Sites Cached on Saix Local

ATI and Intel also loads. Weird.

Bombs out when one tries to d/l a driver though.

ETA: If you trace it back, it gives the same IP as the place I d/l DirectX from:

a961.g.akamai.net [165.165.39.139]

I just downloaded the latest nvidia drivers from the site and I'm capped at this moment.

Akamai have local servers so maybe it redirects to those and that's why it works?

Sounds about right. I wish there was a way to figure out what sites are cached though.

Sorry, I meant the ATI one.

Downloads don't work for the most part.

I always wondered why I could download the Heroes graphic novels from the NBC.com site on my local account :D
 
Just confirmed this one, downloads from trials.adobe.com work through local accounts :)

For example, if you wanted a trial version of Photoshop CS3 Extended (in English for Windows) you could click on this link http://trials.adobe.com/Applications/Photoshop/CS3/Win/ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe and download it with a local account...

You can't browse www.adobe.com with local account though, so you'll need some international bandwidth to get the links ;)

if on local only, what happens when you set your proxy to cache.saix.net:8080 ?

would be great if the answer to that was what we wanted it to be. btw when using cache.saix.net:8080 as a proxy, is it a v4 or v5?

You get a forbidden message :p It's like that if you use any of the SAIX proxies on a local-only account, well for me at least...
 
Those sites are all on the 165.165.0.0/24 IP range. TelkomInternet also has a subnet within that IP subnet; they were obviously too lazy to add just their portion of the subnet and rather added the whole 165.165.*.* which is why we're able to access these sites.
Somehow I dont expect this to be the case for much longer.. whenever a window of potentially vulnerable opportunity opens up in this country, consumers milk it and exploit it so badly that it all gets limited. That's why we dont have uncapped internet, and that's why we don't have bottomless cokes at restaurants, etc. South Africans only know how to abuse... It's a pity though, because then the rest of us suffer.

Bollocks... It's because of the high internet prices, people want VALUE out of their money

I know of people who rape several hacked accounts a month and consume over 150GB on each. I'm sure that's value for THEIR money.
 
the manner in which South African broadband users conduct their surfing habits is a direct result of our internet access costs being far too prohibitive and out of line with world standards.
