Things getting slower and slower. "Fast"-, "V2Dir"- and "stable"-flags are gone.
Speedtest (netztest.at): 24 Mbit/s down and 6,2 Mbit/s up, ping: 43 ms.
Notebook and router where both rebooted yesterday.
Now took a last look at it before sending this mail and all flags except
"stable" are back. Average bandwidth: 2,5 down and 2,3 up.
Whish you a nice sunday.
