| Re: Sympatico throttling Bit Torrents now??? Wow, ok well its good to know that i am not going completely nuts. I greatly appreciate all the replies.
I am hesitant to blame other seeders or locations of those seeders. These are very popular files I am trying to download with thousands of seeders. But again, that is not the troubling fact, it was that one day...200 kb/s, next day 30...and never any faster.
I tried the restore as well Jorge, as I was grasping at straws as I had literally installed nothing new in months (with the exception of Microsoft updates) and even after the restore same thing.
I am not trying to cook up a conspiracy or anything, just found it odd that no matter what I did...30 always came up the magic number on several different torrent clients (utorrent, azerus, bit torrent, etc).
Alas, thanks all for the input, it is greatly appreciated. | |

Thanks again. | |

We could post it here and all the users on DSLR could seed (at near the max upload speed) during those hours. | |
