I started to get complaints from members this week about slow download speeds from my server at i3d in Rotterdam. Yesterday I checked the graphs and the server is generating a constant 10 to 20mbit/sec bandwidth, not leaving enough room for other traffic even though it should have an unmetered 100mbit/sec connection. I can't even wget files to another server anymore, lucky if I'm getting 10kbit/sec, most of the time it stalls.
First I thought the server was hacked or used for a DDOS, so this morning I remotely switched it off completely, but now the strange thing is that even when it was switched off for a few hours, the graphs still show 10mbit/sec bandwidth during that period. How is this possible? Something wrong with the connection?
