So I tried to download the heroes of Newerth client today and from the HoN server my dl maxed at 5kbs...I have a 4mb line...

SO I went to dogaming and got the client from there. Problem now is that it needs to update through HoN, again I'm maxed at 5kbs...

Anyone else having probs with HoN on Mweb Uncapped?

Might just be me...

Things to keep in mind:

1. Yes its during the day, so unless you are a business your downloading will fail.
2. Gaming is shaped.
3. You can only download as fast as they can send it to you (30k people updating at once)

I updated on Saturday and i got 7kb/s on my 4mb line, it patched, i loaded a game and got 220ms ping...so its not the shaping, they just have a crappy upload methinks.

Could be shaping, could be load balancing on the HoN side. Your ping in game isn't really a reflection of whether shaping is the culprit since 5kB/s might suck for downloading but might still get you a decent ping (unless HoN is a bandwidth hog like WoW - I have no idea)
 
Hon downloads and updates are via p2p so yes you will be shaped and heaviy too as it's during the day. As to HON ping, more than playable even with shaping when four of us were having a team session at my home. ( 4Mg line )
 
I play LOTRO and have no issues with speed
depends on what the software uses
 
MWEB shapes everything - p2p, rapidshare, hotfile, usenet, fileserve, etc. Look for new filesharing services which they don't know of, thats the only thing thats not beign shaped to death.
