Download speeds just shot up!

[Elax]

When I pull the same file from tucows.saix.net, I get about double the speed. This is on 128k from 3-4K to 6-9K

Thx nonroker - I assume you run linux?

Anyways - going to bed had enough tonight.

Same diff for me:

I tried a few times downloading http://tucows.is.co.za/files2/osl2000.zip with getright and highest speed achieved was 3K/s on a single thread, then I downloaded with 3 threads and got 14.5K/s. Not to shabby on a 128 package

Man, it's PAINFULL to browse these forums on a MyWi connection. I wish Sentech would switch off the transproxy so we can have a choice of proxy server to use. (eg. One with decent intl bandwidth)

It's painful to do any ****ing thing... Hard capped at 24kbps at the moment. Tired of this ****, going to bed

My download monitor shows I've managed to do a whopping 400mb of traffic in the last 7 days. That's just not on Sentech! They've even managed to screw up the email system as my mail takes hours to download now.

[gripen]

what kind of traffic do you normally do in 7 days?

seems like the 256k crowd are really suffering.

 

[Bishop]

Being hard capped at 2KB is pathetic. It is a 16th of what I should be getting.
I should hard cap their payment this month and send them a 16th as well.
Hmm... R53. That sounds about fair for the service I am receiving.
