What do your app settings look like?

Has congestion been confirmed in the area?
Setting are normal settings on utorrent.
Nope. Only torrent speeds slow down. http downloads were fine.
Getting about 500-600kbps now on torrents. Which is fine. Hasn't dropped as yet. Was only earlier today when it died.
Will keep an eye on it and see if it drops again.
If there's an option to reset settings like peers, max connections etc maybe give it a shot

If it drops again. I'll give that a go and see.
Coolios, could you also post up the settings you're using here please?

The colour.... my eyes....
Where abouts is this from? Looks like most of CPT is having an issue here.
Looks OK to me, those settings should pretty much saturate your line.
Not sure if/ how trackers work now - maybe the upload speed restriction could be causing some issues?
Not sure. Upload speed is generally the one that always remains constant. Never any issues with that.
Though so far downloading still going fine right now. So maybe earlier today was just a minor glitch. Here's hoping anyway.

Not sure if this site is reliable but I got it from https://downdetector.co.za/status/telkom/map
As shown it's mostly in CPT.
A lot of people are complaining about the exchange.
Yea the colour is quite *eye catching* :3
Hhmm, not sure how too accurate this is
What do the results look like when you ping bras.afrihost.com?

My results look great but I've had two random disconnects in as many days

Disconnections will occur from time to time, you don't want these happening multiple times in the space of a day however. How are things looking at the moment?

Since my last message I've had it happen twice, I've tried diagnosing the incidents myself but have come up with nothing, it's not at the stage where it's a problem but it sure is getting annoying.
I run quite a number of tabs at any given moment mainly (Twitch, Teamspeak, Discord) and I've noticed that the disconnects could last anywhere from 2-30 minutes.

P2P is in the crapper here, too. Can only muster 60KB/S, no matter what torrent, or tracker.
Http seems very "bouncy" - been like that since the weekend
All tests are normal though :erm:
EDIT: CORRECTION... now it's down to no more than 5KB/s
