I haven't noticed any throttling overnight - what makes you think it is throttled?
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

Quote Past few nights I've experienced P2P traffic being throttled overnight.
We've not made any changes to the P2P experience on Pro. Was it a well seeded file and what speeds did a normal speedtest give? It's worth keeping in mind that shortly after midnight alot of people turn on their downloads so you may see a blip for a short period when this happens.
Quote I've read PN have been lacking capacity.
Really? We've been lighting segments ahead of forecast as we're moving customers back from RIN and LLU. We've got more due in the next day or so too.

Really?
You sound supprised at that comment. When complaints are made about speed the usual stock reply from PN is that things will improve when more capacity is added. Usenet is crawling at the moment so if thats not lack of capacity then perhaps you could look into it and find out the problem

That was perhaps what I experienced last night, but not the previous night. Files were well seeded and download would change from line speed to a trickle.

Elsewhere in the forum a PN staff member has stated that new capacity was due to come online becuase of demand reaching capacity.

You got a link to that.?I cant seem to find it. I'd like to understand the context.
We light capacity based on tried and tested and very carefully modeled projections. We monitor customer growth daily, we study and monitor customer usage patterns and project our volumes based on that growth. We plan for additional capacity well in advance. We don't simply wait for the network to reach saturation point and we ensure we are ahead of demand. We've lit a significant number of segments and deployed more centrals over the last 12 months than at any other point in our past.
As mentioned previously, more capacity will be added this week in line with growth and our business plan. Every day the management team review and discuss network performance and ensure that we are fully in line with our projections.

Quote from: Jameseh We budget for planned capacity growth in line with projected customer growth and have planned dates for when we add further capacity. There are instances where we have to accelerate this growth, in occasions such as now.
This was posted on 22nd July and seems to suggest the extra capacity was being added at short notice

Good to hear that. Thanks
Maybe there was a problem the other night, that was more than the midnight demand, which still seems to be an admitted issue.
Things are back to normal and working fine for me now.
