i have some ideas but i am not going to post it here because there are plenty of tmnut spies in this forum.

It's deep packet inspection (DPI) not deep state inspection. Anyway, I suspect something funny is going on here because if DPI or NetEnforcer was used, how come we can connect to local peers? It should have affected all peers not just international peers alone. I think something is wrong somewhere here.

This just proves those meatbags at TMnut is doing traffic shaping to our torrents since our friend here can download normally using ssh tunnel. I am going to give those clowns a few more weeks and if the situation does not change then I will sign up one of these services to bypass shaping like our friend here. The only downside to this is that I have to pay to get back my SPEED! DAMN YOU TO HELL TMNUT!!!!!!!!!!

I feel the same way as you do. Stupid TMnut made us spend extra money on their stupid f**king so called broadband just so we can bypass their shaping. If this was a developed country, TMnut would have been sued by thousands of frustrated users already for not annoucing their traffic shaping to all users.

I assume secure tunnel is blocking all IP addresses from Malaysia, probably due to some users here abusing their service 24/7.

I agree with you sanook. That story is full of CRAP. It is almost 1 month since this sordid episode began. Don't tell me they are taking their own sweet time fixing that so called "damage" and "burned out" server???

It's not TMnut doing the blocking. If you read the message carefully, you will see that Secure Tunnel is doing the blocking. This could be due to 2 reasons:

1. Some users abuse their servers non-stop 24/7.
2. Some users use credit cards with false information.

There could be a third reason. They found out some users downloading copyrighted materials and decided to ban all IP address from Malaysia. It is stated in their contract that they do not tolerate software piracy.

That could also be another reason why Secure Tunnel decided to ban all Malaysia IP addresses from their service. Too much strain on their servers!

For the time being, I am using proxies to bypass the shaping. It seems to work well but the speed is not constant and is like a roller coaster ride. At least I am getting downloads from international peers unlike before using proxies when all international peers were blocked. This a much needed relief from all that crap shaping TMnut was doing. However I noticed that proxies only works on Utorrent but not on Azureus. Does anyone know why?

Anyway, I almost subscribed to relakks but decided to give proxies a try first and I am glad I did!

I think he is mad about the trackers. He has a lot of trackers that he can't connect to. There is a recent trend that I just noticed a couple of days ago and that is for some unknown reason, you will find it very difficult to connect to trackers. But once you bypass shaping with one of the methods discussed here, you can connect to the trackers easily. It seems like TMnut has decided to block trackers too. Correct me if I am wrong.

By the way, how did you get those ridiculously fast speeds? Are you on a T1 or T3 connection or you just hooked your modem to ASTRO satellite?!

instead of complaining here about how tmnut sucks for shaping p2p, do the following instead:

1. Call TMnut CS and demand to know why you are paying RM88 a month for dial-up speeds.

2. Go to TMpoint and yell at the idiot behind the counter and demand to know why you are not getting the speed you are paying for.

3. Complain to organizations like the CFM or the MCMC or even the Consumer Affairs Ministry about your slow speeds.

4. Write to the local newspapers and let the whole world know about TMnut's lousy service and false advertising. Doing this could give TMnut a bad name and scare away potential new customers who would otherwise be tricked into subcribing into one of their so called "unlimited" services.

5.Write to Lim Keng Yaek and complain about how TMnut is not giving you the speed and unlimited access as advertised by them.

6. If you don't want to do any of the above then subscribe to a service like Secure Tunnel or Relakks to bypass TMnut's shaping.

Good luck to all of you.

proxies don't work anymore because there are some wise guys downloading torrents 24/7 using proxies like there is no tomorrow. Hence, our Malaysian IP address have become so infamous that almost all proxy servers will ban us whenever we try to download torrents using proxies.

All the major BT client developers are already working on a way to beat the shaping TMnut is using. Sooner or later we will all get back our speed once they release their new versions of the BT clients.

this service charges are in US DOLLARS!!! Damn expensive for a local guy to set up a torrent server! If it was one of those western services, I can understand if the charges are in US dollars, but this is Malaysian company, why make us pay in US dollars?

i am not surprised by this. malaysia is famous for credit card fraud and is probably in the top 10 list of black listed countries involving credit card. so much for malaysia boleh!

Tmnut is still throttling BT. As far as I am concerned, BT is still slow and NOT back to normal. The shaping is still there.

early this morning around 2AM, my torrent suddenly got a speed boost as high as 120Kb/s max and up to now, my speed is still not throttled. Now I am able to download from international peers. I wonder if this is only temporary or TMnut decided to listen to all our complaints about slow speeds?

The throttling is back! An hour ago, all my international peers died and got replaced by local peers. Stupid TMnut, WTH are you doing??!!!! Oh well, time to switch on the VPN again.....
