Re: Rapidshare throttled!!

I'm going to ask you how you came to the conclusion that Rapidshare is being throttled?

I mean, if it were, you'd be capped at 30 KBps from 4:30 pm to 2 am, not 6 pm.

Re: Rapidshare throttled!!

What happens actually is that the download speed abruptly decrease even to the point of sometimes stopping. However around 6 PM I experienced a significant decrease (170k to 6k, unexplainable indeed.
Now, speed is okay even though it is far from perfect. The main problem about the throttling is that there is not a clear pattern. Sometimes even at night I could be fully throttled for half an hour then it resumes to normal speed for 10 minutes then throttling for another 15 and so forth.

This unpredictable pattern is extremely annoying. Bell told us that throttling was needed in peak hours. However Bell continue to throttle 24/7 even though the throttling is less severe at night than during the evening, nonetheless it exists. The "peak hours" excuse is indeed poor or at least does not tell the whole truth.
