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.
