The problem is the file source might still need to come from outside of Streamyx' network. Fansubbed anime is a good example, since the majority of the seeders/distributors for fansub groups tend to be based outside of Malaysia; you still need to get that file through other means or at least wait for it to trickle through before the file can be seeded here.

In other news, one of the companies that first used DPI seems to have given up on it, at least for one of their premium packages. If TMNet is going to drop this throttling, you can be sure that it will not be a complete drop.

In the meantime, why don't everyone use a client with a distributed peer system thingy like Azureus or something? With a large enough Malaysian userbase, we could have distribution without a tracker.

DPI and other advancd traffic shaping hardware principles are likely going to spread, so (optimistically) it's only a matter of time before the major BT clients implement some kind of workaround.
