Stu,Your wrong,The jetstream ftp is free,Its supplied outside the packages one signs up for and it available to anyone without any effect on their usage metre,its completely unrelated to the free national traffic offer.

Please pay attention.

You certain about that? If that's true then it's very disappointing! :(

253998 2004-07-22 03:24:00 Its still free,my usage for the month is still showing 135mb,the 700 odd mb America's army download certainly hasn't been recorded.

Maybe people make the mistake of accessing the ftp while logged in with there usual user name.

I bet that's correct

254000 2004-07-22 05:37:00 It's still free as long as you use 'user@jetstreamgames.co.nz'. But then again, if you didn't change your log in and were only on 128 or 256k, you would not notice any speed difference. Remember to re-boot your router before connecting, if required.

I downloaded a 250 meg Battlefield Pirates file (YARRRRR!) last night and checked my usage this morning. It hasn't been added - neither had the 1.5 odd gigs of Forgotten Hope mod downloaded a month or so ago, not to mention the videos and other bits and pieces leeched ...

If you are unsure, don't enter a password, if you *are* connecting to your normal login instead of the Realm you will asked for a password, or fail to connect. If you get onto the realm you don't need a password.

254001 2004-07-22 14:21:00 Interesting,Just spent the last half hour playing Battlefeild 1942,pretty damn sweet,I'll now have to learn the game and then head back.

Could swear i saw a few familier names ingame as well.

254002 2004-07-22 14:28:00 Forgot to add that im on dial up(the worst of both worlds,Jetstream with pathetic cap at work,dial up at home) and it worked silky smooth.

Very surprising.

254003 2004-07-23 06:32:00 Hmmm... interesting.

Metla, I'm sure that's user error. They would have given the allowance back to save hassle.

I am infact on the JetSurf plan.

Tell me this, if you are not logging on as you, how are they to know who to charge it too? Your IP Changes every time, and there is no way that they charge by MAC address!

So how would they know it was you?

Maybe you guys just weren't logged in?

Well I, for one, downloaded numerous gigabytes, all with no consequence.
