial and as soon as I turn it on, torrent downloads shoot to full speed. Still nothing from @longbit, though...

This is getting ridiculous, I can barely load a 240p video on youtube. And I have the 2MB unlimited package.

Re: Feedback for WISE

I'm able to play 360p youtube videos on the WiseBox (wireless) without any problem since last week, even 480p most of the time.. It's weird it seems that the Wise wireless connections are now better than dsl...

Re: Feedback for WISE

I called them today expecting to see some progress or updates but the staff told me that torrents' speed is slowed down when there is high traffic on the network, I wanted to laugh so badly enno seriously? I told him I don't think so because it's like this all day (yes with a v. big number of seeders when he asked) and that when I use my vpn it reaches full speed, and that direct downloads where never or barely affected by what he called high traffic. Then he was confused and said that this is what they think. I don't blame him but the higher team of support because you really want us to believe such a thing "da8et 3al chabakeh" instead of saying that you're working on it...
I'm very disappointed. I was used to a very high quality of support from WISE but now they're letting us down.
