Proxy are well, very much abused, esp. from Malaysian IPs

So they tend to block off torrent like behaviors, that's why you can see alot of Target Machine is actively refusing connection error ot something like that >_<

Unless of course you're talking about paid proxy, that is a different matter.

Torrent2FTP is my only source of BT stuff nowadays... Is anyone else providing the same service they are providing, for free?

BT is dead. It is a retribution seriously, for those friggin' leechers. You see why tmnet is not capping the upload link? Because Malaysians don't bother to upload, in whatever p2p software they use.

I've followed the instruction of azureus' lan peer setup. Guess what's the result, I'm uploading at 50kb/s, and downloading at 2kb/s. The moment I saw that, I realise that the "Malaysians Help Malaysians" theory is not going to work.

lol..dont worry dude..we will all slowly evolve one day..

haiz..already try all u guys how to make the bt speed fast....but still slow like shit.....tn.net just knw call us pay..when got problem..they ignore u ..haiz....

Do you guys know where to get high speed downloads?

Why do you want it to work? Right now I hope all Malaysians continue the cycle of selfishness. If you're unhappy with slow downloads why should your neighbour be happy at your expense? Remember, the more people that are suffering the more complaints TM Net receives, and the more complaints TM Net receives, the more pressure is put on them to remedy the situation. If half the people are content to leech off fellow Malaysians' uncapped uploads and the other half stop using BT entirely TM Net will have "won" this war on P2P.

The only way for us to "win" is for as many people as possible to make as much noise as possible. Don't quietly accept this bullshit. In the end TM Net is just a company, and the only thing they understand is profits. We have to make it unprofitable for TM Net to continue throttling, and the only way to do that is b****, b****, b**** about Streamyx to any and everyone who will listen. Let's generate enough bad press to cripple their business here for years and years to come. It's PR war, baby.

You want bad PR, here you go:

We are now famous all over the world. Everyone in the whole world knows about tmnut and their lousy throttling now!!!!

finally, i got a reply from relakks. i sent them 4 or 5 emails ages ago because i wasn't able to connect to their server. looks like they were having problem with their mail server as well. they sent me a reply after 19 days. extended my subscription for another month without charge as compensation.

anyone can ping this server ?
216.98.48.7
i got all timeout to this server.

i got no prob to ping this server bro

my experience is a bit different....ive seen plenty of msian seeders, maybe its just my luck. they might not be sending to u because they r busy sending to other users alreadi or they have few torrent on (and tmnet upload damn pathetic) ......so u should really point ur anger @ tmnet instead.

foogray, forgive me to not quote your entire post. This is going to be a long one. I don't want to be a wet blanket here, but as you should've already known. TM owns TMNET, and Malaysia Government owns TM. You can see it here. If TM NET is a private/foreign company, they are already long gone by now.

What makes you think pressuring on TM NET is going to change the situation? If that's the way, it should have already worked since years ago. No, in this country, things don't work this way.

They throttled the p2p connection cause Lim Keng Yaek pressured them for better web surfing stability. Do you think that happened because enough users called 1300889515?
I afraid no. Don't rely on their CRM, many pioneers here have more experiences in this. More enquiries for them means more JOB VACANCIES for them to bring in their brothers, sisters, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws and more, just to answer your phone calls in poor english.

For them, this 20% of p2p users are totally expendible. They will not care if you continue the service or not, as they have enough agents out there to get them new preys. Do you know how much can an agent get upon successful subscription for 1MB package? It is 200+ MYR(my package was subscribed with an agent, may vary from time to time.)

Yes, you can make noise, attract international/local media attentions. Do you know what's the broadband internet penetration rate in this country? It's either 1%(Lim Keng Yaek), or 7.6%(Streamyx), or somewhere between. Imagine, 20% out of this 1/7.6% of Malaysia population. Who would listen to our voice?We are the minority of the minority, and broadband internet is NOT YET an infrastructure in this country, not even in the coming 5 years.

So, whine/complain/rant about/to TM Net, imho, is not going to make a difference on this issue. I only hope that email replied from TM Net is true, and thing will get better end of the year; or, welcome to the real world, nothing is free. Pay for proxy, vpn, ssh or ftp. Ah, or that free open proxy list.

skippro, I always have tough luck with local peers then. As of this time I'm typing, I'm downloading at 8kb/s, uploading at 45kb/s.

arvin2212, Yes dude, patience is what every Malaysian have to learn.

I forgot to mention, my modem shows that Tx Bit Rate is 512000 and Rx Bit Rate is 1536000, which means i'm on 1.5mb/512kbps connection. Is this some kind of indirect compensation from TM Net ? Anyone has similar upgrade?

