limewire.

Im with nildram, pretty expensive at £30 a month for 8Mb but they have no FUP or throttling etc. Never really had a problem with them (had a few but that was due to my ****ty exchange).

Actually...

Many Nildram customers were throttled until late October. Nildram reserve the right to reintroduce throttling at anytime. What annoyed the p2pers was that it was introduced without warning. Currently no traffic shaping is active, and this is unlikely to change. Also, email servers are prohibited through active software which blocks ports per customer after open relays are found (although... this is probably a good thing).

I don't understand Nildrams packages as there seems to be so many depending on when you joined. Atm though, I don't see a home unlimited package for over 50GB per month, despite being unlimited on offpeak. This said - that package is only £26p/m. At £13 for the regrade fee and £30 for your current service, it would only take you 4 months to start saving from a switch to that package.

This would be your FUP;

Nildram have a 50GB a month download limit in peak times (8am to midnight) and unlimited off peak.
if you dont use your full allowance on-peak it carries over (up to a max of 100gb total allowance) to the next month.

Their counting system seems to be broken however as I have carried over a full 50gb for the past 8 months, and i assure you i use my allowance well.

Port 25 is blocked on all hosts, but can be unblocked on request if required. (They test to make sure your not running an open relay before unlocking however)

How come ISP's don't like people running mailservers?

How come ISP's don't like people running mailservers?

Its only the really stringent ones that don't allow any types of server full stop. These are usually the ones which offer such services themselves for a fee and view you as taking away business heh.

The only baahd boi here tho would be Nildram, but they're just being responsible. They don't ban mail servers as such, but instead OPEN RELAYS. The crucial point here is that u can run a mail server fine, as long as you authenticate relay (mail sending) access.

This is done to prevent your machine from becoming a mass spam sender, which gets the ISP in trouble. In my ickle niave days I used IIS with an open relay. My ISP wasn't very happy that I was sending over 10,000 mails an hour and cut me off. I was totally bemused, as I had no idea. Now if I had no idea, imagine what the rest of this myspace idiocracy would be like.

Thought it was something like that ^^.

I was once looking for an open relay for naughty naughty purposes . Needless to say, i didn't find one -.-

 

[Stonehelm]

Ah yes i remember the 50 GB limit, never exceeded and i download a lot.

Myspace idiocracy, i like it ^^

I have found a way round limewire speed reductions. Use Ares. :P

They cant have throttled p2p speeds because i get over 130kb/s with ares oO, its just torrents which are slow for me =/
