Download slow down and then it just about stops....
« on: April 05, 2013, 01:13:14 am »
I've had this issue for several of the last versions.   

I import a NZB into Alt.Binz and the download starts.  I am limited to 20megabit down so it records 2000 on the graph at the bottom.  After awhile, I don't usually watch the downloads for longer than a few minutes, but eventually the download slows down to just several hundred kilobits.  I then switch from the US to the EU server my provider allows, start and stop Alt.binz and I'm back up to full speed.  Soonafter it is slow again.   

I installed grabit and get full speed the entire length of the downloads, several hours. 

Unless I can find a resolution I'm going to have to give up alt.binz and I hate that because I hate grabit compared to this. 

Any option to go back to something like version .036 or so of alt.binz?

Log would be a bit helpful.
0.39.9 is available for download or do you think it also suffers from the same problem?

Also a few questions. You say you must switch from us to eu servers to regain speed?? Are you 100% sure this is accurate?

I didn't have the log logging to a file.  I'll try it again and get a log for you.

Yes,  switching from US to EU servers works, and then it slows.   THen I switch back to US and it works and then slows.   Yes, weird. 

I've also noticed that if the files are a few days old or less, then it works better though that isn't always the case.

How / where do I upload the log file.

In the log file,  I started a download using eu servers.  Was getting 2000KB down.  Switched to US servers,  20-50k down.  Back to EU,  2000KB.   

I'll let it run on the EU servers for a bit and if it acts like it has been,  it should die in a bit and go down to a very slow speed.

That really doesn't look like altbinz problem to me...
Try playing with 'group select' option under server properties.
