Ditto - it's a set of essential stuff for me. In addition I also whack in host and dig because nslookup is poo.

I tolerate nslookup. Though I do put nmap on some of the rigs, randomly.

Mark - UnxUtils has this lot:

The basics but it makes a real difference. Makes the doze shell not quite so useless.

It might have something to do with demenoid being down. Their servers in Canada may have been forced to shut down, so that's the biggest tracker site down.

Possibly, but Feekles changed his user agent to uTorrent and couldn't get any websites so there's more to it than Demenoid being down.

If the software supports DHT then you will continue to download, even if you can't get to the trackers.

Nope, it's not that - I'm getting the same with private trackers.

Could I be being capped? Possible I suppose but according to their website, my status against the Fair Usage Policy is green which means I'm fine. I've logged a support call to say "my p2p is being blocked, I pay for your top level of service and am not breaking any FUP, unblock this traffic immediately"

Not really a solution, but I really do recommend UKFSN. You get the usual evening slowdown, but you are guaranteed a minimum of 2mb. Normally on my lousy phone line I get 470k/sec down with 30/300gb caps per month

The term 'cap' is pretty broad so I'd say it's possible but I've not heard of a cap being put on a specific type of transfer just on the connection as a whole.

They're bloody expensive, Zirax - £79.99 for an 8Mb connection with caps?

I don't know how much you're paying now Feek, but Zen are by far the best ISP I've used. Had BT been able to maintain the copper between my place and the Exchange properly then I'd still be with them.

Zen accounts come with a /29, custom PTR records and the best customer service I've had from an ISP.

I'm currently paying £30/month to Eclipse for a service which now seems to have a limit of 50Gb/month although I've never officially been notified that it changed from unlimited.

The custom PTR is the reverse lookup on my domain isn't it? That's essential to me for my outgoing email.

I'd also need a static IP and not sure about the /29.
