Hello, just want to find out was the p2p shaping only physically kicked-in last week or it was always there? I used to download from p2p programs until last week. Was I lucky or it was the same to everybody? Thanks.
 
its been around since april 1st, they even tried shapint before that in the pre-launch, what happened last week (well technically the week before on wednesday) was they stuck in a better bandwith manager to throttle users and shape p2p more. You can either try various work arounds or upgrade to the 9GB package to take advantage of p2p.

Alternativly get a shell account on a server and use that to download p2p stuff and then leech it through http later
 
Thanks. So its true then i think i will switch to 30gb cap no shaped adsl for my needs. I personally do not mind to be switched to 64k after 3gb or even 1gb. But shaping p2p was never metioned when i subscribed iburst. Next time they might just disable our msn and say we must pay a monthly fee R50 to use it, who knows.
 
it was actually, they said priority services are 1mbit everythign else is shaped, because of the nature of p2p shaping ussually cripples it totally, but adsl might be just what you're lookin for

Any recommendations on a shell service, slim?
 
not really no, I own servers, pay me and I'll hook you up with a shell and like 100GB bandwith :)
 
cool! i also want a shell account and i will pay! but for how much? :o
 
50 bucks for 10GB storage and 100GB transfer, I don't normally do this :P
you could hit up other shell providers but they wont give you that much bandwith and turn a blind eye to your warezy activity :p
