Welcome to Myadsl Cipha

Torrents on iBurst only work on the 9 gig packages. All the other packages they are heavily shapped so that they don't work at all or run very slowly.

The only ways to get around this is to use a socks proxy/ Http Proxy / VPN or the torrent box service.

Socks Proxy's Vpn's etc....

www.openweb.co.za
www.nukecap.co.za

Torrent box - WHICH IS NOT WORKING AT THE MONENT. Don't sign up until it's going again.
www.torrent-box.org

What is a torrent box?
You pay a monthy amount and get access to a "server" overseas.
It has a web interface. What you do is get your torrent file from a website, and upload to the TB.
The TB has a 100mbit internet connection. The P2P stuff so uploading and download is done by the TB. Once the torrent is downloaded, you goto a downloads page. You click on a link to the file you downloaded and get by Http. So full speed.
Gets around the shaping issue with WBS and the uploading large amounts of P2P data and wasting your cap. A TB is cheap.
