Hi All,

I keep getting this message when I try and go to rapidshare:

www.rapidshare.com:80 cannot be allowed by OpenBROWSE. OpenBrowse is a browsing only proxy. Sorry!

I thought that OpenBROWSE was infact there for downloading on weekends, never had a problem in the past, but know I can't even access the website.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanx
 
Let's wait for Mr.Beep. I also used rapidshare before over weekends and it worked.

Do you have any problem with your openbrowse program not responding during normal browsing? I had quite a few recently which my internet suddently just dies and when I point my mouse over to the systray icon, it shows Openweb initialising, that's it.

Not sure if it's related to Telkom upgrading my line in the area (my line will drop and re-sync every now and then recently) or if it's openweb proxy acting up.
 
Everything else works fine, except rapidshare. This happened a couple of wkends as wel and then corrected itself, weird.
 
Hey Friends

RapidShare should be allowed.

It is P2P and torrents which is not allowed.

Please try now?

Hi Mr Beep,

It is back up now and working, what was the problem that it was sill blocked on the weekend?
 
Openbrowse is SLOW AS HELL and not even worth using, this service is going to the dogs!!!
 
Hi Spy,

Personally I do not feel the service is going to the dogs.

There was a problem yesterday, I do apologise, which we have resolved. A Telkom backbone fault caused slow response times.

However, right now the service speed is flying!

MRBEEP / KEOMA,

This service is so slow that I struggle to do any significant surfing on international sites, what is the point of having 30Gb cap if there's no way in hell that you can use it?

This service works for short periods and then it just dies, that in my eys is not working properly!

TO top things of as of Sunday morning 10.30am I get this message again "
www.rapidshare.com:80 cannot be allowed by OpenBROWSE. OpenBrowse is a browsing only proxy. Sorry!"
How does this constitute a service that works?

To recap - since Friday 18.00 when opentime starts untill Sauturday morning 10.30 am rapidshare was blocked, then it was unblocked by openweb. The service worke through Saturday, downloading at a max speed of 20kbs untill Sunday morning at 10.30 am when rapidshare is blocked again.

Please explain what flying in your eyes mean?

Can't open rapidshare too. Download speed from certain sites seem to be restored but unstable, and I still can't login to my IM as usual.

PS, some website redirection also not working, a US website tried to redirect me to paypal for payment and with openbrowse it won't load?

When connected to a proxy server, a ping performed on Windows do not go through the proxy server, this the results obtained from such a test is irrelevant.

The results you see would be the result of pinging an international site through a local only link.

Flying would be similar to Mango, 1time, Kulula etc.

In my eyes however, speeds of 200KBps is pretty good for a 512kbps package, which should on a good day obtain about 52 to 54K roughly.

However, I have extended an invitation for you to PM myself on another thread, so that we can resolve the problem.

Kind regards

Thanks Mr.Beep. If it's Telkom fault then it's understandable, as long as there's enough capacity to cater for the increase in demand on the Openbrowse service.
 
Never said that I got speeds of 200kps, I said that I only recived DOWNLOAD speeds of 20kkps.

MRBEEP, don't take me for a fool, rapidshare only worked for a max period of 36 hours out of a total of 60 hours on the weekend and when it worked it was slow as hell, the rest of the time it was blocked although you kept saying that it should not been etc. etc. Maybe it was flying again because you blocked rapidshare and thus limiting anyone from dowloading and getting average surf speeds up.

I wish you and you're company all the best, but I am exercising my right as consumer and going to spend my money elsewhere!

openbrowse is still pretty good value for money. Streaming and downloading basically doesn't work at all - I've learned to accept that and use my 1gig for d/ls. But the ability to surf after my cap is invaluable.
