I think it recognises we're in South Africa, knows about the capping, and takes pity on us.

Wikipedia says . . .

Joost (pronounced 'juiced') is an interactive software for distributing TV shows and other forms of video over the Web using peer-to-peer TV technology, created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (founders of Skype and Kazaa).

also irritating having to wait for a long time for a program to start. And given that it looks to use about 425MB an hour means SA is sadly not ready for it yet.

I am on a 512k line and it is not watchable. I think you really need a 1m line atleast for it to work.

 

[Jongi]

on my 4mb line it kept on telling there is a problem with the connection or some such. but it streamed some total recall feature which seemed to have a bit of soft porn.

 

[kiepie]

Nothing on a 384k line

If you're having connection problems make sure the correct ports are being forwarded

Opening ports required by Joost: If you know that your ISP allows you to use UDP but still can't see any video, you'll need to check that your firewall or router is configured to allow access by Joost application. In particular, make sure that the following are enabled:

TCP access, outbound, to ports 80, 443 and 5223.
UDP access, outbound, to port 33333.
If you have a public IP address and UDP inbound on port 33333 is unfiltered, the client may use UDP on port 33333 inbound.
If you want to chat from within Joost, you'll also need to enable inbound TCP access to port 5223.

Will check the port situation out. Wouldn't the Windows firewall take of that automatically when you choose Unblock the Joost application?
