Torrent speeds on Mweb uncapped terrible

GarethY said:
I've been struggling to download a 71GB torrent since the beginning of February. It's been downloading at between 0.5 - 1 GB every 24 hours on a 4mbps account. So yesterday morning I got a Gold uncapped trial account from OpenWeb and it downloaded at line speed all of last night. Says it all really.

I cancelled my MWEB account this morning, even though it will still run until the end of March, and have signed up with OpenWeb.

I'm very inclined to do the same at this point. The last few weeks have proved rather pathetic, but more so for streaming than torrents (which are dead 80% of the time anyway).
 
Update - As from roughly 10:00 PM on Friday, my trackers started updating again and my torrents started working. I am getting roughly 50% of my line speed, but it seems stable.

Did Mweb change anything? Was this perhaps linked to the Skype issue?
 
I can also confirm, i tested on Sunday and last night, and the torrents are performing in line with what i used to experience. Something had definitely changed. But yeah, issue seems to be resolved.
 
Before I moved to MWEB I tested the trial account, was awesome great speeds on everything. Now I sign up and my torrent downloads don't download at all. Thinking of going back to #&@host

Mweb is the worst ISP for torrents. I've used torrent-to-http services and usenet for the whole two years I've been a customer.

Afrihost is probably the worst uncapped provider. Go to Openweb. I would have moved if not for the pathetic performance of my trial account and unhelpful care line, but it seems the majority of people love them and get great speeds, include P2P downloads.
 
How is everybodies experiences been recently? I havent seen any improvement since i started this thread.
 
Hmmm....Im on mweb 1MB uncapped and I get (with good seeds) 109KB/s on torrents

PM me torrents that you are getting "no connection" too so I can test them.
 
I've been getting great speeds on torrents with Mweb lately (also 1Mbps).
 
I started a download this morning only 48Mb have come down, 4% after 10 hours. Thats not just poor performance, thats actually quite shocking.
 
yip im on 1meg mweb line , having same issue with torrents my side , it cant take a 12hour to download a 250mb file.
tried the same download at a my friends place with his 1meg afrihost and it was done in less than a hour... If mweb doesnt improve , il have to move to new isp :( and ive gotten good service so far from mweb , but thats seems to be going down :(
