Greetings!

It has been about two weeks since my last HA visit and this because of my great ISP. They banned my Internet account and told me that they would not tolerate people downloading software illegaly - I should stop connecting to the warez site http://www.rarewares.org or they would contact the owners of the copyrighted material. laugh.gif

After spending more than 10 days telling them that they should really have a look at the site and not just at the URL, without having any success, I told them that they have 24 hours before my lawyer takes over. Anyways, the guys sent me an apology letter and also upgraded my DSL connection for free from 768 / 128 to 2000 / 192. biggrin.gif

A funny story about morons.

That's hilarious! biggrin.gif

They must really be spying on their customers to get worried over such an innocent URL.

At least some good came out of it for you.

Noted for when my ISP blocks my Internet. I could use more bandwith.

I think whoever though RareWares was an illegal site should have at least looked at the site first.

I guess some people, like those at the ISP are still monkey's and still belong in trees, still sniffing other monkey's butts.
