Things to do when your cap runs out

[ld13]

This might be somewhat off-topic, but isn't it possible to access international with local-only bandwidth through some kind of VPN service?

We had quite a few of those type of services back in the day... all of them died out afaik. Luckily openweb launched this: http://www.openweb.co.za/openbrowse.php

Maybe not 100% uncapped, but better than nothing.

Slightly off-topic but still relevant nonetheless:

All firefox users, install the addon called Flagfox which puts a little flag which represents the country where the current websites' server is located i.e. where it's hosted. It's a nice quick way to spot sites that will be accessible on local only.

all viacom sites can be accessed locally
nick.com-nickelodeon

Wow, this is the most useful post I've seen on myadsl. Thanks for the work.

ftp://ftp.agasa.co.za/games/ on the front page should be changed to ftp://ftp.agasa.co.za/, IMO, theres more stuff on that FTP in the root directory

The HTC website seems to work as well, I don't see it on the front page, so I assume it hasn't been posted for already: anyway here's the link www.htc.com

Sick!! Matacafe works locally!!!!!

not completely unfortunately, some vids dont show and the metacafe app does not work locally , im thinking this is a case of only the most vids watched by us in sa working, that said though still awesome

 

[.Froot.]

Are there any World of Warcraft Local Servers??

Yes. A lot of unofficial ones where apparently (or so I've heard) there are no duplicate cd-key issues... but along with that comes crappy game play due to "out-of-bound" errors

 

[LazyLion]

not completely unfortunately, some vids dont show and the metacafe app does not work locally , im thinking this is a case of only the most vids watched by us in sa working, that said though still awesome

That's weird. They all work just fine for me.

 

[rambo919]

That's weird. They all work just fine for me.

really? for me most new ones work but if i search for something specific most dont show

 

[timmy52]

they are youtube videos that don't show

 

[feo]

Most of them work for me. Maybe refreshing the page might help.

they are youtube videos that don't show

Huh?

 

[MyWorld]

Some of the metaface videos are hosted on partner sites, like YouTube.

 

[charlieharper]

So even if the local free WOW servers are crap, can someone just send me a link to the registration site please?
Thx
