Have you ever heard of an ISP turning off all of its customers' ports (except for browsers) in a whole apartment building for over one month in order to alievate bandwidth problems and to find out "who" is taking up all the bandwidth? Is that really neccessary? And does that require shutting off all ports for over one month?
I finally was able to use AIM today. It seems they finally opened that port. And ironically, I am able to finally connect via bit torrent.
HOWEVER, thanks to the fact that UT uses an outside proxy for it's catalog, I can't use the library catalog or course reserves, so I can't do homework here.
Also, I can't connect to Maple Story, an online game.
Tommorrow I'm going to call them, for the 5th time, because I fucking want to play Maple Story. And if Mike can play it on 56k, I'm pretty sure they could open up the fucking port. I don't know man, that might take up all the bandwidth for the whole building. I mean, when Mike played for 5 five hours, he had downloaded a whopping 3 mb during his play. That might be too much for Esper, excuse me, Xxpansion Networks (they have to change their name since they are fucking BANKRUPT BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING LOSERS) to handle.
