@zwinna I've noticed it too and it did, at least initially, seem to be linked via timing to the new site rollout. I had to update my qBittorent version recently - for a mainly unrelated reason - and this definitely saw an improvement. Not a complete resolution though.

My maximum d/l speed is 8mb/s. Before "everything" I was regularly achieving this, obviously depending on how well seeded the torrents I was leeching were, and/or how many torrents I was leeching at the same time. After the rollout (at least seemingly that timing) it dropped to about 4mb/s. Upgrading my client has moved it up to around 6.5mb/s sometimes, though not that often.

However, when I d/l from ThePirateBay, again a site that usually went up to 8mb/s for the more popular torrents I was leeching, my total max is still around 6.5mb/s.

So that suggests it is an ISP throttling issue, at least in part. I'm loathe to actually ask them though, for fear of an "Ah yes, we've been wanting to talk to you!" response!

thank you, kevin!
