Anchorfree Part 2

Realized my post on the Anchorfree utility wasn't complete. This software will really help you boost your broadband performance on Streamyx.

At Anchorfree's site, download Hostpot Shield.

There will be ads coming out while you surf. To block them, if you use Firefox 2 or newer, download Firefox's add-on: Adblock Plus. If you are still using Internet Explorer (IE), I recommend you swith to Firefox immediately for faster surfing experience. Even if you don't want to use Hotspot Shield, I highly recommend you use Adblock Plus to remove ads.

After installing the add-on, go to the Adblock Plus' options. At the menu bar, click Filters > Add Filter Subscribtion. Select "EasyList + EasyElement (USA)", and click the Subscribe button. Let it download the list of filters from the target website. After completion, you will see most of the Anchorfree ads removed while surfing.

I was told that all those using Celcom Broadband share the same IP. And they don't have control over the port-forwarding used in bit torrent clients. One user told me that this Hotspot Shield by Anchorfree will somehow fix this problem, and now he can download files using BT.
