Better cross your fingers that your internet provider didn't throttle or limit your speed. Its very rare but I know 1 friend that had it happen to him.

i think they have because ive always used vuze and its always been reliable until last night.so i downloaded utorrent and its the same very very slow download how do i get my isp to remove my limit i dont download that much probably 10gb a week

I'm in the UK, and I can assure you Piratebay isn't blocked for me, just checked 10 seconds ago. However there is an alternative which is temporary offline at the moment The Games4theworld Bay - Download music, movies, games, software and much more!

my isp is o2 and piratebay is blocked but u can access via a diffrent web address think its tpb or something anyway that shouldnt affect my download speeds not goin over 40kbps

---------- EDIT ----------

just tried my laptop at my brothers house and its downloading at full speed so is it something to do with my isp or router
