LOL, bought a bigger harddrive end of december because the measly 500gig I had had been full for about a month so couchpotato and sickbeard were complaining.

When I plugged the new one in it went balistic with adding stuff to the SABNzb queue :)

Dude, scratch around here on myBB. Plenty "how to ...and more" threads. I would add a link but my laziness compels me not to. And on my side my Usenet downloads be flying (even though I manually throttle them during business hours).

I've just had a telkom 4mb line installed and everything works great with the exception of anything done through a p2p client, which doesn't work at all. Browsing, steam downloads, streaming is all fine, but not even a kb through when trying torrents. I've tried different pc's and different clients and nothing. As soon as I switch to 3G, the torrents start, thus it clearly isn't a problem on my side. Any ideas what would be causing the block and how to fix?

Im in the same boat. I had a 10meg line installed yesterday and i cant do anything. Even browsing is a pain. Speedtest results: 1.27Mbps DL and 0.4Mbps UL. Sigh.
 
Gents, ok i am new to this and don't really know what i am doing most the time but i too am suffering to download torrents.
now i have tried to install SABnzbn but i don't know how to find my host or really what's the next step. i tried searching but it seems i am a lot more backward than i thought :) normally you install and its sorted here they want host name and port name so i am now totally lost.

please assist, smart remarks aren't going to help as i am looking for assistance
and i am with Telkom, 4mg line uncapped

thanks gents
 
I've had the same problem with torrents this month. 1mb uncapped Telkom. (yes, slow, I know, but I get everything I need and would just download junk if I had a faster line)

Used to use nzbs until I started getting incomplete downloads after the file had finished downloading, par files couldn't fix it either as the files had been taken off the server and resulted in me wasting bandwidth. Haven't explored paying for a news server yet. I switched to torrents and for the past year have had zero problems, slow during the day, full speed at night = on average 200gb a month. Since September my total monthly downloads have looked like this - 190gb, 160gb, 130gb, 110gb, and this month - 74gb with a week left. Serious throttling going on :(

It's also been about a year since I've had any tech issues with my line, used to get a broken line every few months that resulted in several weeks of downtime.

Maybe it's time to change ISPs, but from what I've read on here over the years, they're all as bad as the other, with some shining some months and being turds during other months.

Oh South African interwebs, when will you be like the rest of the world?... sigh.
