Is it just me or is Mweb shaping everything beyond all sane limitations? Max I get on NZBSA is 9kbps - 11kbps, during night and day. And max I get on torrents with hundreds of seeds is 3kbps - 4kbps day and night.

I've forwarded all the necessary ports and I get green lights on uTorrent...What am I doing wrong?

*384k Line Btw.
 
methinks your torrent file is rotten or some other related issue. quick test just now seems good to me.

im getting decent speeds as well. try a backup account without shaping, might be the line.
 
I have the same problem, been like that for a few weeks. Normal downloads are fine though . I've given up on torrentz

Not just you - I've been struggling with torrents since I signed up. Speeds are at 90kB/s on a 4mb line. Browsing is good, YouTube is good, HTTP is fine - but torrents are slow!! All well seeded too.

Hi MysteriousBeing

Please provide more information as to what speeds you are getting on a normal http download.

Kind regards

Hi Mweb,

As stated in my I've only had problem with NZBSA and Torrents. Is NZB classified as a HTTP download or newserver download? Normal downloads are perfect at 40kbps as expected. I was just curious about the newserver and torrents.
 
I am also getting cr@p speeds from MWEB. My line is 8mb/s and runs up to 7mb/s on my IS account but nothing more than 160 kbs on the MWEB account.
I made the mistake of escalating to MWEB, and got the usual non helpful vague answers along with the recommendation to move to a business account. Now if only there was some decent competition.......

Hi MysteriousBeing

All types of Peer 2 Peer, file sharing (one-click-hosting) and binary newsgroup traffic are shaped. This traffic is given a lower priority and will always give way to meet the demands of high priority and unshaped traffic. Shaping changes at different times of the day and is dynamic based on the demand on the network for high preference traffic. Services like surfing and email, are given the highest priority for the best possible customer experience.

Kind regards

what kind of torrent speeds are 4 meg users here getting? on average? i max at 170kbs for brief periods overnight, shaping has definitely worsened for me since December

I used to be able to get 30 - 40 kbps on Newservers but now I'm down to 10 - 15. :/ Very sad.

Same for me about 3-4 months ago. Now I never get over 11 kbps from mwebs news server. MWeb say I have an issue with my line while Telkom say it is working perfectly, so I can't do much more :p Personally, I think it is an mweb thing because everything else on my line works as expected.

Couldn't agree more.
 
News going 40-120k/s during daytime,torrents 5-30ish on my 4mbps. Nighttime it flies
 
i get 8kb/s in the day for torrents and up to 90kb/s at night.on very rare occasions it would shoot to over 500kb/s in the night for about 3h or so.
