Re: Slow Downloads - GigaNews
*Snip*

darius - this thread is about Giganews really, but in your case your slow speeds are caused by an overloaded peering link between llnw.net and ntl - I believe Easynews allow you to change your routing, and strongly suggest you do this.

Second to all, there's no traffic shaping action going on there it looks like congestion and poor routing.

Most news servers offer options to change routing paths, have a play and see if you can resolve by changing the route you are taking.

Also remember that a traceroute can take a completely different route from the server to you, and you to the server so if using these as proof of a fault always good to get the reverse one as well if you can helps to locate the fault.

Just to reiterate this appears to be congested peering as changing routing resolves the issue, there is no evidence of traffic shaping or throttling in the evidence provided

This thread is hard to read, could a mod please break down the offending massive line in post 25?
