Torrent Throttling?

Just had my torrents throttled down to 10kBps from 6.5MBps... I didn't know VM did torrent throttling or traffic managing at all any more?

I know they do kinda watch P2P usage etc.. but from their website it seems that this is only during peak times.. which starts at 4pm?

Re: Torrent Throttling?

Virgin Media has always done torrent throttling. The website only lists "typical" peak hours, they are free to change it as they see fit and have often done so in the past. The hours listed are not a guarantee.

My synology was clipping along at 12MB/sec at 7pm, so they can't be very good at throttling them.

Is your Synology on Ruddock's connection?
