Finally got my new slingshot connection working today after 4 days of waiting for them to set it up properly. The top plan they offer (FS/FS). One of the first things i did was check the speed on speedtest.net, which i was extremely happy with, next i tried the speeds of torrents, which again i was extremely happy with. But now, a few hours later, my torrent speeds will not go above 150kb/s no matter what tracker (public and private) i use, or how many seeds i am connected to, this is extremely annoying.

I first experienced this at around 6pm, i thought it was just a temporary thing at the time, but my speeds have not gone past 150kb/s since then. Does slingshot throttle bittorrent? I ran the bittorrent throttle test by Glasnost twice and each time i got the same result,  The measurement data is too noisy to detect whether your ISP rate limits your download traffic. Re-running the test while ensuring that no other downloads or uploads are running in the background might fix this problem. I am not running anything else while i ran these tests.

And yes, i have made sure my torrrent client is not limiting the speed.

So once again, does slingshot throttle bittorrent?

EDIT: I was downloading at 1.2mb/s via torrent for just under 2 hours
