Warning!! Snow Leopard uses consistent bandwidth!!

[rapidblue]

Hi guys,

Apologies in advance if this question has already been answered.
I am toying with installing snow leopard my imac but because of this thread and some problems reported with freehand mx i have held back.

If i install it, how easy is it to rollback?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Think you'll have to do a fresh install is you want to roll-back...
Problem seems fixed with the new VMB though

This is weird, I started getting this issue yesterday, but it only happens on ADSL, with my iphone connection it stops, need to figure out what the cause is...

Edit: only happens with my telkom ADSL pppoe connection...

That is weird! You running Little Snitch? Which service keeps sending and receiving data?

Ok, it's mDNSresponder acting up.

on afrihost (IS) or iphone(vodacom) it stops, but on saix it's constant.

Hmm... weird! I had the problem with my 3G card - stopped acting up with the latest version of Vodafone Mobile Broadband (assuming the drivers were fixed or something). Wonder what it could be on your ADLS??
You don't know anyone else using a Mac with SAIX?

It looks like mDNSResponder does not work well with the Saix/telkom DNS server or something.

Hmmm... maybe give Google's DNS a try to see if that makes a difference?

Yup, that was my next step in troubleshooting and it worked.

Looks like DNS issues on Saix, got the same answer on the Apple forums. thanks.

Cool! Glad to know that's working. I think I must try Google's DNS servers too - just to check how well they work

try opendns, it works great.

Just remember to flush you dns cache.
