797461 2009-08-02 12:46:00 does xnet throttle torrents?

Not as far as I know. Could be wrong though. I don't usually download torrents that have a massive amount of peers however.

Currently have a torrent going between 40-50KB/s. There isn't a huge swarm however.

I have gotten up close to 200KB/s on some torrents before on xnet.

797462 2009-08-02 21:18:00 hell yes.Its just hard to tell as their normal feed sucks so bad.

Have a torrent coming in at the moment, 1300 seeds, 1247 peers, shes coming in at 20kb/s.:groan:

Take my laptop elsewhere, get 5 times the speed.

797463 2009-08-03 03:36:00 does it matter what plan im on, as im not on the torrent plan and pay a flat rate of $1.02/GB Mirddes (10)
797464 2009-08-03 04:15:00 They throttle everything else, so why shouldn't they throttle torrents too? JJJJJ (528)
797465 2009-08-03 04:30:00 They even throttle their clients!

Don't even think about it - get rid asap. You don't need the hassle.
