Title: AntMiner S1 Slowing Down My Internet Connection :(

[sorry for posting this is in the wrong section... I hope a moderator can move this to the right area... thanks]

Hi all,

I have a pair of Antminers that have been happily making BTC for the past couple of weeks.

But last night, both of them started slowing down my internet connection.

I have ADSL that normally runs at 10mbps. But when one antminer is connected to the network, the speed of my internet drops to 0.5mbps - which makes my internet practically unusable.

If I disconnect the antminer from the router, the speed of the internet increases back up to 10mbps.

Any ideas on what may be causing this issue?

Thanks!

Are you mining via the Stratum protocol?

Thanks for your help.

One miner is looking at:
stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334

The other is looking at:
http://mining.eligius.st:8337

Thanks!
