Free iBurst bandwidth after midnight

Broken again - as far a RS is concerned - not sure o the rest... So my question becomes relevant after all....has IBURST decided to block RS?

RS works perfectly on iBurst at all times, full speed - 125KB/sec.
 
Rapidshare works fine for me as well. Getting great speeds after hours.
 
Just a rather curios observation I made this morning as I watched my gentoo update. I have 2 black UTD modems on two accounts and the modems are standing right next to each other. Since I use load balancing every package is fetched on the other modem. However, with every second package I download I get 100kb/s and with the other modem I get 20kb/s.
All packages come from the same server, both modems are connected to the same tower, both have 100% signal.

The only reason that I can think of is that I was once cut off on my one account for abuse and that they permanently throttled me on that account.
Maybe mr r00igev@@r has a simple solution...

Have you tried switching around the logins? For example, on modem1 you're logged in as user1, and modem2 you're logged in as user2... try loggin user2 into modem1 and user1 into modem2.

If the "throttled" user is slower on the other modem, that would be rather interesting!

There is no abuse throttling. If anything the policy was to disconnect until the end of the month unless a booster was purchased but that was only on 64 kb/s.

I suggest you check the network settings or mtu as a start.

This is my net config file:
config_ppp0=("ppp")
link_ppp0=("eth1")
plugins_ppp0=("pppoe")
pppd_ppp0=("defaultroute holdoff 3")
mtu_ppp0="1392"
username_ppp0="[email protected]"
password_ppp0="xxxxxxxx"
dhcp_ppp0=("nodns")

config_ppp1=("ppp")
link_ppp1=("eth2")
plugins_ppp1=("pppoe")
pppd_ppp1=("holdoff 3")
mtu_ppp1="1392"
username_ppp1="[email protected]"
password_ppp1="xxxxxx"
dhcp_ppp1=("nodns")

I have tried swopping the modems around and the one account is always slower than the other.

Are you using a static IP? I tried now and out of "happy hours" it works fine but during it fails to even connect to the RS servers....
 
From iBurst website:

Network downtime advisory

The providers of one of our data centre facilities is doing maintenance work on its power supply systems on Saturday, 15th May 2010 from midnight to 8am (that's this coming Saturday).

This will affect connectivity for iBurst Wireless users (except in Durban and Cape Town), and customers using our mail and hosting services. It will also affect many of our other services such as iDSL, WDSL and voice services.

So no downloading from Friday 23h59 for us Joburgers...:(

I seem to recall that Bubbles is radioactive?!?
Does the girlie in the pic realize her asset will never be the same again?? ;-)
 
I never had any trouble downloading from RS but for the last week or so my RS links stops downloading every morning at about 2am or so. I have a premium account. During the day it's working fine again.

If it's Iburst blocking rs then as much as I enjoy the uncapped I won't really have any use for it anymore. Was fun while it lasted though :) Hopefully this is not the case.

Downloads started working again at 4am but then stoped for a while and now seems to be going again...
