Revenge on my ISP using P2P filtering

**DJ-CHRIS** · January 15th, 2008, 01:49 AM

Funny story, and funny idea guys.

I am a customer on Bell Sympatico (Large Canadian ISP). They recently implemented hardware that limits torrents to 30KB or 60KB. When these changes were implemented, even opening a torrent would cause AIM to disconnect, webpages not to load, etc. Diagnosed that it was none of my hardware. Got told by a Bell Sympatico support manager basically to "suck it up".

I wrote a script, that constantly downloads random crap, in this case Ubuntu and CentOS ISO's mainly. I figure it will waste 13 Terabits of bandwidth a month on my plan. It works on 2000/XP/Vista, you just need to create a folder and place wget and my script in it (copy paste script), if anyone else has an evil ISP that needs punishing. Wget is available from http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/cgi-bi...=wget/wget.exe

Code:

@echo off
:_copy
if exist /download (Echo Directory is present) ELSE (mkdir download)
cd download
goto _download

:_download
wget http://www.digitalfilearchives.com/opensource/ubuntu/ubuntu-releases/dapper/ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso
wget http://www.google.ca
wget http://ftp.usf.edu/pub/centos/5.1/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.1-x86_64-bin-1of7.iso
wget http://www.yahoo.com
wget http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/dapper/ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso
wget http://www.wikipedia.org
wget http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-143.zip
cd ..
del /Q /S download
goto _copy

Effectively waste bandwidth, making my ISP loose money on me, and helping overload their ancient network.

Bobert93 · January 15th, 2008, 01:56 AM

They could terminate your service. Then what will you do?

Szat · January 15th, 2008, 02:02 AM

I don't even know how much my ISP allows me to have... How would I find out?

haha with the unlimited one what speed do you get,
could you imagine the look on there face when the filter picks up that u have used 13 TB!! on you unlimited account

**Kage** · January 15th, 2008, 02:05 AM

Is downloading what you are downloading over and over again though, legal to download?
In which case, you could end up getting in trouble in the end for downloading, and nothing to do with your ISP

Bobert93 · January 15th, 2008, 02:08 AM

i dont think there illegle , its like cpu-z and yahoo

Rudster816 · January 15th, 2008, 02:11 AM

lol its there to download, its legal, however they have the right to refuse service to anyone (banning your IP from downloading stuff)

great idea though, because there are TONS of things that use torrents even though there not illegal. total bull crap
