Re: Superhub installed p2p now rubbish
Yeah, standard. I'm on 20Mbps. With Ambit 250 modem and Linksys WRT54GS v2.1 on a well-seeded torrent the full 2500kb/s is available. With the Super Hub running current firmware, I get 300kb/s. As a bonus, web browsing also stops, so win-win really. 
As a result I'm not upgrading to 30Mbps yet, even though it would be free as I already have the Super Hub. Rather a slower more reliable connection running at peak speeds than one that barely works at all.
Just spreadin' the good word.

Re: Superhub installed p2p now rubbish
Depends on who you speak to. From what I can gather, some Super Hubs give decent performance and some don't. Although I have noticed most of the people saying they don't (myself included) tend to use their connections more heavily so it sounds like under stress the thing can't handle it.
My contention is, if it's tripping up for sub 100Mbps connection speeds on the WAN side, how the hell can it manage three or four times that? Although of course the firmware update remains to be seen so that might help matters.
Me personally, there's some anomaly on my account whereby the MAC for both my original blue NTL-badged Ambit 250 and new Super Hub can be interchanged, so I can nearly side-by-side comparison the two giving me something of a unique insight into the differences. Not that I mention it much, for obvious reasons.

Re: Superhub installed p2p now rubbish
Well I had no issues downloading at 1.5Mb/s p2p (on a 30Mb connection using a SuperHub) earlier today.

Re: Superhub installed p2p now rubbish
I had no issues downloading with utorrent and achieving ~2.2Mb/s on a 30Mb connection with the superhub earlier today.

I take it you've turned off IP Flood detection?

Re: Superhub installed p2p now rubbish
key info missing number of connected peers/seeders.
thats what breaks poor routers, not the throughput.

Re: Superhub installed p2p now rubbish
This is where something like Smallnetbuilder's simultaneous connections test would be useful. Anyone wanna try run one?

Re: Superhub installed p2p now rubbish
Well I can honestly say mine runs superbly, DLing around 3.7MB/s last night.
Normally have speed restrictions enable in utorrent but thought I'd see what the SB could give if allowed and sure wasn't disappointed.
A 100mb bin test file from fuller.zen.co.uk/test/ also gave >36MB/s.
So until it all goes titsup I'm one happy chappy.
My only critism is that when adding dedictated IP it insists on rebooting for ever PC you add.
