Hi all, recently i noticed that when downloading by BT, dcc or ftp without a proxy, that the speed is way too slow for my 512k connection, usually tops at 16k max, however when downloading from a ftp through a proxy the connection goes up to 55-50k. I think Etisalat have put some sort of a "barrier" on all non-proxy connections. at first i thought there was a malfunction due to the rain (my internet connection socket had bent pins in it and i didnt know, so i didn't use the internet for several days), but i think the problem lies within etisalat itself. can't wait till etisalat's monopoly seizes. i'll be the first to disconnect from their service as soon as another isp becomes available. regards. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
