Does neotel give you a unique ip that can connect to RS?

Much appreciated.

Rapidshare does work, but if you get disconnected, you've to restart downloading :(
I am getting a static ip, and other users are as well...

I think if you have auto resume accounts, you safe

Can I ask something - isn't static IP's the reason the UK people got sent mails because they used torrents/etc ?

Wouldn't it be better if you got a different ip every time?

According to Neotel, they do not offer static ip, but I have confirmed with other Neotel users and they are receiving a static ip...


I rather prefer Unique IP/Dynamic.

is that kilobits or kilobytes?

seems way too fast :-)

On Telkom ADSL I got around 50KBytes/sec, on Neotel it goes up and down like a yoyo, most I've seen is around 60 kBytes/sec

Note: connection quality is 2 bars out of 4.

cheers

2 out of 4 doesn't sound very good. Stolla has a good connection iirc, so it would be 190KB/s, kilobytes.

Telkom limits single international threads to 50-60KB/s, so that's the most you get off free rapidshare.

I would recommend we use FTP to download.
PM for more information :)

it doesn't matter either way. even with a dynamic IP, the ISP has records of which user had which IP address at any given time, so you are always traceable in cases like these.
