Default Re: torrent client issue

I tend to think a lot of it is this new deep packet inspection equipment that is being installed for the purposes of the 6 strikes program. I don't do torrents any more, especially public ones. I too from time to time see the bad gateway error. I'm no where near NO. I would guess it is a latency problem with the signal delayed long enough to make a difference in connections. One thing you could look at that might help you, is the geolocation of where you are getting the drop outs at. I've found that most of mine happen when the connection is across the pond.

One other thing you should be aware of with torrents. A recent article, which is posted here on DTD, mentions that roughly ⅓ of the IP man-in-the-middle collectors are making it through IP blockers such as PeerGuardian and Protowall. So if you torrent at public sites 3 times, odds say you've been recorded, especially if it is an infringing work. The same is not being seen for cyberlockers as they don't man-in-the-middle very easily.
