This sucks. One day, my internet's so fast. Torrents are fast, browsing is fast, soulseek is fast. Today, it's SOO slow. Loading up a thread takes on average 5 whole minutes. Pictures take minutes to load. Torrents are ing slow. When I try to download the latest version of firefox, it downloads at 2kb/s.
What gives?!?!
Oh. MSN works fine except file transfers are slow.

Are you on Rogers? It seems that after downloading each successive season of Top Gear (some 3-4GB each), for the next few days it feels like my connection has been throttled somewhat.
I don't know if this is the case, but if so, they're ******s. |

do you have access to your router??
have a look at how many sessions are open.. if when you are doing nothing online there are tons of connections still occuring, you might have picked up a spamming trojan/virus..
if not, Rogers could be the culprit.. you are sharing bandwidth with your neighbours so if everyone is online and downloading at the same time you will notice slower performance.. |

| i'm not sure if you guys are aware, but running torrents is a MAJOR slowdown for your connection. even if its not uploading at your connections max speed, you will still see a HUGE performance decrease in everything else |

I'm on sympatico. Funny enough this all happened after I got a pretty bad power surge after a storm. Could the router be facked?

reboot the router just to be sure..
also if you use a switch or hub, power off & power back on. |
