Anyone else find that lately P2P downloads (Yes Im trying to torrent Game of Thrones, I'm a thief I know) get shaped like 90% of the time, its almost 8:30pm and my download is only running at 10-20KB/s... I thought they were only shaped during office hours?

Welcome to my world, R1499 to get 10kb/sec at 8:30pm on P2P (The best part? My downloads are HTTPS from my seedbox..)
Meh managed to only download like 2gb through the night, it would appear that p2p downloads now permanently get shaped, and the speeds only slightly get raised between 12am and 6 am... This is BS
I got the the connection for gaming, in the beginning I was not a heavy user at all, because my link actually worked for the purpose that I got it for, then began my packet loss issues, and gaming was out the door, so i figured, "ah well I'll use the link for downloads then" (and I do admit I've been hammering the downloads after hours, because I've got to get my money's worth somehow
), it would appear its becoming progressively more useless for downloads as well...Bitco do tell me, what exactly can I use my link for?

I had issues with my connection at around 21:00 while playing Rust. I gave up eventually around 21:30. I have never had this before in Rust so I suspect it might have been something once off. Seems to have been fine again this morning. (Not complaining yet 
). My problem seems to be throughput though. Maybe the damn kids was streaming crap again on all their devices not sure. Will try and pin point it tonight if it happens again.

Hi Wikkels88,
We have not had any issues or changes to the torrent shaping protocals
I will ask the technical team to test tonight after 6pm and shall revert back with some feedback

Hi Senshi,
Seed box traffic will be classified as P2P and have the same shaping process as torrents.
i will test to seedbox.cc tonight and check for you
Mike
Yay Bitco Rep is still alive, thanks for the response! Awaiting feedback

Pfft, weakling...
Take the PS4
Can't wait.
Yip something is definitely up with my connection, speeds are normal http://netgauge.ookla.com/share/203172013.png, but p2p downloads still shaped heavily even this time of night, running at 15KB/s
So who won and who suffered from lag.
I hope you guys are not using your 1GBPS fibre to test the game, you need to use your wireless link preferable a 10mbps link?

Hmmm... not hearing a lot of good things about Bitco in this thread and it is a bit of a worry...
So is P2P as useless all the time for everyone? I don't mind only being able to download after hours, but having to sign a contract and pay a lot of money for a service that will be mostly useless does not sound good to me.
What happened to full speed of everything and then if abused you get throttled for a bit?
