hey, how come my customer service representative tells me i'm not throttled? here's my e-mail reply. I bet its another standard template for BT complaints. Here goes:
Date: Oct 27, 2006 9:50 PM <-- LOL, TM support staff have to work overtime, forwarding this lousy worded template, because of you guys! They're losing sleep!!! Hehehe.... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Even teh staff in TM all confusing themselves. Looks like management is not doing a good job! lol... They really think we're idiots, huh?? Blaming our peers for not giving enough speed. |

lol, if you're looking forward to reverse engineer their mechanism, good luck! I'm sure the european and american leet haxor will have a Utorrent 2.0 which bypass all this throttling BS. Just sit and wait

Good point, IntegraTypeR. I'm sure other nations like Australia and other bandwidth-deprived P2P-craving nations will follow suit to employ technology similar to TM to cap BT downloads.
So in short, yes, uTorrent 2.0 WILL include a fix! [fingers crossed] It would be nice to have TMnet edition of uTorrent and BitComet lol... |

sam, my arguments in this thread proof that 99.99% of P2P traffic (BT specifically) are illegal. There's no justification!
I even factored in IPTV and game patches that gets distributed via P2P (BT)... and the number is still 99.99% illegal. |

QUOTE(lindows @ Oct 28 2006, 11:29 PM) Hmmmm i still can connect to other countries but in a very slow pace... Hey lindows,any idea of bypassing it ??   I got a working theory on this issue: >> Rapidshare limiting model Could be that TM has placed BT traffic at the lowest possible priority. So you can still connect to them, but you'll be wasting your time as the peers are all SLOW and you'll use up a slot, affecting your overall connection (due to Max TCP limit in Windows XP) Regards, excit3 |

Usually these brief periods of "fast speeds" are temporary and short lived. Its either your friend has connected with local peers or... one of the fortunate ones who got unthrottled earlier than teh rest of Malaysia. Is he on the 2mbit plan? Those people could have been given more priority as they're paying RM 188 currently.
Erm... TM is scheduled to fully unthrottle BT in Dec / January and implement bandwidth caps at the same time. Refer to >> Rapidshare Limiting model |

QUOTE(nwk @ Oct 29 2006, 01:41 AM) actually those guys at utorrent forum said that tmnut was shaping based on p2p packet patterns or something like that. they also said they can't do anything unless they rewrite the source code of the bittorrent client to change the way p2p data is sent on the net. A big AMEN and HALLELUJAH to that! Can't wait to see the look on the CEO's face as their 4-6 month old shaping / throttling hardware becomes rubbish! LOL! they are aware of our situation. there is an ISP called Rogers in Canada and that ISP is doing the exact same kind of throttling like tmnut. when the situation in the states and canada become as bad as us over here, then they will probably rewrite their BT clients to bypass this kind of shaping. when that happens we will get our speeds back and tmnut can kiss their brand new shaping hardware goodbye!!! Hope they've bought insurance for "lack of ability to perform services as contracted" !!! hee hee.... |
