Ok, so a while back, maybe three weeks now, I downloaded some stuff from the bf's computer via Filezilla. It was about 6GB, and I stopped it during the main part of the day, so it mostly downloaded when no one else was using it. Two or three days into the download, everything s l o w e d down, (to dl speeds of around 4kb/s) so I stopped (and finished the next week, haha).
Since then, I've been having problems with my internet speed and connection. Around 18:30pm, and 8pm, it especially grinds to a complete halt. It can take literally half an hour to load a page here, if at all. Emails, accessing schoolwork online, pretty much anything is impossible. After about 23:30 it becomes ok again.
I have ran Avira, SUPERantispyware, and F-Secure numerous times, but it never finds anything. Also, I just booted up my old laptop for the first time in months (poor thing never did fully recover, I keep meaning to turn it into a Linux machine) and that is working fine. I downloaded Opera and Pidgin, loaded pages, it's all normal. So all I can assume, is either I'm missing something, there's a super sekrit virus somewhere, or the admins restricted me.
I'll have to ask tomorrow somehow about the latter (how the heck can you do such politely? And what if I am wrong, ugh), but for now, is there anything else I can try? This is incredibly frustrating, and contrary to popular belief I do use the internet for more than LTV. I couldn't access my school email or the online virtual learning environment, so didn't know about a meeting with a lecturer, for example.
What bothers me is that I have downloaded large amounts at a time before (such as entire series of shows at once), and nothing has happened, so I don't know what makes this time such. Thoughts?
