For me it looks like overnet. As mldonkey said, 0.42 changed the
protocol.

I tested a few versions, and all of them got the same result:

Overnet: 0 (0.00 %)

So. To come down to my thought:

We we're all experiencing good download rates because of overnet but
now they're gone. Could this be the explanation?

Since a few days we all have the same problems? Overnet announced
"Varios Queuing problems fixed", the forum is full of posts like "Wow"
"I'm getting 210k/s, I NEVER had this before"..

They encouraged everyone to upgrade, and, as it seems, nearly
everybody did.
