| For some reason I've been getting a really low download speed lately, downloading EE from the sendspace site. It used to be a lot faster, now it's down to 4 KB/sec, and one file downloads up to 7 hrs. What's up with that, or is the problem with my connection? Anyone else having problems with the speed? |

It could be your ISP has started to use 'Traffic Shaping'
Try downloading from windows update... if your speeds are good there but torrents only suck, your being traffic shaped. |

| I just tried one of the files and was getting around 60k/s - I know that with the free service you can go slower though if there's a lot of people downloading. If you can pay for their premium service you should get 500k/s+ though |

| it seems to be fine now with last night's EE, I'm getting my usual download speed. Maybe there was a problem with the site. |

Indeed...
grabbed 2 files at a very nice rate... between 2.5 & 1.3MB a second, whilst most from there max out at 50k. |
