My download speeds seems to be limited to 2.8-3 Mbits/s (365 KBytes/s) since June 18, 2025. This started yesterday and still happening today. I thought it was some temporary routing issue, but still on going. I tried no-SSL port 119 as well as SSL port 443 and 563, same problem. Regular web/http connection speeds are fine.
If I add extra connections, the speeds gets halved and seems to be limited to 3 Mbits/s. I usually get around 12-13 Mbit/s per connection. Been using for 6+ months, occasional slow downs, no major issues.
