Since about 4-5 days ago I've noticed that Usenet downloads have become incredibly slow ... eg. down from about 8megabytes per second to half a megabyte per second. This is even 'off peak' when the network is quiet.

Back in the dim and distant past, VM used to throttle p2p and Usenet pretty heavily at certain time periods but then seemed to stop it. Have they started up the practice again with a more aggressive policy?
