    Hello all,
    I was downloading some random Linux iso off rapidshare.com last night, and at around 3am, it went very slow, and has been very slow since. Very slow being between 3.5KB/s and 20KB/s, as opposed to the usual 310KB/sec. Also, the rate would be fairly erratic, continuously jumping up and down.

    Browsing the internet also seemed to be affected, so I switched from the opendns, to eircoms dns server, and noticed a small increase, but not much.

    Was wondering is anyone else having this problem? I'm in Leixlip, Kildare.

    Seems it has fixed itself after a reboot. Don't know why: I rebooted earlier, but to no result. Meh, if it works, it works.
