I understand Vodafone is throttling connections but this is ridicules surely? Seems to be a fixed amount no dynamic shaping based on actual load on system.

Apsattv: Set your client to download the torrents over night if its that bad.
mrtoken: I use a seedbox then FTP back to nz.

dvkwong: Vodafone throttling torrents 100/20 Fibre getting 100-150KB 1% of possible connection speed.

dvkwong: I think if I pay for an advertised 100/20 connection I would expect better than 100-150kb during peak.
I was recently with slingshot on 100/20 and during peak I would get 10Mb via torrents.
So I am very disappointed that Vodafone vs slingshot advertised speeds are markedly different.
If Vodafone could adjust the way they do shaping or even up the fixed rate I would be happier but 100kb-150kb is a joke.

Your one aspect of how you perceive your speeds is very flawed. Torrenting is not in any way shape or form a way to gauge "The speed of which you pay for"
You can test your speed with www.speedtest.net and you should see the throughput you get on your connection. Do be aware connecting outside nz will most likely be slower than your line due to limited international bandwidth.
I am adamant that your client isnt configured correctly and or your downloading poorly seeded or well seeded but highly leeched torrents.
Come back to us with a speed test and your client configuration under the connection tab.

Yeah we torrent heavily in our house and have no major issues like the one OP is complaining of. I'm on VDSL unlimited and get 25/6 - Down/Up in Mbps throughput and via torrents I haven't actually checked the precise downstream speed but a 700mb file would be downloaded in 10-15mins if it has a decent amount of seeders. This happens when 3 other people in the flat download stuff too and also stream content off netflix in their rooms.
