SSL on mweb uncapped

[SirPremacy]

Know I know mweb doesnt like it when you use SSL for usenet downloading. But im not planning on using it to bypass any shaping, if I set my scheduler to only DL in the evenings, do you think mweb will still want to kick me? I mean after hours is unthrottled anyway? and during the day I use my line for business stuff so I dont want to be DL then.

Heavy data use using ssl will get you in trouble regardless of the time of day.

Shaping (not throttling) on Mweb is always active so use of ssl bypasses shaping. The amount of encrypted data you download determines whether you're flagged as an abuser or not.

ok thanks. I understand the concept better now. Do mweb first send out an warning if they think im abusing it? Then I can change my ways afterwards?

I think you get 3 warnings by email before they kick you off.
