Using Screamyx is like having an online equivalent of kidney stones really (it's still not out yet, by the way). I don't know about the rest, but I've been consistently getting stuck download sessions on all the machines I have in my house. Like hapless others, I can only scream, shout and rant but it will all be in vain and I'll still have to pay for the subscription at the end of the month. I can never do a full CVSUP session (to update the source and port trees) or a proper port install on my FreeBSD running laptop and God forbid that I even attempt to do any WindowsUpdate. A quick ping to JARING yields an average response time of 630ms, double the response time if I were to dialup to JARING and ping to a node in the US (a server at my alma mater). If only the government doesn't have that much stake in Telekom so as to break its monopoly in the market and give them (Telekom) a run for their money. They could also cut down on their Siti Nurhaliza promos. Those horny old gits sitting at the top of Telekom's management should really try getting their spending priorities right.
