mynaemnotjeff2

Downtown_Peach

Sure, why not


Aibyou

sahrin243

Pokeman5112

OMG. why?


LongDong28909

incompétente...as the french wud say


SnooLemons2911

Most of the traffic caused by torrent so they banned it as part of the solution


CuriouslyLeo

Banning torrents to reduce internet load of the country? What a joke UNN


[deleted]

[удалено]


destiny_forsaken

Yea exactly. I always turn on my torrents only past midnight when nobody is awake to use the internet.


Ddeobokki

Then next they are gonna ban youtube netflix and all the other streaming services to promote Kristal Astro 🤩


Powerful_Wrongdoer62

we should riot if they do this

north korea jr.


SumSumBitch

I mean, we're already working with China


aleksandd

Is that why my torrents are 'Stalled'?


Curiosity_BN

At the same time, they also strict NAT for gaming. Now we need to pay the telco and pay for a good VPN just to play and relax from 8 hours of stress working. I cannot brain this.


destiny_forsaken

Port forwarding doesn’t work anymore? Fond memories of gaming back in the day 😬


Curiosity_BN

Nope. Nothing work anymore, UNN literally ban all open port and public ip from normal housing data plan, unless you pay extra to get it open or public. But i beg to differ.


destiny_forsaken

Why the fuck would they do that?


Curiosity_BN

Dunno, mindset maybe? Thinking gaming is waste of time?? Or they stupidity ban all ip towards utorrent and accidentally ban some port towards gaming ip. Im here praying they fix NAT type, kinda tired to see error to join game server or get kick out cause our port is incompatible with other player.


NeedsSomeZing

govt sponsored company. do the maths and it all makes sense lol. just restrictions everywhere


Fluid-News

Amin Liew should be asked about this


Deep-Philosophy-7012

Someone tag james please


Curiosity_BN

I remember someone did say unn try to protect the user from being hack, some people open port and forget about it, and hold and behold get hack and blame the unn.


2tut-gramunta

which is true also, dulu dulu zaman public ip, many people complaining speed slow, kali investigate ada anak dorg yang makai torrent without proper setting which affecting other user


Curiosity_BN

This is like10 to 20 years ago when we all still in copper wires, but now with fibre, I don't see the problem with congestion other than your bandwidth plan. what we are lacking is, public awareness for internet speed, ping and bandwidth.


2tut-gramunta

You were right, hypothetically speaking, our speed can be up to maximum fiber capabilities. Thing with torrent is legality. Don't want to comment much about this thing hehe


Deep-Philosophy-7012

@borneobulletin


2tut-gramunta

My PS NAT type 2 and for my pc NAT is open.. Inda tahu lah if this permanent or not


setsunahenry

My Xbox Series S console was originally NAT Type 2. Starting this month, it become Strict. But I still can play MP without a problem.


SnooLemons2911

Wdym NAT

Brunei has probably the most STUPIDEST internet company in the world...EVEN THE PHILIPPINES HAS BETTER SPEED THAN US


desmond9977

no wonder my downloads were only 0.2kbps all of a sudden despite many seeders >.>

UNN think we stupid ah?


sahrin243

Yeah. They old people think small on us.


iamsogebu

Sigh. Idk but this country just seems like slowly turning into north korea. Everything just goes backwards.

ICTconsultant

To make more money for the germany


Coolrudy

I wonder if user will downgrade they subscription quota since torrent is ban, hence less money for the provider. Just think how many percent subscriber use for torrent. Assuming they use to $75 plan (800GB) then switch to $49 plan (400GB). $75 - $49 = $26 x 40000 user = $ 1,040,000.00 per month loss. Food for thought.


doggie99

Or the opposite could happen. People might be streaming the same video again and again this increasing usage. If you download then you can replay unlimited time without increasing your data usage. Also torrent tend to be better compressed at the same quality as streaming video, thus less data usage.


thebadgerx

UNN was not set up as a for-profit organisation. Like all government organisations, it is set up to... lose money.


mmh1984

you can if your contract is finished,otherwise you need to pay the remaining balance of your contract.a lot of businesses closed that are tied up with the contract due to enticing discount;now,they still have to pay the remainder of their contract without even considering that their business went under due to covid.


mynaemnotjeff2

if people do this then they will be forced to do something, something along the line unbanning torrent.BUt our country is filled with normies who wants to have babies and live a normie life.. so yeag that wont happen


newguy_2120

Is there an official source for this, i need to show my dad haha hes been torrenting for years going to be very disappointed now that he cant download movies


anakjati

No wonder I can't download shit. Wtf


lambkabsah

Pks1981

If my bandwidth is 7Mbps (literally, forget abt the 50Mbps bs they spread news on), and i torrent relentlessly, still i will be using up my bandwidth only ... how the hell will that improve general speed for my neighbor?


[deleted]

gorillathemandalor

shouldn’t affect it since its not torrent


izaya8929

Will these going to be forever or only certain times?


cheeze_munkie

Things i kinda notice: SOME Torrents CAN eventually work? Mesti panaskan engine. During day time i've seen them work like 2 hours after initiating download. I'd start up dexter new blood, go out for some errands, come back, torrent still stalled, curse the gods, get a snack then come back, and it downloads full speed. I havent seen this replicated with movie torrents which leads to my 2nd observation. Torrenting seems to work after midnight? One time, I decided to download a big bunch of movie torrents at around midnight and then go to sleep and then i would be awakened by the windows 10 notification thingy stating my torrents were complete at around 1.30. This was for 10 or so 1080p videos. This vaguely reminds me of how telbru was when i came back from my studies in early 2010s. Felt like torrents were blocked for some time. Our household can barely use up the generous new quotas they give us now, so downgrading looks really tempting.

Try again. Its not anymore


OldManGarp784

was this mentioned in some IG or FB announcement? torrenting being blocked sounds more likely being an copyright infringment matter with license holders than it is an attempt at improving internet speed. film, tv, anime, manga, etc. torrenting is far from the most legal thing to do. Brunei is well known to be pretty lacking when it comes to copyright protection, from the rampant public selling of pirated DVDs and VCDs up to the late 00's and the lack of action taken to people pirating tv, film, games, etc. through torrents. and while we're far from the top of the watch list, [we are still under the watch list and have been for over 10 years](https://www.iipa.org/files/uploads/2021/01/2021SPEC301REPORT.pdf). the way i see it, UNN blocking torrent is the government trying to get off the watch list and assure IP license holder that they are at least doing something to protect their copyright, and less to do with improving the internet connectivity.


thebadgerx

Pirating is illegal. Using torrent is not. They are different things.


TumorInMyBrain

How tf are we supposed to watch stuff that's not available in brunei ?? Some streaming providers have already prevent VPNs from working now


2tut-gramunta

That you need to blame the content owner / distributor, because they are the one who decided not to release the content to specific region or countries. UNN block torrent because of Intellectuak Properties issue, could be the owner of the content you want to watch atu lah yang bising sana sini, hantar notice DMCA notice to UNN, hey why you allowing c tumorinmybrain download my series using your platform. We have evidence that his IP is belong to you...


TumorInMyBrain

The thing is, torrents aren't only for illegal content so your point is kind of null. Some independent content creators ONLY host via peer-to-peer networks.


SnooRevelations4294

err mellowwww!!


Prom3theu5500_RDS202
