Hi Deluge support.

Just wondering if you can shed some light on something which has been happening on and off with my deluge downloads..

My isp uses traffic shaping measures during certain hours of the day, This usually limits me to around 50-100kb/s with each peer download rarely going about 10kb/s each..

Now for some strange reason the odd seeder on something i'm downloading doesn't get caught in the web (traffic shaped), and i don't know why.. But something i have noticed is that after about 30 seconds the seed thats slipped through the web and giving me better speed usually begins to slow down and join the speed of the rest of the seeders/peers..

Heres a screen shot to show briefly one which passed through the traffic shaping, 30 seconds after this screen shot was taken the peer then dropped (as predicted) to below 10kb/s..

Anyone able to shed some light on how this works and if theres a workaround?

this is pretty normal with isps, especially comcast. it's a "feature" that they call "powerboost", which means that at the start of a connection, they allow you to go faster and then begin to slow it down. this is supposed to make browsing the web faster, etc. that's my guess as to what's going on, anyway
