my guess is atnex.net does NOT throttle bittorrent.. ( long test, 7 minutes)

Is BitTorrent traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6884) throttled?

* The BitTorrent upload (seeding) worked. Our tool was successful in uploading 
data using the BitTorrent protocol.

* There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent uploads. In 
our tests a TCP upload achieved minimal 317 Kbps while a BitTorrent upload 
achieved maximal 317 Kbps. You can find details here.

* The BitTorrent download worked. Our tool was successful in downloading data 
using the BitTorrent protocol.

* There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent downloads. 
In our tests a TCP download achieved minimal 1835 Kbps while a BitTorrent 
download achieved maximal 1961 Kbps. You can find details here.

Is TCP traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6884) throttled?

* There's no indication that your ISP rate limits all downloads at port 6884. 
In our test, a TCP download on a BitTorrent port achieved at least 1835 Kbps 
while a TCP download on a non-BitTorrent port achieved at least 1900 Kbps. 
You can find details here.

our test, a TCP upload on a BitTorrent port achieved at least 317 Kbps while 
a TCP upload on a non-BitTorrent port achieved at least 317 Kbps. You can
