You would have had to specifically enable (cut and paste the SAIX proxy address) into your settings. If you didn't do that, then no... you aren't using the proxy.

the connection with telkom still sucked but once i switched to afrihost there was an improvement with my torrents.

never had any problems using uTorrent on telkom... (other than getting capped too early in the month...

my whole internet ran an snail pace the whole day. Torrents barely made 5kbs-20kbs until about 9pm. Frustrating as allll hell. last ep of heroes
