Sometimes it's the DNS servers. Try changing them and see if it gets better.

last two days streamyx became wonky here in Kuching for me. i'm on a 1MB line and usually getting 80K/sec from direct downloads. suddenly everything drop to 7-10K/sec.

megaupload and rapidshare also went down the drain somehow. torrents no need mention la..as usual. so i tried using a proxy and bamf! speed go up...almost to normal.

anyone hear anything lately from tmnet? maybe they doing upgrading or some line broken again? i don't like using proxy, not stable la...

the ip i can get is 60, 118, 124 range...usually 60 works great for me. now all three got problem.

Hmm.. They could be trying to throttle downloads, now that many people are moving to MegaUpload and RapidShare to beat bandwidth shaping...

Looks let they are shaping all the sites!

i even called the streamyx hotline, they resetted my port twice but i can't get near my top speeds anymore.

me -> streamyx -> anything not local = slow!
me -> streamyx -> proxy -> p2p/mega rapid/torrents = fast! omg...

looks like just have to depend on proxies from now on..

What proxy are you using? :O

aKho · 10th Aug 2008, 01:17 AM

trying out stuff like hotspot shield, proxyway, hidemyip etc..

actually thinking about subscribing for a vpn service which seems to be the best solution right now. calculate it would cost less than rm50 per month just to have my traffic encrypted and bypass tmnet's shaping.

i heard Xunlei aka Thunder, the china software can bypass torrent shaping although i haven't tried it yet. also, sites like SecureIX provides free vpn services (although i can't seem to sign up for an account atm).

currently surfing for some free alternatives.
