    Default More issues with Astraweb?

    ... or is it just me?

    Past week or so I'm getting periods of time where my downloads will sit at 0 kb/s and do nothing, no warnings and then will bust into life and sit at its usual 1950 kb/sec.

    Not sure if it's Astraweb or my ISP - I'm using SSL on 563. I may add the Non-SSL as an additional server and see if it switches to that.

    Mine's the same mate. Up and down like a tart's drawers. Dunno if it's them, ISP or both.

    I just added the Non-SSL connection and disabled the secure one and still get the same problem - it isn't happening often but a bit of a pain when I want to quickly dive in and pull of a quick file.

    Use alt.binz and use the euro ssl for default, then use the generic ssl and us ssl for secondary. Works fine using this setup.

    Also using SABnzbd+. AFAIK the SSL server details didn't change... but I updated the Non-SSL one.

    I'm with TalkTalk, note that despite their bad reputation they have never let me down.

    Been getting problems again today, just sitting at 0 KB/s a lot of the time.

    EDIT - That was with SSL... on the standard EU connection I'm getting 40 KB/s.

    Whenever mine was dropping to 0Kb it was complaining in the logs about articles not being found etc - might be doing the same with yours?

    I'm on 443 at the moment and getting the same issues regardless of port.

    Not at the moment, but I did get this earlier with a NSMB Wii download.

    I've split my connections on 463 and 8080 (10 on each) and I'm still getting full speeds and no fails!

    Working fine this morning, a nice steady 2.07 MB/s. Very odd.
