I'll help :)

Is this a backlog due to telkom capping? Having unlimited http downloads is the sole redeeming feature of a uunet account. :)

If you check a few posts earlier you'll realize that he isnt using torrents which is probably why he's been able to acquire so much content. ;) I too have that very same problem :)
 
Look at this at a different angle.

Any price reductions in the Telkom ADSL service is good in the long run. When the SNO eventually start to offer services, they will have to be cheaper than Telkom, otherwise nobody would go through all the trouble to change provider (and change telephone number) just to pay more.

They probably ban all their employees from work and at home from going to this site :p

Besides, SA is not really that kind of country to get leaked information lots of the time, a fact that can be evidenced by the lack of tabloids in this country (Thank God for that!)
 
Do not be over zealous

Telkomthemselves said they will never give up their profits, they will just find another way of recollecting it. Point and case is the per Gig billing. They gained hundred and thousands of extra $ per month with this scheme and will willingly give back 10% of the extra proceeds to con the poor South African consumer b@stards that they are good in their intentions to reduce the service cost. Everybody by now in South Africa have forgotton what and why TELKOM did in Nov 2005 with the per Gig billing scheme and now the South Africans accepted their fate, talk about it like it is normal and we look at the next TELKOM goalpost with awe and thank them for the crumbs they offer back. Typical South African consumer mentality syndrome and thats why TElkom, DSTV, and others get away with this daylight robbery of the consumer. We should do what France do with these issues! Ditto!
