hi, just now, i realised i have been pausing and resuming a download i've been doing, just to make it download. im on the slingshot FS/FS plan and ive been doing this during free peak hoursInnocent.

ive added these three screenshots that i will refer to:

what happens is i download the game, and exactly 3 minutes into the download (i timed this), no data comes through and i have to press pause and resume to get it working again. You can see this in effect in pic1 and 2, where the troughs are the periods of inactivity of the download.

in pic2 there is a dip which doesnt last long cos i knew it was gonna happen so i paused and resumed it straight away Tongue out

additionally, pic 3 shows what happens when i dont even press pause and then resume.

this is my speedtest result during that time



This is kinda suspicious cos its always exactly cuts off the download 3 minutes after starting it (firefox and utorrent still works fine).

i havent tried downloading anything else to test out this thing thats happening so im just wondering if anyone else has experienced this

or is there a reason to this occurance???

im running windows 7 x64 RC 7100, using a dynalink rta1335

What he said, basically Slingshot traffic management at it's finest (ie: crap).

Congrats, you've discovered slingshots awesome shaping policies, which have been in place for several months. These are the reason why when someone is considering slingshot i tell them not to touch them with a barge pole, and if they have slingshot leave immediately.
