All different kinds of wacky and wonderful files and programs, same probs, even on SSL, EU and Non-EU servers. IS ANYONE ELSES ASTRAWEB COLLAPSING BEFORE THEIR EYES? I'm usually cruisin' at like 7000KB/s

Probably more to do with my net than anything but since I signed up its been pretty terrible (I spoke to you on msn about it). Unfortunately, I cant be much more help but possibly try contacting them?

Could your ISP be throttling p2p connections?

Edit: ah nevermind, same goes for everyone by the looks of it XD

Usenet isn't P2P. And he's on Be* who never filter any P2P traffic, namely because as far as I am aware they don't actually have the equipment/technology installed to do that :D.

Plus you can configure it to use SSL over port 443 so it looks like any old secure traffic ;)

Astraweb is indeed having problems, I wonder what's causing them!
