50M Pitifully slow newsgroup speeds during the evening - Page 3

I get [Mod Edit - do not use words that invoke the site swear filter] speeds during the evening as well and I didn't before... some of the files are downloaded incomplete but I don't have this problem when I download early mornings...

I noticed my US bit rate drops to the following

pstream Channels
Lock Status Modulation Channel ID Max Raw Bit Rate Frequency Power
Locked ATDMA 1 10240 Kbits/sec 35800000 Hz 37.5 dBmV

And in the mornings it's 20480

Currently I am getting 2mbps speeds even on http downloads

i did some more downloading this evening which i wouldnt normally have done and was surprised to get just over 4mb from torrents which I thought was amazing. Gives me some renewed confidence in VM making the traffic low priority; it must have been quiet enough that there was enough juice left for me to use.

Things seem to have improved for me too. Lets hope it was just a blip.

Same here!

I'm not really a heavy downloader but I made the exception to download From
(usenet) a bit more in the early hours this past 2 nights and was able to max out my connection at speeds upto 5.6MB.

So somthing has changed, anyway so far so good

Max raw bit has increased as expected... Downloads were still bad late last night

Hmm. will try mine later today. I can't imagine it being improved at it has been this way for ages. I haven't had cause to use them since I first started this thread so I'll see how I go. I won't hold my breath though.

Not on 50mb (yet) but astraweb gives me 10Mb (full speed) 24/7/365 on both the eu or us servers using only 8 connections (I'm not subject to STM but I would be subject to p2p/nntp shaping)

Currently using port 443 with SSL.

Must admit that even though I am not STM'd I still do all my downloading (normally less than 4gb) between 7am and 10am)

ther is also a traceroute tool on their website that may show up where any routing issue is located.

Really Kymmy? Please do share with us what it is that you are downloading that occasionally exceeds 4GB in 3 hours. You wouldn't happen to be breaking the law and publicly posting about it would you? You're either being very stupid or else you're building up one heck of a Linux distro collection.

who cares, she can download whatever she wants when she wants

Retrovertigo · 26-01-2012, 07:50

Tried downloading something random last night to see if my situation had improved, but it hasn't at all.

Still no joy speaking to tech support about it.

What do most (not all) people use their newsgroups for.. probably US/UK tv shows, dvd screeners and the odd game or two..

Do you not have a life instead you have to try to hound all usenet users whether they are downloading or not?

Sad.... very sad...

Well, I have exceeded this with Steam/Origin for BF & MW (and others), and MS for Win7 and Office 2010.

Same here, also when downloading Lion from the Mac App store. Even demos on my xbox and PS3 as the last demo I downloaded was 1.9Gb and I had a queue built up with another for 1.3Gb and 600Mb. It all adds up. Glad I am on 50Mb
