However, Harrison is right: PlusNet is owned by BT so you get screwed by BT's standars which isn't pretty. Anything to do with BT will throttle you silly from 4pm onwards. Torrent files fdor example will simply CRAWL. - Sky however is un-throttled & afaiac, it Rox. Got a 1.2Mb/sec DL happeninng atm with a 21.5GB version of "The Heat" movie. - Started an hour ago...only 4hrs to go @ current speed.
Really? Where did you get that info? As you know I'm on BT Infinity and haven't had any issues with torrents at any time of the day. I mostly use it for retro and emulation these days though.. and the last big download was for a MAME update, which downloaded at about 4MB/s. And the limit there was the tracker and seeders.

Sounds like your connection is slow Kin? 1.2Mb/s or MB/s? If it's just torrents how do you have it setup? What port are you using? And are you using PeerBlock and encrypted torrents?

I tend to use Usenet these days for most stuff and that maxes my connection for most downloads. Yesterday it was a steady 10MB/s (79Mb/s). Downloaded a 10GB film in about 18 minutes.
