Slow planet download

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Bittorrent OR http download of planet file. I tried both, and got 
exactly the same problem.
2. Start download
3. It picks up speed (in my case it seems to hit a ceiling at 1.0Mbyte/s, while 
my other torrent downloads usually reach 1.8Mbyte/s)
4. After it has downloaded about 144MB, the speed drops by about 95-99%, or 
even 100%

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the planet file download to keep the original speed (roughly) up until 
the download finishes.

Instead, the speed drops to a trickle, or even halts completely after about 
144MB (sometimes 136MB, sometimes 148MB).

If I pause and resume the download, it picks up its normal speed again, but 
after about 140MB, the same thing happens again. Every time.

I use 1.1 build 193 on Windows 7, using latest 64-bit jre6, and specifying that 
it should grab 2000MB of memory.

Dear user, thank you for your report.

Speed settings influence BitTorrent downloads only, HTTP downloads are not 
influenced. If you encounter the problem with both methods, the problem could 
be caused by your connection, internet provider, firewall etc. Similar problems 
could be caused by a traffic shaping software as well.

Sorry for not responding earlier. I realise that this is hard to debug, but I 
doubt that the problem is with my connection, ISP etc. I control my firewall 
myself, and I know there are no limits set in it. I have no problems with large 
downloads otherwise, either by HTTP, torrent, FTP, SFTP or FTPS. The computer 
has lots of free resources, so it's not that it's choked up either. Now, if I'm 
the only one having this problem, it's not worth investigating, but if you get 
the same kind of report from others, it's a different story.
