    If you have noticed lately, TMNet has started blocking eMule since the Taiwan quake.

    Whether they are going to unblock eMule, I don't have any clue, but it's very likely they will continue to block. :( Since the traffic shaping of Bittorrent, it's not looking good... :evil:

    The error message is "server (IP: Port) appears to be full". There's no way of bypassing this. The only temperory solution for this is to use HTTP Tunnelling.

    You can download a free client copy here. http://www.http-tunnel.com/html/

    But note that using HTTP Tunnelling won't get you High ID, but you will get connected.

    I haven't been downloading anything faster than 28kbps, so IMHO having a 1mbps connection right now is a waste of money. :roll:

    They can block all those parts as far as i'm concerned.

    But please don't ever make me not able to go online! >.<

    My BT is going back to normal, around 70+kb/s. :D

    My BT is normal for quite awhile. Only eDonkey is affected.

    All my IMs are very bad now, getting dc every 5 minutes...sigh...

    Unfortunately, it's not an option. Broadband (and all forms of Internet connectivity) is effectively monopolised over here. :wall: :wall:

    Looks like it's not just emule... Ares, Kazaa, BT, ..... dammit! different port also useless!
    For BT, only those with a lot of peers that enable encryption is good. otherwise...... crap!!!!

    Apparently TM is blocking P2P usage with a more advance (or rather cruder) method which is to packet shape according to user-agents (identification of applcation requesting data). So far for BT the only way that works for me is to utilise user-agent mask such as Pro Active Webfilter. At least I can now connect to seeds but that's about it

    Hmm.. You can connect to seeds, but you cannot download off them? :think:

    If the seeds/peers are all overseas, I can see their IP's but not connectible. But for local seeds/peers I can connect to them easily. Am getting about 60kbps at the moment for my torrent

    Dang.. I must at least try it out. Right now, my downloads are all 1-2 kbps. :wall: :wall:

    But cant you sue them?

    There must be something you can do.. when you signed the contract you didn't agree to this..

    If we could sue, I'm sure thousands of us would have done so by now. We don't have the suing culture here, and politics always overwrite law here. :haha:

    We don't have the culture of suing here too.. but it's worth looking into it.. maybe you can find something.. blocking everything is like, denying your right to access what you want.. that must be illegal in some way..
