Oh that's just great. So for those of us whose ISPs (Virgin National in my case, but this is very common) do traffic shaping and deep packet inspection we can now look forward to a stellar 10-20kbps download speed on patches before 11 at night.
Why not delete the boot.ini while you're at it just for another twist of the knife? |

CCP will be in control of everything, including the tracker, right? So why don't you modify your tracker to scrub all the clients from the peer list, leaving only the CCP CDNs?
This means no two clients would be able to connect to each other, and consequently clients could only connect to the CCP BitTorrent seeds and the web seeds.
They want to use your bandwidth, saving them money, obviously. |

If I cant disable it completely and download from EVE servers, well this is where we are gonna part ways after all these years. Can you elaborate on why you don't want to be part of it. We can't account for this response if it's just "because".
I can kinda back him up on this: post-patch, if I am looking at bittorrent being the only option I'm not going to wait there for two days for Virgin National's throttled traffic on all available P2P ports. I speak from experience as I already unsubbed from WoW because of the ultra-slow patching speeds: it was just too much hassle. Do a search for "WoW P2p Patch" for a blizzard (heh" of dissatisfied customers.
Before anyone suggests "get a new ISP" they're otherwise great (unlimited bandwidth, fast connection) but they traffic shape heavily on P2P ports, which is fine by me as I don't use bittorrent. I have to use the backup Eve port since the default one is a targeted port for shaping and deep packet sniffing and taking 30 seconds to load a system kinda sucks. |

~Kronanius
I didn't spot that Pando was being considered. If it's that dross then definitely count me out. |
