Suprnova.org Lives On

Suprnova has been down for some years due to some heavy pressure from the copyright lobby. The former owner sloncek donated suprnova to The Pirate Bay – and as you know, we like to kick ass and bow for noone! These first weeks/months are currently classed as a beta test. Finally, some words for non-internet loving companies (MPAA): This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet and the future.

Afraid of excessive bandwidth usage, ISPs have been throttling BitTorrent traffic for almost two years now. While most ISPs simply limit the available bandwidth for BitTorrent, Comcast has now taken it one step further, and is actively preventing its customers from seeding, if the latest user reports are to be believed. Comcast is not alone in this: Canadian ISPs Cogeco and Rogers use similar methods on a smaller scale. These more aggressive throttling methods can’t be circumvented by simply enabling encryption in a BitTorrent client, as Comcast is reportedly using an application from Sandvine to throttle BitTorrent traffic; the application apparently breaks every (seed) connection with new peers after a few seconds if it’s not a Comcast user, making it virtually impossible to seed a file, especially in small swarms without any Comcast users. Although some users report that they can still connect to a few peers, most of the Comcast customers chiming in have seen a significant drop in upload speed.

Sandvine’s throttling works like this: a few seconds after one connects to a peer in the BitTorrent swarm, Sandvine sends a peer reset message (RST flag) and the upload immediately stops. Most vulnerable are users in a relatively small swarm where one only has a few peers to which to upload. However, only seeding seems to be prevented, as most users are able to upload to others while the download is still going; once the download is finished, though, the upload speed drops to 0.

eMule Xtreme 6.1

eMule Xtreme is a modification of the original eMule Xtreme filesharing client. It is its aim to use the bandwidth more efficiently and to enlarge the range of the functions. We have paid special attention to create a stable, resource saving mod.

Some facts about the Xtreme:

- High performance ed2k client
- one of the best-used eMule mods
- the upload and download are managed efficiently
- low resource using
- easy to handle
- many additional features
- many code-optimizations
- permanent further development
- Xtreme is free

Some of the main-features are:

- Maella Bandwidth control, calculates the real Overhead
- NAFC (network adapter feedback control)
- advanced Upload bandwidth throttler with adjustable slot speed
- Xtreme Download manager for a clever source-handling
- improved Xtreme-Credit system
- Power release with dynamic Hide OS
- IP to country – show country-flags
- Dynamic Leecher Protection (DLP)
- Multi-threaded disc access with threading-queue [view all features]

* this option will detect and ban really a lot of bad mods!
- added filefaker check
- added T-DSL 16000 to the wizard
- improved NAFC adapter finding: find the right adapter even with exotic network configurations
- improved wizard to choose better download / uploadlimits
- improved: prevent busy popup during windows startup (leuk_he)
- improved: kadliscontrol: show the filename immedately
- a lot of other small improvements
- changed: skip loading of saved sources if you only allow obfuscated connections
- changed: for uploadlimit > 16 one more Low-ID client is allowed to enter the upload
- changed: do not ask exit from command prompt (leuk_he)
- fixed official kad bug under vista (leuk_he/godlaugh2007)
- fixed an official crashbug when shutting down while AICH-Syncthread is running
- fixed an official crashbug: reapplied division by zero fix at taskbarnotifier
- fixed a bug when changing ports but don’t restart emule
