708634 2008-09-29 08:08:00 I'm on the Slingshot Max plan, but am finding that while I can browse web pages at nearly full speed, if I try and download any file with an MP3 or RAR extension, that they're being throttled down to about 1KB/s.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Here's an example file I am currently trying : dnbmix.ru

Any feedback appreciated.

"Unlimited" plan. Might have to change to the capped plan.

708636 2008-09-29 22:59:00 I just downloaded a RAR file & it came through at 160-200 kb/s
Would usualy be 450-500 but it is school holidays now.
Swift 2GB plan.
