I go to Vuze to download "something"and Vuze gives me a warning message. See pic. I don't even have to say anything.

I don't use Vuze for anything except for downloading some "sun documentary". I just mentioned Vuze and showed it to prove a point that Rogers "sucks" or "limits" bandwith for people they "see" using torrents. I don't see how this is foolishness. Since you obviously don't live in Canada you clearly do not know about how terrible and over-priced they are, and while you may think that I should switch. Impractical, just look at Bell!

BT Broadband do the same in the UK. Between early afternoon until past midnight my maximum torrent download speed is 30kb/s. And yes, that's with µTorrent.

Actually rodgers throttles all bit torrent traffic. Even encrypted. It sucks, don't blame yourself, you CAN blame rodgers in this case. I'm sorry you have rodgers, seems you are stuck with getting your things through rapidshare etc..

Rogers IS overpriced. But be glad you're not on Bell. I just download from megaupload and mediafire. That's about it. Rapidshare from time to time. I never touch any p2p softwares anymore. I hate my monthly bandwidth of 60gb per month.

µTorrent
What? So a BT client that alerts the user (that there is a problem with the connection) is worse than others that don't? And why would uTorrent be better for his situation if it uses the same BitTorrent protocol?

I am assuming that the OP is downloading from the Vuze Network. His Internet provider may throttle speeds from the Vuze network (since it's really popular)

Or don't be cheap and get on Usenet like a lot of people, it isn't expensive. I got 180GB of data from Astraweb for 20 dollars and have only gone through half of it yet and I have downloaded a fair bit of stuff.

One word. Teksavvy.

Visit dslreports forums (google that for the link) or use this

The only reason for being throttled is you are not aware of how to NOT be throttled.

I'm not, and I like it that way. And I also like not having an asinine cap limit on my bandwidth.
This is the most helpful information I have had in a long time. I just checked out Teksavvy's services and their amazing. I'll definetly be switching from craptastic Rogers!

I think you all need to quit complaining. I'm in Australia. My bandwidth limit is 20 gigs a month. Y'all stfu, you hear?

That's pretty harsh! I'll scream out of anger with only 20 gigs a month!

Seeing your complaints, it seems like my connection is not as bad as I thought. 2mbps/300kbps (down/up), actual speed is 240KB/s / 32KB/s, unlimited bandwidth per month and no traffic shaping, but it is about 40USD.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
