Hi yall,

I am sorry to hear that you may be more victims of Rogers Cable company,,

Below is a link with port numbers that some have been tested and worked while others have not been tested but may well work. Have a look at them and give some of them a try.

https://forum.winmxworld.com/index.php?topic=1206

If you need help with changing port numbers for WinMX look here:

https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/changing_port_numbers.html

Also dont forget that in your router you may require the changes there also, and your firewall, especially if your using XP..

Let me know if this helps ya.

I too have had bad problems with My Winmx all of my downloads time out after about a minute......the one thing that I do know is that Rogers was making super downloaders, buy a business pack that would give you unlimited usage with 5 gig speed..they were starting to cut off people and warn people with any monthly usage of 650 gigs or more...I know I work FOR ROGERS...but don't blame me I JUST COLLECT A PAYCHECK EVERY 2 WEEKS.the thing that I don't know how they can do it...it is because I also download from several Bit Torrent sites and the bandwidth is fine...i have tried every patch available and tried to configure everything......the only thing I can suggest and I will try to find out from the experts there, I think there is a filter built in to the Yahoo browser....there is something in your REGISTRY installed by Rogers/Yahoo, that if you delete it from there things should go back to normal.....will post it here IF THEY TELL ME

Beatles I and every Rogers customer thank you for making this post, you might have felt some frustraited folks would take that companies policies out on you, and still posted.. THANKS..of course we realise your not in control of company policy.

Any information you have that would be helpful is great.. look forward to hearing from you..

I too am a Rogers customer and have been experiencing the same crap as everyone else. Art's fix seems to be working for now, but Rogers will get an earful from me too just before I cancel.

Thanks for all the info, guys.

Ok have a website for great reading on the Rogers bandwidth capping issue, they have (throttle boxes) in certain areas of the Full Rogers system
Addressed this to a higher source at work and was told that really only around 1-2% of Rogers High speed customers (HOG) THE BANDWIDTH..so it was explained to me that with the risk of loosing that percentage of those over users, it would be a small lost and a bigger gain for the other 98% of customers.(we are talking in the amount estimated at 1-1 1/2 million)..they have over exceeded their expectations of how many customers using the full plant Cable/Internet/Phone...so for those of you that are pissed at not getting your downloads to stop timing out, I'm afraid for now thay want you to leave

I am using Shaw, Alberta. Today, I am having problem uploading, uploading speed never goes beyond 2 kb/s or just drops rapidly, even without throttling. I am using WinMx 3.53 and 3.31, none of them works. Is Shaw doing any throttling? Can anyone in Alberta or western Canada confirm this.

Frustrated!

Sorry, posted the message to the wrong thread!

Me Here · « **Reply #29 on:** January 12, 2006, 05:07:03 am »

Yes WinMX User,
In some areas Shaw is also throttling and filtering.

Its best to follow the advice of other Shaw and Rogers users and change your ports.

1720 TCP and 3339 UDP have worked for many of them. Remember these have to be changed in WinMx, Firewalls (like XP), routers before they will work.

Give them a try and let me know, or if you need help setting them just hollar.

WinMX user · « **Reply #30 on:** January 12, 2006, 08:11:39 am »

Thanks for your reply and I did the port settings you suggested but didn't work. I "talked" to Shaw, once again, they said they didn't do anything. ..... (right!)

Hello All,

I have been struggling with this Rogers problem for weeks, have just found out what you have already experienced.

Is there any recent news on this subject?

Thanks.

No Trader to my knowledge there is no new information, the only changes that I am aware of are that Rogers and Shaw seem to still be widening the area this is happening in, because we get more and more new users in sperts of every three months or so with this problem. The only real solution that I have seen is to move to a DSL company in your area...

A few users have had luck with the ports being changed but honestly not as many as have not had any luck doing so.

https://forum.winmxworld.com/index.php?topic=1206.0.html

There is the list if you would like to try some yourself and see if you have some good results...

Ontera who use the Rogers backbone here where I live have issued a public statement saying that they do not cap or limit downloads and I have to say that where as before my downloads would start then slow down and time out, that is now no longer the case.

Perhaps the negative publicity has forced Rogers wireless to think again and improve there service. If they had the bandwidth they would not need to throttle it in the first place!

So I am back to normal speeds without changing anything... I use the WinMX standard defaults once more for connection.

Thank you both for your reply. I will be visiting the local DSL outlet tonight to check out prices, services, etc.

Yes that is one way to change Roger's policy, though I often notice DSL users are not as fast as cable for downloads from myself.

Quazzy · « **Reply #36 on:** April 08, 2006, 07:19:20 am »

Certainly not the best news one could expect, but here it is anyway.

At this moment I have both Bell and Rogers.

Bell: Every p2p I have tried seems to work fine, { WinMx, Bearshare, Limewire, etc........} When the ISP is providing service. They seem to try and control P2P by constantly disconnecting, reconnecting their clients. And of course the BW is not as advertised.
But things seem to work well in WinMx, when my service isn't cutting out.

Rogers: WinMx does not work and if you find a port that does work. It won't for long. Rogers has targeted WinMx users. Maybe other P2P programs as well. I do know that Bearshare, Limewire, etc... (Maybe more) DO work on Rogers. Even private networks running older versions of WinMx do not work on Rogers. This could only mean that there is some identifier in WinMx transfers that triggers Rogers to throttle down to 0.

Got Me, I'm keeping Bell (DSL) and getting rid of Rogers. The thieves. All of them!!!

any other ISP in your area that doesn't start messing with your connection when you're using winmx? because that would be even better than bell!

Out of curiosity, how are you guys "talking" to your Rogers/Shaw overlords without using the words "illegal downloading off ressurected p2p networks"? I want to call mine too, maybe enact some positive action of some sort, but I'm really having trouble figuring out how to do it without tipping them off as to what I want to do.

Unless someone's already talked to Rogers in the northeast Toronto/Scarborough area.

OK Guys, I live in Northern Ontario and use the Ontera cable based service. I was wrong when I said this was on the Rogers Backbone, rather it is Persona who provide the core service, so perhaps that is why I am not effected. I am using port 7025 for incoming connections and everything is fine.
