Is Tot Applying Brakes To Torrent Downloads?

[tjd46]

Is TOT at it again? For the past 2 or 3 days my torrent downloads have been hanging or crawling along at or below dial-up speed. I've done speed tests on both the Bangkok and Singapore servers and the results reflect normal speeds for my 3MB line, and everything else works fine. But downloading torrents is a real pain. Anybody else suffering the same experience?

This should be moved to the internet section as its nothing to do with Visa's etc. Yes I am, tjd46

Yep it will be moved soon!.

Agreed, trying to down load footy - England v Bulgaria, pants, between 55-90 kb/s:angry:

Are you downloading from thebox?  I often wonder if it's more a case of people throttling their uploads on these neutral torrents.  

Fortunately poor torrent speeds don't affect my visa

I had loads of trouble using windows but changed my OS to Ubuntu and it made a huge difference. Like chalk and cheese, I think a lot of the problems may be with using Windows. Just a thought.

TOT in Chon Buri sucks, I'm trying to download some CSI series but nothing comes in, but the Thaivisa speed test shows good results.

I'm at 60 right now. About a week ago, or so, was at 200+ at times. For the past few days, barely get above 100.

I have my uploads throttled at 25. I am guessing that is not good?

Not sure we need another thread? Maybe merge this into TOT Blocking all torrent traffic

[JimShortz]

YES - bast*rds!

Judging by the response, it looks time to move on to another ISP. I'm not paying a 3MB tariff for dial-up performance. Anyone had experience of TrueVisions? Just what are the options?

I live in a housing development in Hangdong. I have not been able to download torrents for about 4 days. I use 3BB. It is the only development in my service.
