Int. Torrents on SAIX

[fewl]

Anyone getting full speeds on SAIX int. torrents anymore? Mine start off around 30k and then gradually get slower and slower until they're around 10 or so. These are from private trackers that should be able to max out my puny line many times over.

10k flat here, no more than 1mbit in total int on a 4mb line (including HTTP). National is fine up to 4mbs

I don't understand why they're shaping the hell out of the bandwidth. I mean, it's not like it's unlimited or anything. I'm paying for the stuff so wtf do they care how I use it?

DSL 384 line @ home, using standard SAIX shaped maxes out at full speed on local & international torrents.

How big (3GB? 5GB? 10GB?) an account to you have geek? And with which ISP?

They are all the same, regardless of ISP. I use either a Telkom or a Web Africa account.
