Re: Sympatico throttling Bit Torrents now???

I'm in Ottawa as well and I was downloading at 520 kBps last night.
Maybe we need to put those rumors to rest, can someone setup a tracker with say a 100 Meg file to download ?

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

Oh one other question, to the two folks that mentioned the same problem (if you happen upon this thread again) what area of the country are you in...myself I am in ottawa, S end...just curious if perhaps it is a localized event.

Thanks again.

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.
