A brilliant strategy to save their bandwidth, but I can't say it's much of a win for myself and others.

Edit: Perhaps I jumped to conclusions too quickly. It took a while, but seeds that were tallied, yet not connectable are now somewhat connectable. 60kb/s is better than nothing I guess.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17144234 Tue, 24 Oct 2006 00:49:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17132266 Tyrantt00 : As of today apparently, just about any attempt at downloading a torrent file at various tracker sites has yielded a Page Cannot Be Displayed message in IE, and either a blank window in Firefox or it actually works. I was able to download a .torrent file for the Fedora distro of Linux in IE though.

As such, is it possible that my school's network is selectively allowing .torrent downloads? If so, I must say that living in residence sucks royally. I can't even sign up for cable internet because the com media department won't let me.

Edit: I can't download anything from SourceForge either, although that in and of itself has been an issue before this one arose.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17132266 Sun, 22 Oct 2006 03:25:50 EDT
