P2P

[rwc]

Hi. MWEB recently converted my uncapped 512 line to 1Mb/s. (The 512 package was discontinued.) As that is a decent speed I tried isohunt.com and uTorrent again. First downloads of +/- 500MB's downloaded in roughly two hours at 40-60kb/s. Now, two months later, best speed I get is 0.8-5kb/s and downloads take days! Is it because I have a shaped line? They've noticed I use P2P after two months and now restrict me?

yep probably shaped.

Try using a news server or similar?

 

[rwc]

In other words, leave Mweb?

 

[rwc]

is there no way around it?

Good Morning rwc

Please advise if your downloads speeds fluctuate or if they are constant at 0.8-5kb/s? Also what are your download speeds like on our news servers? Please also provide me your MWEB email address via inbox/direct messaging.

Kind regards,
