It's 8mb
I did another one and got 0.15mb or something.
Just gave the router a reset and its back up to 8meg. Weird...

[/URL]I meant to get access to the torrent sites and obtain the torrenting/magnet link, not to actually torrent via TOR - I'm well aware of how TOR and torrenting (or any downloading through TOR without sufficient protection for that matter) compromises you and the network node you're attached to.
Sadly 90% of UK ISP's have blocked access to torrent sites through normal means. Best they can do really to stop the "general public" from torrenting.
On a positive note, switching over to BT Infinity package with a no-cap on my bandwidth line in about 10days. Exactly the same price as Virgin Media but with better down/up speeds and finally no cap on my down/up if I go above their "threshhold".
Virgin Media really do rip you off if you use your bandwidth to its fullest =/
My Virgin Media results for anyone interested. Will update when on the BT line.

Ah fair enough, sorry
I've just moved house and use a different ISP now. Unfortunately they're a lot slower than Virgin, but don't block any torrent sites.
im on the same package never have ping issues, but i do have drop out problems with the superhub bloody thing keeps turning the anti flood protection back on
mine i pay for 150mb virgin media but its shocking for gaming so many ping issues
