Does your ISP blocks BitTorrent Traffic?

Some ISP’s block or limit BitTorrent network traffic because of legal issues like downloading pirated music, movies, softwares, etc. You can test whether your ISP is blocking your BitTorrent traffic by using Glasnost. Glasnost makes a series of tests by simulating BitTorrent protocol across your computer to their server and determines if your ISP is limiting such traffic.

Glasnost performs 3 simulation techniques:

  • Throttling all BitTorrent traffic
  • Throttling all traffic at well-known BitTorrent ports.
  • Throttling BitTorrent traffic only at well-known BitTorrent ports


You have also had two choices from the following tests. The Full Test takes about 7 minutes to finish while the Simple Test takes only about 4 minutes.

This online tool is free and requires only a Java plug-in (JRE – Java Runtime Environment) for your browser. If you haven’t had a Java plug-in yet, you can download it here.

If you have already the following requirements, you can start your test here.
