Excuse me, but what would be this “new evidence”?
Have you any proves?

for those using libtorrent, try out the ratio multiplier patch, located at http://torfighter.nfshost.com — you can add a multiplier to your upload amount.

a-yo; I am perfectly willing to consider “new evidence”; but first I am going to have to confirm that its source is reliable.
No offense, but you are an anonymous person making a comment;
that ONE HUNDRED PERCENT absolutely does not count as a credible source, nor “confirmed”.

Damn, this “x comments per page” is hella – annoying!!!
I like the old way; I like people’s comments as much as the stories!!!!

GIVE US AN ALL-AT-ONCE back, please; its a little bit of gluttony, but its way more fun, interesting, and human!!!

Good article on the Gemini project; a majority of us are windows users though, and a minority are computer programmers (or at least, play with our computers:P), so could you update when the software gets simplified and modded to work with Windows? Might be nice if there was a way we could test it without installing on two computers, too; I don’t have two computers. I figure the developers are working on that too, but could you let us know when they get it working?

Thanks for the story TF!
(and please fix the commenting!)

OT: hey just noticed your showing 24 entries on page 1 but clicking page 2 shows 26 onwards. clicking show all shows the correct numbering.

i know its a minor thing but i’m easily confused! lol

I don’t know if this method would really prove that an ISP is intentionally blocking traffic as dropped packets are pretty normal when it comes to p2p traffic.

Using Ubuntu as the base is a nice idea. One could perform these tests with nothing but a wired internet connection, a computer and a bootable CD: no need to install anything on the hard drive.

u kno,since it has been made 25comments/page, making the 25th comments is just like emptying the coffee jug without making some more coffee.

rude !

I have read the setup, want to test it,, buts its not possible here, since I am in a student appartment.

The proof you are looking for will be released in due time. As for joining the forum I have joined and have been a member for quite some time now.

So basically, it’s not something that you can just download and use, you have to set up a whole specilized system, configure it for your ISP, etc.

This is great but why did they use such a huge and bloated distro to start with, surely something like dsl would have been much better?

Ho partecipato in piccola parte al progetto Gemini e sinceramente mi dispiace molto che ci siano alcuni di voi che disprezzano cosÃ¬ tanto il lavoro di altre persone (#9), spero di sbagliarmi o di aver capito male.

In caso di chiarimenti potete rivolgervi senza problemi su p2pforum.it

Paco420 — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:24:12 +0000

its a scam… they know a good portion of the people downloading this program to check isp throttling will be part of the p2p users and are planning on tracing everyones activity once you have it installed and your ip has been confirmed with mac address. DO NOT TRUST THESE BASTARDS. They are the reason ISP have the technology to throttle, they are just as worthless as the anti piracy groups themselfs.

wheres the server that continually acts as a G/A or a G/B?? Like i can call my tech challenged friends and say.. ok. Insert the cd. Boot the cd. What? Push teh delete key then. Go to …

sounds like the project is ALMOST there.

#2 if you look on their forum it appears that they just use a ubuntu live cd so you can use it on your pc.

Interesting project though I guess it doesn’t cover bandwidth throttling though?

I think it could be good if it could be expanded to include A/B tests utilizing differing protocols for per-protocol comparissons. I would not be surprised to see many ISPs biasing protocols according to their personal preferences (this is actually the case with many as is well known). I’m pretty sure you’d find many have traffic policies running that they don’t advertise to their subscribers and which are not immediately obvious like packet data manipulation/spoofing.

Its clear that the ISP users are saying… dont F with our traffic, its just those corporate bastards keep turning a deaf ear… gotto hit them on the head with something and make them use their good ear… then if only we could make them use a good brain our job would be done.

It’d be cool if they created a system to collect data and detect ISP, automatically matching users for test depending on what data is missing.
