Your 20meg might be getting treated more restrictively, especially if your access is a bit more frequent?

Might be worth looking at how many connections you are throwing out at once, in case that is overloading something. Even on 50 meg I'm finding 8 is plenty. I know everyone assumes linux is "safe", but surely no firewall is a risk?
I will give it another test out of STM hours.

5 connections, I thought that sounded fairly conservative? Do you think I should try more connections? I don't really understand NG connections tbh. I can't see why I'd need more than 1.

Regarding Linux, I've got my VM supplied router in the way of the nasty folks out there on the web, which has a firewall on it
