Emule

[james_bond_rulez]

i guess shaw is different than telus

if I get a new ip all the flooding is gone...

[james_bond_rulez]

excellent i got it to work with my za

does this method work with shareaza too?

just wondering

[james_bond_rulez]

damn it I just checked with my isp and they are capping my bandwidth now

1 GB upload a month?! that sucks

mm yeah balam one more question

do you need to set expert rulez in zonealarm to get high ID in emule

i find if I use za I always get low ID, even if i grant emule full access rights and server rights?

any thoughts?

[balamm]

I'm not sure how that works cause with sygate on full stealth and max protection, And ISA server and BlackIce installed as well, I still get a high ID in win2k server. In XP, I get a low ID with the XP firewall, but not if I change it to sygate only.
I'm not sure what it's blocking. With the low ID I notice I hardly get any uploads but still get downloads. I just have to drop the firewall for a minute to connect to a server.
I think it's just a screwy system all round.

[james_bond_rulez]

well i dont know either

i find if i dont use za and just rely on my router, i get high id

maybe i'll check out seagate firewall

yeah emule has its disadvantages with the servers and the credit system

otherwise it'd be a great p2p.

I just looked at your plan. That sucks big!@! I was considering a change but not anymore.
That $44.95 for three months is only $25 a month for 6 months through the "buy a modem" plan at futureshop. The terms of service still suck too much though.

Three email accounts? I get 7 plus 70mb webspace, 6 gig down, 2 up per month, loosely monitored. Oh and up to 4mb total bandwidth.

[james_bond_rulez]

maybe you could enlighten me with shaw's packages

i got a phone call from a telemarketer telling me to switch to shaw.

shaw's got the screwy "light" plan, i dunno what the hell that was

[balamm]

I think it's equivalent to adsl. About 512k instead of the advertised 2mb line on regular broadband. $20 - $25 a month for lightspeed. You should be able to get 6 months at about $25 with high speed. No need to buy the modem.

I'd say it's the same, yeah. I am paying something like 43 dollars a month including tax. I dont really care about the personal webspace or the emails, cuz i dont use them. shaw is a little better att he download speed...4 Mb. other than that i'd say it's the same with my telus adsl.

I never download above the 1Mb speed. not sure why but just rarely download at that speed.

so i am ok with it. if I switch now i'd have to buy the cable modem again. it's another investment

I think you have to buy the modem or you have to pay a monthly fee to rent the modem.
