t's still working fine here for me; are you using Telstra in Australia? They've 
had a number of problems this year with routing issues, and they are evidently 
undergoing another similar issue that started a few days ago, see 
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2233936&p=8

It's not clear to me exactly what subset of Telstra customers are affected by 
this, unfortunately.

I have started to experience the same issue - downloads will stop completely 
when the limiter is enabled, or start for a minute then stop again.

I'm on Internode in Victoria. I have tried setting limiter to Internode VIC and 
Internode SA with the same result.

I guess Internode may have moved some servers around?

I have contacted Internode and they claim nothing has changed all IP's to 
unmetered content is still the same and they have no control over the valve 
content distribution servers.

FREE IP's on Internode

ss_list/

So I would be pointing the finger at Valve they have made changes recently

ISP Internode here.
I fixed this issue by installing an old version of steam limiter (0.7.0.2) 
which has different filtering rules. When i monitor the IP addresses which are 
being used (through TCPview) I can see that most of them are for the approved 
internode IP addresses. It is easy to just close the bad connections again 
using TCPview.
Im downloading Far Cry 4 and It's finally working.

Yes I agree with #6 morgan.p...@gmail.com
I am running the old version 0.7.0.2 and have used TCPview to monitor the 
connections.

I was able to see that the connections made to servers outside of my chosen ISP 
(Internode) was being made by the Steamclientwebhelper.exe so I blocked it from 
making connections through my firewall seems to have solved the problem for now.

Seems there are lots of others complaining around the net about this 
Steamclientwebhelper.exe and the amount or memory it can consume spawning 
multiple processes. 

It doesn't appear to be causing me any problems blocking this I am connected to 
friends and downloading game files from my ISP's mirror with out issue.

Thankyou for your help with this Morgan.p your a legend.
