Anyone knows if an apple airport express router has that clone MAC address option?

[fouljuice]

Lul...Nah homie, flow does give me problems from time to time. Just nothing as major as tstt.

Torrents do go slow for me at times.

On one occasion when the torrents were sticking, I chose random port and forced encryption, and there was an increase, but soon after it start back sticking and no new random port or new IP/VPN would change anything. It just randomly happens and then 'fixes' over time without me calling flow. That is my personal experience.

As you and bossman say, cloning fixed your issues, but it did not fix mine each time, when it was happening.
I just making people aware, next thing they cloning and cloning and wasting their time. That is not gloating.

[volcanosnowstorm]

How do you force encryption?

[fouljuice]

In utorrent go to Options -->Preferences --> BitTorrent

and you should see "Protocol Encryption" Outgoing --> Forced

[bossmann]

You don't need to keep “cloning and cloning" as your Mac address is not dynamic. You clone it once and that's it unless you disable the cloning or reset the router.

Ahhhh, missed the dropdown amidst all the checkboxes. Thanks!
Does leaving this on all the time have any undesired effect?

No....that is why I mentioned changing the hex notation. You can keep cloning and cloning but I think after a while (or even right away) if there are no available IPs you will just get back the same one(s)

Nah not that I know of. If it doesn't fix the problem, I don't think turning it back off will improve anything.


Someone correct me if I am wrong.

[bossmann]

for those who want to know this will help explain why cloning helps and I also wouldn't recommend using just any mac address when cloning.

but....

As far as I see no ISP provides true speeds over 15mbps. Downgrade to the 10mb package

Nah. I just download a 1GB file at 2.3 - 2.5 MBps (using IDM speed limiter) while still being able to stream a 720p vid without buffering.

On stock linksys firmware: just log into your router and search for some option with MAC address/clone MAC address ---> enable---> change one (or more) of the numbers/letters to anything between A-F or 0-9 (it in Hex notation) and click Clone MAC address.

Btw I don't guarantee it to be a 100% fix for your speed issues all the time.
I have not cloned my MAC address in probably more than a year or 2 and my torrents go fast most of the time. When they go slow, I really don't know if is Flow who forking up or on the seeders' ends.

Yesterday

not by me.

I ponging game whole evening.

Last time I check (bout a week ago) I was getting around 15mbps.

Just rebooted modem

[fouljuice]

You do realise that most or all my posts are replies right?
I didn't just come out of the blue and wrote that

You forgot these too.

15Mb pumpin here

better I switch back to 5Mb

The only 'gloat' I made was wrt to downloading seasons of 24 and that wasn't even supposed to be taken seriously.
But I guess I have to watch what I say on here

As for user kerwinishere, I apologise for trying to correct your misinformation. I was clearly out of line.

[DTAC]

Look at those pings!!! Mine is 3ms. How do you all play online with those rates?

[kerwinishere]

How?

[bossmann]

Your ping is 3ms to where?

[volcanosnowstorm]

Pc to router? Lol

[kerwinishere]

PC to modem

[kg494EJ-1]

Downgraded to 30MB seems to be working decent so far, in Trinidad.



I'm just going to enjoy that lower bill.
