I'm afraid that I'm not aware of anything that would cause this.
Please do give us a shout if you see anything similar in the future though.

When I get up just after 8 AM though, they're all connected and downloading at a total of about (up to) 100KB/s.
I guessed it was maybe contention as IIRC plus net don't throttle P2P from midnight through to midday, amirite?

This may be partly related to large numbers of people using scheduling software for their downloads which all kick in at midnight.

Is there a problem?
I am on PAYG and at 07:55 my torrents were running at >170kb/s, at 07:59 and 08:01 that speed started reducing down to about 100kb/s.
I was going to stop the torrent anyway ... but surely the speed should not have reduced!

We don't apply rate limits to P2P traffic on PAYG and it always stays in the same traffic queues. Any reduction in speed is likely to have been the result of other factors.

Quote from: Jameseh There are rate limits applied to P2P between 12-2, but these are more relaxed than they are during earlier hours.
This may be partly related to large numbers of people using scheduling software for their downloads which all kick in at midnight.
I know there are restrictions for BBYW Option 1. Are there also limits imposed from 12-2 on Option 2?
According to http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/quality_broadband/speed.shtml#Option2speeds
there aren't.
