Downloading Fedora-17 via bittorrent is going very slowly, averaging about 150 Kbytes/sec on a connection that usually achieves about 300 Kbytes/sec.* More interesting is that the connection is useless for every other purpose: very slow access to the Web; connections time out; etc.* When bittorrent is paused, these problems go away.* My provider is ATT, which advertizes connection speeds of about 300 Kbytes/sec down and 75 Kbytes/sec up.



Is ATT or anyone else watching for bittorrent traffic on my connection and cutting back other service because of it.

I downloaded f17 from
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/17/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso
and it too remained at roughly 150kbytes/s, when usually I can download
things from there at over 1.2 mbytes/s
I too am on att service, and speed is not the only issue.

I did a direct download using wget and http. The mirrors in Taiwan hadn't opened for
F17 yet. From the US to Taiwan I go an average of 1.31 MB/s. Thank you ä¸*è�¯é›»ä¿¡!

Before I enabled speed limits due to pre-empting complaints from my
wife, I was getting 1.5 - 1.8 mbps on the download via RCN cable.

I assume a router running DD-WRT and any other firmware with QoS was not
available, eh? Lol.