Malaysian Population : 25.6 Mil (2004)
Broadband internet penetration rate : 7.6 % (1,945,600 Customers)
Broadband P2P users : 20% of the above 7.6% ( 389,120 customers)

389,120 x RM88 = RM 34,242,560 per month.

389,120 downgrade package
389,120 x RM66 = RM 25,681,920 per month, a loss of sale RM 8,560,640 per month.

20% of Customer signout = RM 34 mil per month gone.

I don't know about you, If I lost over 100mil in business a year (8.5 mil x 12 = 102 mil) I take notice. Especially if my company is still trying to grow. Bad name now mean slow business growth later. They just remove my reason for upgrading, another lose of sale for them.

Yo Guys, I'm a total noob to all this networking and stuff but i spent a full office day just trying to get past the streamyx shaping . I owe it to everyone who posted all their solutions and after vigorous testings i have finally achieved good d/l speeds from P2P progs (Payback time !).

Was frustrated using Bitcomet and d/ling from 2 - 40kBps so i did a little research (Uploads capped at 25kBps). To get good d/l rates (I usually hit 40 - 80kBps download with 35kBps upload on streamyx 1MB package) you will need the following :-

1) Switch to UTorrent it rocks and gives Bitcomet the finger straight up!
2) Change your DNS to openDNS (Streamyx DNS is problematic ain't it) http://www.opendns.com/ details on how to can be found inside. This will not only speed up ur DLs but ur whole web experience (Changes done in router n network settings in control panel)! Oh it's free
3) Enable port forwarding for your router (Use the port u set in your torrent client). Details can be found at http://www.portforward.com/ an open port will allow users to access ur files etc etc and provides better DL rates (Ports above 49150 recommended)
* For the step above to work you must disable 'Enable UPNP port mapping' under Utorrent *
4) Get a reliable and good latency proxy server at http://www.xroxy.com/ to be inputted into your torrent client. Enable 'Use proxy servers for peer-to-peer connections'. Authentication not required.
5) When dling torrents check the availability of the seeds and peers, more health = higher chance to finish DLing and better speeds!

If you are using the ZTE modem like i am at home then you will be facing a lot of probs (Still trying to use this configuration at home). Best wishes to you!!

Alternatively you can check out http://www.tech-scope.com/2006/09/09/speed...myx-connection/ for more tips

Try those steps about a month ago. They don't work. Haven't try openDNS yet. Might try it when their London site open.

Thanks for the reply, skiver. The whole point of my post was to rouse fellow Malaysians into hitting back at TM Net. Actually, the shamefully low broadband penetration is beneficial to us whiners. Whether 1% or 7.6%, the room to grow and expand is tremendous. I read somewhere that the total cell phone service provider penetration rate here in Malaysia is something like 85%. That's a huge, almost saturated amount, and yet judging by the amount of ads we see the war to capture the remaining market share is fiercer than ever.

It goes without saying that TM Net would like to capture as much of the market and lock down as many subscribers as possible. TM Net still have plenty of room to grow, and this makes them especially sensitive to poor public perception of them, especially with the constant threat of a flood of new ISPs entering the market. In this country word of mouth is still the best form of advertising, and if the word on everyone's lips is "f*** Streamyx" then TM Net will have a problem. All I'm saying is, don't stop whining.

Alienating the most vocal, most tech savvy portion of their subscribers may have made good business sense in the boardroom, but the outcome of their poor decision is up to us to decide.

Try to find one torrent with a lot of local peers and see the dl and ul yourself. You will realize Malaysian help Malaysian is a vaild statement during this difficult time.

What you and the other forum member above experienced is the torrent having majority foreign peers.

i cant see any way to bypass the throttling. As u can see they done the capping at international level, i believes every connection in the country have to go through tat capping b4 they reroute us to the rest of the world. Yes there is a lot of channel out there but they are own by our tmnet (correct me if im wrong)

And yes, most asian country dont really give a damn to the ranting of the customer. U can rant all u wan, all they will reply is tat u can stop using the broadband service if u wan. They dont really care if they lose customers from the minority of the minority. The best part about malaysian is, when a new issue arises, every1 will make a big fuss about it. But trust me, every1 will eventually forget about it after some time.... in tis case it makes no different at all. After perhaps few months from now, u guys will give up complaining to tmnet!

yea they r smart at doing that, make customers complain until they get fed up..... because usually non have shown any actions, like a demostration etc on this...just at home call n complain.....then they would just let u hear long boring music on the phone, n u get fed up :/
