hey guys,

just signed up for relakks less than an hour ago, and have been connected thru their pptp server for about 30 minutes now. My speeds have not jumped drastically. But one of my torrents which has been dling at 0.1kB/s to 5kB/s for the past week (private tracker some more) has suddenly jumped to 8Kb/s to 15Kb/s.

that's proof enough for me that relakks works. I just hope they don't ban/disconnect me later...

will update more in a while

so far i've been on relakks for 1 hour and 9 minutes... no disconnects yet.. but the torrents are coming quite slowly.. check out my screenie... is this right?

(check out the swarm on the Ugly Betty torrent)

cheers,

rakuen

Off topic a bit, but dude, don't misunderstand.. the problem with piracy in Malaysia isn't with us trying to download a few American TV shows everyday. It comes from pirates profitting from piracy (your friendly neighbourhood VCD Seller, and MP3 cd seller), these guys are hurting the revenue of the MPAA and the RIAA directly.

So IMHO, throttling our bandwidth with something like the NetEnforcer is just a cheapass way for TMnet to make the best out of their current available bandwidth... instead of doing the proper thing, which would be upgrading.

Oh well, what to do.. when you live in a country where the only readily available broadband is monopolised by a government owned corporate giant.

Let's just hope that either something like wi-max or some other alternatives come soon.

Or for me, I just relakks... while I give TMnet the universal 1 finger salute.

(that's until something else goes wrong la... haha)

virtual, ugpm!

i think it's not a bad idea trying to gather some pple who wouldnt mind paying for premium speeds. you can count me in.. and keep me updated!

for now i'm still trying to get by with relakks. *trying*... ugh...
