My torrents are going incredibly slow, in between 20 to 60KB/s. Come to think of it. This is occuring with downloads as well. They are in the vicinity of say, 70 to 80 KB/s. I am accustomed to speed of torrents well over 90 KB/s and downloads in the 250 KB/s catagory. What could be the problem in this circumstance?

I guess we have to call and complain. Sigh, I can't remember the last time I called them. Lol, maybe that's the mistake. We not keeping them on their toes.

I have called and complained about this. Something is wrong with their speeds again. Calling and complaining is the only way to get their attention on this.

Up till this morning, speeds are ridiculously slow. I cant even browse without an annoying delay. I've seen 256k work better than this.

please note even with Blink I cannot browse while torrents are on. Just disable torrents totally and it works perfect for me.

Ow almost forgot to mention you can almost never get proper speeds on torrents unless its a latest file on a popular public tracker or unless you fortunate enough like me to have a private account on torrentleech which is the best private tracker on the planet.

Its then and only then you can get fast speeds with torrents. You should check to see amd make sure the seeds out number the leech in a torrent file and by a mile distance to if you want to get anything close to 2MB from a torrent file.

Torrentleech is the only private tracker I know of on this planet that you can MAX a FLOW 6MB connection on a 2 year old file. And unless you got a account there ai cannot see you even getting close to 2MB on most torrents.

hope that helps.

Over the last two weeks Flow has been working like crap. It started after a day-long interruption. I have to reload almost every page and the the time to find the ones that do load first time is long. Is anyone having a similar problem with Flow?
