You have likely been flagged by your ISP as P2P bandwidth hog and been throttled or went over your monthly data cap, which is rather easy leaving P2p on 24/7.


You have to tailor your bandwidth usage as not to send up the red flag.


You might even get a few warnings via email, so check oyur ISP email account or you might be subjected to certain laws against copyright infingment.

All ISP's have limits, even the unlimited ones once they find out your torrenting.

what is a legitimate place that i can download movies for free to test my internet in real situations without worrying about seeds and leechers


Most movies are usually copyrighted as it takes a lot of money to make them, so the producers need a return on their investment.


So I doubt you will find many sources of free movies.


However for $8 a month, Netflix all you can eat 24/7 streaming can't be beat.


First month free. 🙂

And if you get a $69 wired Roku device, you connect that to your HDTV with a cheap HDMI cable you can get online and watch on the big screen.


Have to watch, get the wired Roku, not the only wireless as that will cost you a router too. Depending if your ISP provided a router/modem combination or not.
