Thanks WA for giving us a full day of DL+

Just a query as to how you are all finding performance.

My experience was started just before 12:00 last night (using Grabit and the WA news server). By 6 i had not even downloaded a gig and had to reboot my router. For a while downloads flew at 100% of my 4 meg line. At this stage I am running just between 40 to 60% with odd spike of speed.

Maybe with everyone making the most of the chance to download the system is battling or is WA doing something to slow us down a bit (which I would think not likely as they have given us the day)?

I would be interested to hear how things are going for you
 
I'm getting a full 50-60kbs on my 4mb line. Very poor performance! http is full speed ahead but torrents and nzb services is crawling!

I know. IS uncapped account goes faster than this during the day. ohh you will be lucky if you can finish 3gb today.
 
Getting full speed on my 1MB line since 00:00

I have also tried using my astraweb paid account and now my speeds are down to 30 to 40% of my line capacity. Seems to be getting worse and worse. :cry:

Yes paid usenet is like crawling at 30-40kbs.
 
270kbs torrent with 1200+ seeds :(

edit: up to 400kbs now, was just crap seeds

Paying for a business account and only going at 70kbs on ftp.
 
I've already used my D+ finished before today :( would test to see if it's similar for me. Although I must say I did download 1 episode from international news server last night with the last of my remaining cap and it was much slower then usual
 
May this day never happen again lol. My Titan is now a slug. Mweb home uncapped is actually faster :P
 
Not even 30% of line speed for the entire day. Crawling at 70kb.
 
I seem to be up at about 50% now, but has not been a great day at all. Will be interesting to see what the remaining 9 hours have in store
 
Performance was fine for me all day, I cannot comment on USENET or torrent performance, but other downloads and browsing and streaming video has been great.
