Cox.net Blocking Gnutella Uploads It seems Cox is now blocking Gnutella uploads. I have tried with LimeWire and Bearshare and same thing. The last time I checked was ~6 months ago and worked then. I have outgoing and incomming messaging traffic working fine but when someone tries to upload any of my shared files it will immediatly get connection error. One other funny thing is the vast majority of peer connectioin are outgoing with the few incoming connections only to cox.net peers. I heard of a new filtering/blocking software that ISPs can run that will inspect each packet to determine it's payload and block if Gnutella upload. Has anyone else heard of this? What can be done to save Gnutella from this most serious threat? I am hoping the Gnutella client/protocol developers can somehow get around this problem. If anyone knows of a Gnutella client that has this fixed, please let me know. -Kent |

See ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire These ISP's that do block or shape the bandwidth to Gnutella use special programs that detect p2p software. AFAIK there's not a lot we can do. You can try proxies which have worked for some people but proxies are trial & error from the feedback I've received. You may need to try many proxies before one works. There's an off-shoot link to using proxies in the above link (under Insight.) |

I tried using different ports such as 3000 and 27000 and still had U/L's blocked. Since they seem to be inspecting each outgoing packet to look for Gnutella file U/L, I do not think a proxy server will help. I did sign the Cox petition. |
