Topic for MJ-12 posting only!

I am too scared to start it again. I will try to build up my courage and run it at 1mbit/sec which would be a fifth of its capacity, i don't think they will mind that too much.

I am sorry to hear about your ISP being arsey about service that you pay money for

Some ISPs seems to be more sensitive (or one my say unreasonable) than others - if you do get a warning from ISP then don't hestitate to reduce crawling 5-10 times - this is likely to be enough to put you under their radar, its better 512kbits crawling than 0kbits crawling.

I hope there will be influx of people to the project and this would allow individuals to crawl less - but due to higher number of people crawling will still be high, yet ISPs won't be able to turn on individuals since on per person basis traffic won't be high.

What really cheeses me off about ISPs is that they allow BitTorrent traffic, Emule etc - they now account for like 30% of Intrenet traffic, and here its a legit application working towards rather useful goal

Not happy :shock:

Just to let you all know - we are talking about interesting idea how to reduce bandwidth usage considerably - see thread here, it seems to work but sadly there is a cost of 25 GBP per year :shock:

My ISP already filters my emule, bittorent, limewire. It is really gay and i hate it. One dummy who was using my isp got caught, he wasn't using any ip blockers which makes him a dummy. The mpaa sued cox, so now they filter everyone's p2p traffic or just traffic in general like mj12.

I don't know how ISP's filter p2p traffic nowadays, but if it's still by blocking certain port numbers, then at least with emule you're in luck because you can manually assign (almost) any port number you want.
They can't block *all* ports now, can they??

That's taking the piss really because MJ12 traffic is perfectly legit and its also web traffic :?

I can understand an ISP not happy about bittorrent, but MJ12 traffic is not only legit but also accounts for a very very small %-tage of overall traffic :?

I've tried almost every port and they block it in a different way. I can download as much as i want, but i can only upload to other cox ips or someone who is uploading to me. This ok on emule but on a bittorent site where you have to have a 1+ ratio, its not so good.

Did anyone notice that we quietly took 2nd place back :D :D :D

[BlackAdder]

Yep...earlier this week we took back 2nd.Let's see if we can hold on to it...GO TEAM !!! :D We had a 2 million point lead the last time I checked.

Hi BlackAdder

Where are you? I can´t se you crawling today. Have you any problems with your computer or connection?
I have fired up my computers again after I have run MoneyBee and uFluids under the weekend and I hope I can crawl 1.600.000 urls.

You are the only I can talk with abouth MJ-12 because other who are running this project not use to be here.

It is high time to take our 2th place back or how?

Lagu :D ;)

Since everyone else is commenting, I will too. I too have had a spat with the Provider. So I removed the program and refuse to tolerate the usage although I was doing well when the fan hit the poop per say!

If your wondering how they adjust and monitor your traffic, they use a Frame Relay system which they can adjust and alter the incoming and outgoing usage montioring down to every last bit. Limitations are also easy to apply.

With some creativeness I removed the limitations on my connection and was zooming at 40mbs download for a short time, till they noticed. So here I am not running Majestic anymore.

I still feel for the team effort and support everyone who is still in there, I recommend not removing the limiters from the circuitry of your DSL connection without authorization.
