Christmas Tree 3997 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Usually I have no problem downloading stuff fast. Currently I am downloading at rediculously slow speeds (9.0 kB/s) using views. Any ideas why this could have changed all of a sudden. Assume Im not a total idiot with this sort of thing. I have run a speedtest which shows about 9mbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Your ISP has throttled your connection because you've exceeded your usage limit. Not sure I want to know what you've been downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
