Frequently Asked Questions
- How does BittorrentTest detects that an ISP is blocking BitTorrent?
Bittorrent Test sets up a series of BitTorrent flows between an end user's host and our test nodes. We collect the packet trace for each flow on the server side, and we closely monitor both end points for any error conditions that might cause a flow to be aborted. If a flow is aborted by a control (RST) packet that was not sent by either of the end points, we report the flow as being blocked by some ISP along its path.
