So something that's been happening to me lately, I'll be capped with the 64k VAS and leave a download going during the day through the use of a download manager, the connection occasionally gets dropped every now and then and then when it reconnects the download tries to begin again but instead it picks up iburst's "You're capped!" page therefore losing the download link :/ This is particularly annoying with sites that either have a time limit between downloads (unless you're a registered user) or links that can't be resumed or else I'd just manually go get the link again. Is there no way that this redirect page can check what the client is requesting? Say like check if the page being requested is an html page or not and then only inform me of something I already know? I'm not trying to rant here but perhaps put forward a suggestion, not really sure how it works over there on Iburst's side but if they can that would be great as losing something like a 1.5gig game update isn't always fun :)

Are you using a broadband router or connected directly to the modem?

Billion Router, can that page be filtered from there?

EDIT- Found a URL Filter in my firewall settings, gonna do a bit of googling and hopefully that can solve all this :)

EDIT2- Aha! Keyword filtering ftw! Now hopefully the router will stop that link at the door and my download manager will be free to download the internet :)
