I have tried two different modems(different brands and at different locations), two different VPNs(currently using privateinternetaccess), two different computers(both on windows 7) and my torrents just will not steadily go over 30kbps(and its pretty rock solid at that 30, it bounces around between 29 and 31). This issue started back in march or april. Just one day torrents through the VPN stopped working. Sometimes they will go 5-6Mbps for 5 minutes at a time and then crash to 30kbps, sometimes a steady 1-1.2mbps for the whole time its downloading. Before I could just start one and it would download in like 3 minutes, now I have to restrict the total sources connected to to about 8 for it to even function. Before it would do however many it could connect to and be super fast about it. I have tried literally every setting, every combination, changed everything I can think of to narrow it down(it runs fine without the VPN but then I get tons of bitchy letters from mediacom so the VPN stays on) and a host of searches and forums suggesting fixes(all of which did exactly nothing, zero changes in the behavior). Im at a loss here.
