Afrihost New Network Feedback

[PurSpyk!!]

Tried the free account, downloading the linuxmint torrent using the link you provided, maxes out at 500KB/s, then drops and sits at around 250KB/s

Using WebAfrica, free account, maxes my line, same torrent.



So its not my setup, its not my exchange, its not the dns I am using as I only changed accounts nothing else on my router, the issue is on your side, and it starts at 19:00 every night that I have been downloading.

Thanks for confirming.
I'll pass the feedback onto our network team - can you let me know what time throughput increases?

Well at 06:15 when I get back onto the computer, and restart the downloads it is at full speed again.

Steam just downloaded an update at 1.1MB/s and this is on Afrigreen, so something is very odd.

Can you setup some downloads to run overnight and monitor the throughput?
That'll give us some pretty valuable info.

@AfriGuy Is AfriHost using IPv6? If not, are there plans to do so?

This is the second day now of heavenly internet, and it's been on a complimentary Vox account from the Critical Care team.

I feel your pain, I think I woke up the dead screaming at my pc the last few days trying to actually download files I need for work.

Back on Afrigreen:



Not even downloading anymore?

Our network can already handle IPv6, there isn't much of a need for it just yet though.

Not looking good, I've reported this to our network team.
I assume other downloads/ services are running OK?

Any word from our Critical Care guys around this?

Nah. They're not big on chit chat in the Clientzone.

Seems to have gotten faster after 22:00, but still below what it should be.

Just a random question, i was wondering, is it safe to download torrents these days, because this bs that we can get legally in this country is such a joke, i am being forced to download torrents. i just want to know, is it fine to do it, or is there some danger in it?

 

[PurSpyk!!]

Now at 22:55, full speed.

Yes, it is safe to download torrents but not when you download copyrighted files.
