Hmmm, I wonder if it is detecting Telkom's transparent proxy IP address (much like Rapidshare does) and it thinks the same IP address is trying to sign up. Because I also get the message "You are not allowed to register multiple accounts on this forum."

OK, so as we thought, the security software was detecting the IP address as one user... so this is Merlin's reply...
So those are the rules for Merlin's Portal:
1) If you want a new Merlin's Portal account PM me.
2) You must give me your desired username and e-mail address (Merlin will issue you with a password).
3) I will forward your info to Merlin to set up the account.
4) From there the account will be yours to set up as you want.
5) Be aware that we ALL fall under the same IP address, so if one of you cheats or messes up, then we all get banned.
6) You must preferably use a hotmail or gmail account e-mail as those are able to receive the e-mails from Merlin's Portal.
If you have any other questions you can send e-mail to Merlin ... merlin@merlins-portal.net

This is all because of Telkom's stupid transparent proxy which is screwing us all when it comes to rapidshare and other site login issues like this. Thanks again Telkom for being our big Pal! *** dripping sarcasm ***

Saix is Saix2 is Saix
Logically if "SAIX2" was a trial and no longer "exists" yet the service is much better now and you tend to always get a connection (or at least more of the time), one could deduce that "SAIX2" was integrated using some form of load balancing. No biggie, just means you only get your 2 connections (not 4 as may have been possible, I can't remember). So whether there are 2 servers are 32, it makes no difference. All load balanced systems work this way, resolving to the same IP etc. You think www.google.co.za is one server?

I thought you couldn't "ping" a news server?
/me goes to try.
well you can't as the SAIX newsserver doesn't reply to ping ICMP packets but it will still resolve the hostname to ip when you try ping it.
return on investment wise it is probably cheaper. Though IS GBs can have other "uses" Rather look at the "free" SAIX local-only on a capped account i.e. R79 or whatever for 1GB SAIX -- you get 2GB international (roughly) plus 10-15GB local only.. so that's R5ish per GB - almost IS prices

Cause I've been trying the whole weekend, with tons of different files from different NZB sites. I just can't think that IS will not even budge once on any of them. Or are there more settings that I'm missing?
I'm using Alt.Binz btw.
And thanks for the tip gripen, but assume that its only attainable through telkominternet ?
