		<description>from my end, its finished :D...whatever might come back ^^

Would be nice if we could come back to the issue at hand though.....

I remember i read something as host file locally...cool...bt what? 

Most things we download are either pirated or/and in case of animes, it has not been aired here so its legal to get them though when they license it here (if they ever -_-), we have to buy them.

Who would host that server, in case the downloads are legit and what will he/they (referring to a company) gain from doing that? Also,as for updating the software...okay host them locally...but i see it restricted to that....Bt thing is, the net has become crowded and i think i read somewhere/watched or was told that there is a plan to assign an ip to almost everything...which means they would be connected and accessible from almost everywhere in the world or locally.

Would this poor bandwidth or FUP not &quot;mettre batton dan la roue&quot; of this movement to come? Try imagine you have an i-mug/i-kettle at your office (dnt laugh lol,i actually read something in an electronic magazine which helped you to power on/off your kettle over a network :P), power it on...and let say for the sake of argument, FUP is that bad that you have difficulties communicating with it back...then use your imagination -_-.....

Maybe if the main service provider for &quot;heavy&quot; content like youtube would make a mirror near us,like for Africa, then (if its feasible) we could use the same concept like here....i.e. locally we get better bandwidth (Africa having say 2M and international the same old 256k).


Anyway i have one question :P.
Why would MT/Orange want to give us better bandwidth to the outside and at reasonable prices when it can get &quot;most&quot; of happy customers with MyT 256/128 and all the other down one and some 512?</description>

		<description>something that the drake guy and other more or less recent myt subscribers have brought to attention. They usually brag about how fast their connection is.

It is possible that in the first &quot;free&quot; month(s) you subscribe to myt is &quot;doped&quot;. I mean turbocharged to bait the client in believing they&#039;ve made a sweet deal.

Just out of curiosity, do any of you remember how fast their connection was when you first signed up? I sort of remembered I was thoroughly excited when torrents were peaking a 1.5mbps.

there must be something wrong with the alignment of stars and planets... tongues of fire....</description>

		<description>If it needs deleting Mr Avinash, do it :)

Dnt want to sound cocky because i am no geek or computer wiz or talented in the IT/computer field bt things said by Drake sure are ...how to say, &quot;difficile a avaler&quot;

&quot;Or youve downloaded something that is already on your LAN(or hard disk) not on the internet!!&quot;

LAN....sure, why not, hard disk O_o...would rather not use some download accelerator for that.....

&quot;And i describe my tools as hacker ones because spyware doctor detects it as a hacker tool.&quot;
A tool is a tool mate, having a software detecting it as a hacker tool doesnt automatically means its a hacking tool, could be a tweaking tool or anything, in brief, a tool..

&quot;If u were real geek u’ll know that our e-mail are different. Poor foool. &quot;

1) How would we get information on that on the first place?
&lt;b&gt;Mail (will not be published)&lt;/b&gt;..hmmm...

2) In such cases, mail doesnt prove anyone&#039;s identity FYI.

I would give you the benefit of the doubt for your claim 20 KB/s...cool for you, enjoy it to the max (as well as the 45 KB/s...would be more to a 360kbps connection...maybe you are talking files locally?...if not, same thing, enjoy it) but for us common ppl....we cant get such &quot;high&quot; rates and taking aside Mr Avinash (who dnt use pirated softwares :P...though i am sure he would agree they are not THAT cheap bt relative to the amount of time and knowledge invested,it certainly reflects the price...too bad our rates doesnt favor us :( ), we download a lot and as the main issue was on the FUP....

One thing which is quite sad is that well, as i have posted previously, MT made some really big profits and last i heard, FT was not doing good profit
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6319961.stm
&quot;Full-year profits dropped at France Telecom last year, despite a strong performance from its mobile phone business and foreign operations.&quot;

My guess is that we MT would be more like a spare wheel or something which takes out some of the &quot;stress&quot; on FT and if my maths are good, if our profit goes elsewhere, there is little room for MT to buy more bandwidth and its kinda sad to think that Mauritius who wants to be &quot;something&quot; in the IT world as the IT hub, lacks one of the essential tools....Proper network and proper speed to support the business which revolves around it. I wnt deny that call centers and others dnt benefit from high bandwidth, bt at what cost? We might have the cheap labour, bt they have the cheap bandwidth...and this means they have an edge over us (with technologies and information available nowadays, i think any dedicated person could become knowledgeable in almost any field, though he might lack the practice bt then again, if you look properly on the net, video tutorials, virtual simulation of Real life things...).

But then again, we dnt have much bargaining power, our currency doesnt have proper weight and if i recall correctly, while it can get appreciated....it could also mean loss contracts because other countries offer cheaper..for same thing....

Maybe i am seeing too far ahead, bt i guess we are entangled in it and it would require a major change or will from the government to get us better bandwidth 

(makes me wonder why hasnt anyone invested in a game server yet in here....that could mean some money if we have the full 2M locally..side note...i read somewhere that even 100M wasnt enough for those massive lan gaming...if i recall well...bbc videos ;))</description>
