Analyze your internet connection for potential problems
The ICSI Netalyzr gives a comprehensive report on the nitty-gritty details of your connection. It checks and evaluates your DNS Look-up service and several common protocols and pin points exactly where problems could lie. The test applet requires JRE plug-in for your browser. Analysis took approx. 3 mins on my connection. The test report can tell you more about how your ISP or DNS Service is working, and you can use this information to better tweak your connection for performance and security. The test results were more or less consistent, only the performance varied over subsequent tests. You can check if your ISP blocks BitTorrent network, though you’re better off configuring a proxy in your torrent client.
I am using OpenDNS and its working pretty fine for me so far.
