ISP blocking FTP/FTPES/SCP to my box

Posted November 5th, 2024    40   0  

I'm trying to find a solution to this issue. I have 2 ISP's, one is used primarily for SB downloading.

I have been with for years, but I may need to switch boxes if they are doing it based on IP which appears to be the case. I can start a download eg in FileZilla but it will be slow to start, then go 18-22KB/s and then die totally. It works if I swap internet connections, but I can't use that one for big downloads.

I am able to download using HTTP in the browser, I tried a few download managers in Firefox but it just sucks. Multiple failed to complete downloads and no resume etc.

Any advice? Is it possible to try moving to a different box or are each IP tied to a given tier of service?

UPDATE: I tried the speedtest rerouting feature and it worked! Hopefully I don't have to do this everytime I get a new IP.

Speedtest rerouting is indeed the best course of action. Sometimes ISPs get congested or throttle your connections, so the efficient way around is to reroute via our tool. However in rare cases that the congestion/throttling is almost permanent, you should contact the ISP and ask them to resolve that - by angoikon (26 days ago)
