I dont know if mweb changed something but for the passed ~2 weeks I cant download torrents over 100KB/s on a 4meg "premium" account.
Note this is my total download speed, some well seeded torrents are downloading at 2-10KB/s which is ridiculous.
I thought perhaps it was just some shaping during the week but even at night and during weekend I have seen no improvement.

I will be sending in a cancellation email tomorrow...

I would like some advice on which ISP offers the best 4 meg product for no more than R550 pm.

If you want to torrent, get business. Just 40 bucks more.

This has been happening to a few of us. I'm also fed up, also canceling end of month.

Hi FFF, just to confirm is it only your torrents that are slow ?

Also please note, torrents are given the lowest priority on our network and the speeds are therefore not guaranteed.

Give Crystal Web a try. To my utter amazements I could repeatedly download torrents at near full speed while the sun was out.
 
This whole weekend, even today was really bad. Not going higher than 80KB/s on NNTP.
 
Same here, I started a well seeded torrent Sunday evening, only 245MB file, by Yesterday afternoon it had only done 5%. Usually I can download a file like that in minutes.
 
Only improvement is seen from about 1am till about 6-7 am...
Even then, its not full speed.
