Tested Skype yesterday, very nice talking between me and the client, did not test the video call.

Its been blocked by a complaint of copyright infringement against a client.
We're waiting for our lawyer to resolve this.
 
Dave's last post in this thread was on Friday, which was a public holiday. Saturday and Sunday I am assuming he wants to rest a little. Why don't you guys give him till next week before you say he stopped reading the thread?

That will give you a list of his posts so you can find them on the forum.

[EDIT]And he posted, making mine unnecessary.[/EDIT]

Hilly said he'll do something to the FTP stuff a bit later today.
 
HTTP downloads seem fine maxing out at 29KB/s on a single thread but HTTPS is dead. Unable to connect to any secure site as a result PSN won't connect and can't do internet banking.

I was just reading this (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/12/only-two-years.html) and the 2 year older linked article (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/12/only-two-years.html). It makes me think of 2010.

With the FIFA world cup still not a reality in most South African's minds, 2010 will be gone before any opportunity has been enjoyed.

"I spent my time waiting, whining, worrying, and wishing." Because that's what seems to be going around these days. Fortunately, though, not everyone will have to confess to having made such a bad choice."

So stop thinking about how crazy the times are, and start thinking about what the crazy times demand. There has never been a worse time for business as usual. Business as usual is sure to fail, sure to disappoint, sure to numb our dreams. That's why there has never been a better time for the new. Your competitors are too afraid to spend money on new productivity tools. Your bankers have no idea where they can safely invest. Your potential employees are desperately looking for something exciting, something they feel passionate about, something they can genuinely engage in and engage with.

You get to make a choice. You can remake that choice every day, in fact. It's never too late to choose optimism, to choose action, to choose excellence. The best thing is that it only takes a moment -- just one second -- to decide.

Before you finish this paragraph, you have the power to change everything that's to come. And you can do that by asking yourself (and your colleagues) the one question that every organization and every individual needs to ask today: Why not be great?

This is the most amazing year that could ever be - that can be created in just one second. Don't miss it.

Now, not to be banned for being off-topic:

  • HTTPS is maxed out. Hilly will kill some nzbs as soon as he can.
  • He has developed a better gaming profile which he'll implement after lunch with his mom. (That may be late!)
  • FTP uploads are in the same time slot.

:D

Hilly Must be close to his mom

Start getting into the habit of ignoring those complaints :D Your job is to provide a dumb pipe, not look at what people are going to or getting involved in copyright cases. You might even be walking a dangerous legal line there if you dont have a court order.
 
384 KB line
Downloads without download manager: avg 13KB/s
Downloads with download manager: Avg 35KB/s
Did video skype calls yesterday and went as well as it could with my line. Made several calls, but had 2 dropped calls out of about 8 calls. I cannot determine if this is DG problem or maybe my line (Telkom problem).
I don't do news servers and rarely torrents. I can't comment on them. In general, I'm happy how this trial account works.
