those with enough sense to read up on protocol encryption have enabled it, as they will have read that even if they are not being throttled themselves, turning it on will let them download from throttled users, who otherwise they wouldnt be able to.
in short, enabling encryption wont slow u down. it can though, increase ur speeds, if ur throttled or not.
read that

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
Yea, i enabled (not forced) encryption as soon as it was implemented in µtorrent even though my isp does not throttle p2p traffic. Speeds weren't affected at all.

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
ive enabled it as well and havent noticed any detriment to my dl/ul speeds :)

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!

-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
You should change to uTorrent 1.6 or Azureus :)

I agree.
Though consider this when choosing between Azureus and uTorrent: if your computer (windows) bulks out of memory (2 GB and up) go for Azureus, if not, your choice shall be uTorrent.

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
well ive done it ~ not really tested it as yet but if something major happens ill be letting yas know ;)
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
I did it and haven't noticed anything at all.
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
So, is all traffic encrypted or just the header information?
If all traffic is encryptet i can't understand why speed is the same. If it same tech as on encrypted ftp then when enabling encryption of the data stream speed is reduced ALOT.

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
if u read this thread, u'll see that pretty much everyone who has turned it on has noticed 100% no slowdown, and alot have found increases
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
For the fellow above using BitComet, the lastest version supports encryption. So you don't have to switch if you don't want to.
BitComet is my choice and I have encryption on

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
I don't believe my ISP limits torrent speeds. Hope not!! Although not entirely sure how to tell... except perhaps calling them and after waiting for up to 30 mins on the phone, asking if they do or not. Any kiwi's reading this know if slingshot limits torrent speeds?
Anyway... turning on encryption now --- if it'll help other's and not negatively affect my torrent speed I'm happy to assist.

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
Alright, I turned it on - not much difference in speeds though...

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
I had been using this prior to reading this post and can confirm that it does help your speeds, but probably only when your ISP is shaping traffic/ports.

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
My ISP blocks traffic as well. Darn!
Done!

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
Didn't notice any change with encryption turned on...

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
done. everyone should do this because it will increase your upload speed too.

It will only increase your upload speed if your isp use some kind of traffic shaping
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
Everyone should enable it even if they notice no change so then others who are wanting to notice change can because they are able to connect to encrypted peers or something like that.

thats not true
if the person ur uploading to is being throttled, then both of u enabling encryption will allow them to download faster (therefor u upload faster).
it works the same with downloading. even if ur not being throttled, if u enable encryption, u can then download from throttled users (their upload can be throttled too). this will increase ur download speed, even if ur not being throttled.
enabling encryption is a win-win situation.

Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
i will do it (as should all of us) just to be ready for when all ISPs start thtrotling P2P speeds
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
Well for some reason I've started experience really slow speed since last week. I've just enabled encryption after reading this article and will post my findings soon :).
Even if I don't see any change I will leave it on.
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
i've been using it for a few weeks now and speeds are fine, so i'll just leave it enabled... other users can benefit from this, and for me it dont matter so much
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
simple solution: change ISP !!!
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
Please share is there certain ISPs who are rolling out these 'caps'? Or is it a regional thang?
-
Re: All users: please enable encryption!
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
yeh i'm a bito a noob... so like... doing this will allow other people who connect with my client to "Sneak pass" and make their ISPs think that they're just downloading a webpage or summin other than P2P... correct?
-
Re: All Users: Please Enable Encryption!
pretty much
allows them to upload to u quicker too, so even if ur not throttled it can speed u up enabling encryption
