Are IDM going to keep their proxy? i.e. we all have the same external IP address..

I can't use filesonic even with a premium account because it says your IP shows suspicious behaviour.
This system is f*ed up..
I'm getting this error too for filesonic. But I am not with IDM, im with a VISP reseller :S

Try resetting your modem.
If that doesn't help , call support at 1282 and tell them to provide you with a new IP, and don't forget to mention your problem.

You have the problem because VISP uses fake IP , and i don't think you have much of a choice to do anything besides keep trying to download.
Makes sense. the current IMEWE capacity is 10Gbits/second. That is way to little for ISPs to not use caching proxies. We would need at least 50Gbit to remove that.
I'm interested in the issue as well. Can we get isp representatives to give it's an official statement on the issue? Maybe nuclearcat could give us his opinion?

One of the things that interest me as the moderator of this forum, would be to link IP addresses to users, even for a short period of time.

So that you can ban by IP address ;)?

Anyways, I'm concerned about the IP issue too. I'm always behind a proxy with IDM. AvoK95, resetting the modem will not solve the issue.

If we get real IPs, and stop being behind proxies, then we could really start using our connections. For example, my needs are hosting an HTTP file server and hosting a VPN (no need for supernodes, or high latencies).

if you really want to download the file. you can pm me the link (i might not be able to get the link tho)
I can manage to download it.. I use a proxy and download it but it sucks not being able to do it directly...

On top of that most ports are blocked am I right?
Everything's fine now like before :)

hehe.

In my old job we used to track users by IP all the time (they were in France, Québec, Europe and Morocco mainly).
Of course it helps moderation a lot, but it also allows us to localize users geographically and extract interesting data.

Where are my users from? What are users of a certain area more interested in? Are most Lebgeekers from Beirut or outside? ... Stuff like that. As far as I know, we cannot do this with current data.

Haha you're scaring me...I'll be sure to use TOR when I log into lebgeeks from now on :D

it helps when it comes to gathering data about users, but not that much when banning them because they could simply use a proxy, i once got banned from omegle, i used a proxy and whoop ...
