Thanks Maxim. They were OK in the begining. And what about the following things: 1. Change ports, like 60000 something random? 2. Encryption I can do in ftp. 3. Some kind of tunneling that traffic will be recognized as legit http. 4. Proxy?
I also have a linksys router. When I experienced the packet loss it was on a hot server. adsl gives support to linux? The only thing is that adsl is much more expensive. what p2p work with encryption? I mainly use dc++.
