Both here and when I get Richard (i.e. My service provider) to test from his end of the 'pipe'. Indeed, I did a test and tried running two fetches on two machines in parallel. Each ran at the same speeds as if only one were running. Normally, video comes at about 50 Mb/s. Presently it is more like 7.5 Mb/s (per fetching stream) so I could do a number of fetches in parallel if needed! However radio (audio) fetches run at more like 14 Mb/s which is more normal here. So it does look like a CDN problem. The curio being that it was fine until a couple of days ago, and that no-one else seems to have had the same change. I'd not altered either the fetching command or anything else I can think of that might be relevant. All being well, I'll know more shortly. Currently doing other things (like email catchin as here!)
