anon posted : I d/l every day at full speed of 75Mbit and grab at least 10 gigs a day with no problems. Like others have said the file could be removed due to copyright violations. When that happens, it looks like you are d/ling it at a very slow rate, but really there is nothing there. That has been happening more and more recently.

Viper359 posted : OK, not sure how I can explain this any easier, if you start to download something, then it stops, or slows right to a crawl, depending on which reader you are using, odds are what you are downloading has been removed, its gone, period. You cannot download it. There are many links about things being removed from usenet. Its got nothing to do with Rogers.

Download something that isn't copyright protected, and come back and let us know your results.

Viper359 posted : Usenet hasn't really been throttled in Canada. As for the speeds, it sounds like a copyright owner has done a dcma on the stuff. This is exactly what you are seeing. Try downloading a Linux distro and see what happens.

Viper359 posted : What reader are you using? Also, if the file is already been dcma'd, this can be happening. Saw it a few times lately. Seems like I am getting it, then all the sudden, nothing, when I looked closer, found out why.

I am directly plugged into the modem. hmm I tried 3 diff service providers hoping one of them would work they are all doing the same thing hit the top speed n drop off to 0 then after 3 mins it will go to something like 2MB/s .. i thnk it may be the modem?
