Can you be more specific? Which servers: US or EU? Particular day and time? Your rated line speed vs what you're currently getting? Client setup? Ports?

Yeah it has been happening a lot
Apparently no response on those important questions.Originally Posted by piercerseth
As I've pointed out on several occasions, I'm on Astra/US just about as close to 24/7/365 and zero wobbles in the last couple of days (in fact, it's been just about a perfect couple of weeks).
Downloading at full speed all day today (going on some 12+ hours at this point, my link at full, maximum (25Mb/s+) without a hitch.
do you have your client set for maximum connections?
Of course not. One needs a little bit of bandwidth left over for doing 'little things' like checking 'filesharingtalk' or some other sites (or email) occasionally. Besides which, my link is well saturated with about 15 connections, then I let Sabnzb throttle things a bit, leaving some 3-4Mb/s 'free' for the aforementioned tasks.
If you think you're getting 'slowness', you might need to ramp back your expectations of throughput, especially if you have some huge amount of bandwidth in your link you 'think' you need to fully utilize; but we/I still haven't gotten answers from above.
Working fine, full speeds as of late.

I've been having problems with their EU servers for the last week or so. Even off-peak. Although the reverse traceroute makes me think it's more likely a peering issue with Cogent and my ISP.
the only times i notice issues with astra are on monday evenings. especially with the EU servers. other than that they dont seem to give me any problems saturating my 50/25Mbps connection any time i try.
For several months last year, it was Sunday PM from around 6 to 11 or so San Jose time (where the Astra/US server is), then 3-4 months ago it got highly variable, sometimes coming back on Sunday PM and every once in a while sometime during the week for 6 or so hours, no specific day/date.
The Sunday fun has been come and go the past couple months, I usually run things until around 6pm or so and keep an eye out, and any slowdowns I simply shut things down and wait it out (10-11pm or so). But I haven't seen any problems during the week for again, some 3-4 months. Knock on wood.
I don't have that kind of bandwidth where I live (okay, it's available, but not at a price I'm willing to shell out). I'm getting close to moving some time this year maybe, and get on FIOS if I can, but I may move to another state and stay on (expensive) cable.
