Oscillating Download Speed
Posted: June 5th, 2011, 3:12 am
Version: 0.6.2
OS: OSX Snow Leopard
Install-type: OSX Installer
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: None
Is the issue reproducible? Yes
So this is my first post here...came by looking for some help.
I have a 4MB connection, but I'm seeing oscillating download speed. I get max speed (around 490Kb/s) and then it goes down, almost to cero, just to climb back up again. I have a screenshot of a graphic showing this, but don't really know if it is ok to post it. It Actually looks like this:
/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\
The server is not an issue, as I switched to another entirely different on. and the same thing happened. I wonder if it's related to my hardware (shouldn't be, I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM), but if I cap the speed to around 150Kb/s then the download speed is constant at that speed and there are no peaks/valleys.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
