Can Poplar be turned off then ?
Its awful at present
No one has contacted me yet from technical support either as promised 4 days ago...
I'm getting awful speeds from Telia in the USA now to the Poplar proxies, less than 40k a sec.
I'd post a trace but it would be from my ip - which is fine - put in the Poplar prox(ies) and its awful (as are speeds to Fileplanet & 3dgamers) as usual the proxy shuffle normally returns full speed after trying 2 or three different areas of the country.

Just got an answer to my ticket with my server.
They think the route is fine and it must be something at NTL:
Here is their reply with trace:

I did an MTR run, it looks pretty alright from here actually:

(ignore that Telia one, that's just them dropping too much icmp),
I figure that since the cache server is the last hop down the line in the run
that there's something odd at NTL between you and that machine.

I just tried a download through Poplar and speeds are still sub 40k, other proxies are fine, I'm getting pretty pee'd off that this is taking NTL so long to respond to !
