Thanks JiQi and silverhawk for the detective work. Due to your discovery, I found out that this is how TM Net is blocking/limiting iTunes as well (and basically any other program that uses different user agents in its HTTP request):

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=10059768

TM Net may have a grey area case against blocking BT, but blocking everything else as well smacks of an illegal breach of contract to me.
This is most arguable since iTunes is a legal service. I recommend you write an official letter of complaint to TMNutz explaining this matter and discovery. We'd like to see how TMNutz respond to this latest mess.. brows.gif

Besides HTTP connections, TMNutz is also screwing up HTTPS (or secure HTTP) connections also. My test program shows ocassional errors on a TCP connection! mad.gif

Already almost an hour into my HTTPS test connection, see the attached pictures. A batch of errors then back to normal again (no errors)! mad.gif

Note: Test uses random frame sizes to check for dropped packets. brows.gif

Hmmm... really? Let me try.

I can access that https website like normal...

Maybe I should rely on that picture, since this is probably not a very accurate test.
The difference is I used a program to continuously send and receive data (and not the slow interaction method). Actually there were no errors when starting... but the errors started much later. hmm.gif

YiQi, how did you confirm that TM-net blocks bittorents based on user agents? Some of Malaysian friends on p2p website are still able connect to tracker and do not experience this problem. Any explanation here?
TMNutz is blocking mine here (in my area), BUT in certain areas it isn't blocked. Its been like that since last week. That's confirmed! hmm.gif

Looks like throttling kicked in again, this time all local peers are being either jammed or throttled altogether. See pix... hmm.gif

As I suspected, the reason its difficult to connect to peers especially non-local ones..

The shaper simply look for header patterns. For example

Proxomitron will do the job as well.. smile.gif
This one does the job better than PAW which crashes often with out of memory exceptions. icon_rolleyes.gif

But my international peers are still jammed. icon_question.gif

That's odd, my PAW has never crashed once. I've had it running since i posted this topic too.
Mine crashed often, even with the latest Sun Java runtime installed. So I've switched to Proxomitron. hmm.gif
