489914 2006-10-07 12:28:00 Hi there, could anyone recommend a software that will help me keep track of my data usage? Thank you in advance! :)

oh btw, just got off phone with ihug. it's true that my account was shaped and the guy even agreed with me that it can be worse than dialup! :yuck: At least this guy was the most helpful and honest and not rude of the ihug operators i have spoken to!

489917 2006-10-07 20:15:00 What do you mean by "shaped"?Port shaped. It is a way of controlling the speed of data via certain ports. The ports they do this to are normally the ports used by Torrent programs and other P2P programs. If you go over your datacap you will also have your data traffic slowed down, but I am not sure if they use the port shaping method for this as they would need to cover a range of ports. Jen (38)
