Hi guys,
First let me begin by giving you relevant information.
Usenet Provider: Giganews Diamond Package
Client: sabNZBD
Connection: Virgin Media 50mb Broadband
Basically, for a long time (ever since I upgraded to 50meg) pretty much all my downloads were downloading at about 5.8 megabytes/s. Obviously I had the occasional download which didn't hit that but 95% of the time I was topping out, sometimes hitting 6mb/s.
Anyways, recently I've been having issues with my speed... I can't say for exactly how long, but now I feel like I'm lucky if I'm hitting 4 mb/s. I'm often stuck with between 1 and 2 megabytes/s which isn't very impressive. It doesn't appear to be related to post age and sabNZBD isn't giving me back any warnings. Sometimes I do still get to the high 5s (mb/s) and it's great! But more than half the time I'm stuck with horrible speeds and I can't figure out why.
If anyone could provide any insight I would be truly grateful, as someone who uses usenet for downloading obscene amounts of data it has affected me a lot.
Let me know if you need any more information!
Cheers
Nathan
