| reply to still a throttle
Re: Throttling on Primus? It's pretty sad you cannot see the difference in QoS and blanket throttling. I am with Primus and I download torrents often, or I did when I lived in Kitchener. I've just moved to London and chose Primus again, having lived in Kitchener I've never dipped below 150KBs unless it's a very badly populated torrent of course. It's rare I see it that low, only near dinner time, generally it's 400-700KBs at any given time depending on what I am doing.
I cannot comment for andrewsfm above, I don't know his situation. Perhaps he lives in a more congested area, torrent/seed quality was bad or low, or many other things. However if it's a result of Primus' QoS throttling that sucks and maybe Primus is not the best choice for him.
It's kind of immature to make silly comments on how it's only good for voip, gaming, etc. and recommending it to grandmothers. I mean, grow up.
Sure unthrottled would be preferred by everyone, however if it needs to be done, this is the way it should be done. It's no different then businesses and corporations that give certain data higher priority on a company network. |
