It shows that it has to be the AstraWeb, As your download from BlueYonder show that the speed of 285Kbps was Ok as your capped at 3Mb!

I've added the 3 astraweb servers and given them all a max of 10 connections.

Maybe that's your problem. Each server can easily max out your connection. Just choose one server (doesn't seem to matter which one) delete the others and give that one 10 connections.

It doesn't (currently downloading at 11meg).

[Keiran2K8]

It doesn't.

If he is getting the max speeds he can from a Blueyonder Server but slower when on AstraWeb... Then it isnt his connection as it is proven it can get high speeds!

Just because his connection is OK doesn't mean it must be Astraweb.

just using 1 server with 10 connections gives me about 32kbps adding another server as a slave increases it to about 60.

One thing I've noticed that seems to point at a problem at my end is i dont seem to be able to traceroute to anything. Even my 1st hop which is my router times out ???

Just because his connection is OK doesn't mean it must be Astraweb.

But by doing this we have elimanated the issue of it being a problem with the line!

Also it might be that some of the ports used by Grabit have been blocked by the router!

Yes, there's something wrong with your system/set up.

I just downloaded 12 files to test and hit a bit over 10meg so the Astraweb (europe) server is working fine.

What are you trying to traceroute to?

Do you have a firewall running (esp McAfee)?

[deano_uk]

Dont have macaffee running just windows XP firewall. Although Ive tried with it disabled and its the same.


I was trying to traceroute to europe.news.astraweb.com
