Ch4 Od

[lilelvis2000]

Anybody tried this channel 4 OD? I installed it only to realise it is P2P. and as I'm on only a 512K connection I had to uninstall it because I noticed other people were downloading from my machine and eating up my connection.
I tried blocking it - but everytime you start OD it resets itself and removes you block. Most annoying.

Too bad really as I wanted to download a couple of recent panorama's.

anybody know anyway to prevent this reset?

Use a proper firewall with some decent rules or your router. Find out what ports it uses (outbound) and place a hefty restriction is the QoS settings.


THe things you IT bods learn from us truckers.....thus proof that we are the profession most like the number 42

Found it works well, you will need at least a 2mb link. Because cheap ISPs share your line; you will need at least twice the download speed in order for it to work. C4 runs about 800k.

No chance of a 2M line, 512K is the fastest we get around here.
