It did Fantastic!

In 3 and a half hours there was a total of 6 minutes of instability.

The red looks bad towards the end, however, it was only frame drops from 60 fps to 48 fps and end lasted around 4-5 seconds... So not bad at all! My viewers were more than okay with that and most of them didn't even notice!

Hi, Some of us MFN users have had speeds degradation on international during peak hours for the past 4 weeks.
Thanks PBCool for the update. Hoping this will resolve our issues.

Yeah same here i have had shocking international speeds at night on the MFN
 
Is CISP shaping torrents? I left the mega Formula 1 torrent (1978-2015) going overnight and uTorrent managed around 100MB. I checked the settings and nothing was out of place. That torrent is in countless seed boxes belonging to fervent F1 fans from Reddit.

Just got the torrent going in Premiumize.me (multihost/torrent/nzb http downloader) and it's busy caching the torrent at 120Mbps - a speed it reached in a few seconds.

Thanks. PM'd you now.

Well, I'll soon be able to download it from Premiumize at least. But I suspect it will be a monster RAR file rather than individual ones. I only want some of the seasons.

This rampant data consumption (1.1TB), if it takes place, is on you Cool Ideas! :p

Is very possible that your HDD was maxing out while trying to allocate space for the torrent, When that happens on very large torrents the download speed is horrific if not even non existent.

Try this: make sure that "Pre-allocate all files" is disabled, and that "diskio.sparse_files" in advanced settings is set to true.
 
Getting around 3MBps down (24Mbit) with 66 peers with a 5 day ETA...

I'm downloading on an SSD with 4GB RAM cache FWIW

I was downloading to a 8TB external media drive. Wasn't really concerned about pre-allocated space or whatever as it has over 50% still free.

Yes, But utorrent will try and pre-allocate the space... If the drive hits 100% your downloads will effectively die until that has completed. and on such a huge torrent that 100% could easily have been there the entire night :)
 
Thanks [MENTION=168973]DJZassie[/MENTION] - disabled that stuff in Deluge...

We don't shape torrents, do you think the torrent client supports TCP window scaling?

Hello sir/mam, could it be used as a seedbox? what speeds do you get with your setup?

I have a seedbox in NL and I currently stream from the box via HTTP using Kodi and tend to have episodes of lagging especially around peak times. I've been looking for an alternative way to stream my content while still using the box to seed.
 
Did some testing and digging and DSTV now seems to source from DSTVs peer at NAP, https://www.peeringdb.com/net/13080 as well as Akamai, live stuff seems to come from Akamai and offline content their content peer.

So it's more specific to the stream you are watching.
