I newsgroup after 9pm just fine - SSL 443 used.
Those are the official "typical peak hours", so the times could vary and also it doesn't say what "slowed down" actually means!

Bit off topic, which newsgroup is that?
You download on average 35gb every day, impressive.
Thats some going, i've had my supernews account for a year now done 7.3TB and thats between 5 people.
Dont think they are slowed down but something has been going on over the past few weeks which dont apply to their FUP.
I have posted this problem on their forums and they are still looking into the problem.
Well Virgin has been throttling p2p and nntp for a while however if you use ssl port 443 for newsgroups it shouldn't throttle you.
I'm a serious horder- eyeing up a Hitachi 4TB Touro Desk Pro USB 3.0 Hard Drive to add to my already large collection of storage.
Here's what I have in my desktop:

Is that media PC hidden somewhere, like in a cupboard? Hope so with the noise of all those discs :p

Noise, what noise? - my PC is very quiet (honestly)
Greens FTW.
No matter what port i tried, ssl on or off. Speeds have been slow.
I'm a serious horder

Yup! Only the best
When you've got a 100Mb connection it should be stress tested daily

Looks like I got him beat...
Since my last windows server re-install:
Unless I'm being dumb (and I am a bit drunk, to be fair), I work that out as an average of 2.5GB/hour or 60GB/day downloaded.
With ~19GB uploaded/day

They do power-down when inactive... don't get all that noisy.
Although my server's in my office... so when I want the quiet, I'm in another room.
I use an older 1TB HDD effectively as a swap disk... and even that doesn't get too noisy... it then offloads the torrents to the raid arrays when they're complete (gotta love utorrent's built in functionality for that!)... when they're not being accessed - they definitely power down.
I'm using windows software raid-5 though - a hardware raid-5 array wouldn't power down like that, usually.
Just had Virgin installed this afternoon (100Mb XXL). The download looks too low and the upload too high. Is this normal? Done the test around 8.50pm.
I'm not sure local utilisation has anything to do with it or if the installer got a bit confused when patching the connection

Speedtest is not a good measure of speed... stop using it... it only gets your panties in a bunch when it doesn't give you what you want

Superhub? goto http://192.168.0.1/VmRouterStatus_configuration.asp what is your max traffic rate for downstream and upstream.
http://192.168.100.1/VmRouterStatus_configuration.asp if in modem mode.
