I'm not sure if you've noticed the other threads, or the open service status message regarding Broadband Network Capacity, but we're currently looking into speed issues being reported on "download server" traffic, which will also include P2P.
It's not that we've added more rate limitations, it's just that the amount of Gold traffic is higher and with P2P getting a lower priority, speeds are lower.

What sort of speeds are you getting on your P2P applications during off peak times (such as 1am).
Any ideas or are you actually not awake then? You did manage to download 10GB offpeak yesterday, so it's certainly running at some speed.

The speeds only go numb in the morning till ~12 o clock at night. So at 1AM p2p goes up to 700kbs. The 50.0kbs limiter seems to appear ~8-9AM in the morning.
Oh yeah, 10gb off peak was at night I bet.
PS - At the moment my friend made a large torrent just to see how far my speeds will stretch so he's the only seeder, his maximum upload speed is 400kbs, he isn't uploading or downloading anything else neither am I and at the moment I'm stuck with 35.0kbs and as it happens in doesn't go over that even by 0.1kbs which I find extremely amusing. Reforwarded my ports too so it should be fine.

There's no rate limits applied during the times that you're referring to, but last night was probably our busiest evening *ever* so it's quite likely that P2P speeds will have been lower.

And not so long ago(a month ago last time) we used to share files between each other via torrents and the speed was fine.
And I don't know if it was 700kbs last night I'm just saying as in it can go up to my "maximum" download speed after midnight.

That's just down to the volume of traffic hitting our network at that time of the day. If you think about it, that's when everyone gets into work and turns on their computers.

1 kilobyte (which I call kb) is 1024 bytes (which is comparably nothing) so 35 kilobytes (which I marked as 35kbs) is roughly a 25th part of a megabyte and that makes 35kbs a very low speed. haha Writing this was actually a good fun.

The problem is that generally with broadband speeds, we'll always refer to megabits per second and klobits per second.

Anyways so 1 kilobit is an 8th of a kilobyte so 35 kilobytes is 280 kilobits. Which is low. So now that we got to a conclusion is there anything that can be done about this? ha

280Kbps is not far off the expected speed of P2P on your product during peak times, have a look on this page for the rest of the information.
Hope this helps.
