Since last few days, I have noticed that I cannot download stuff from the internet using my regular download managers, though the download works fine using a browser. The download manager exits with the following error:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Now, the file exist coz I can download them using my browser… And today when I tried to download SP2 through 3 different download managers with 5 different working links… I am getting pretty sure, it is Sify at work.
The interesting thing is, another user had the same problem who replied on an old thread. If you are a Sify Broadband user, I had like to get a response from you… Also, mention the city you are accessing Sify Broadband from!

Well friend your fear seems to be true. I have renewed my broadband connection today & in the past 3 hours I have not been able to download Real media player from download.com using any of the three famous Download clients. It is a matter of concern as is already blogged with the poor customer service issues not handled in a meticulous manner. If plans to become the first Pan Indian Broadband service provider then it has to overcome such quality & service issues or it would just remain to be a potential broadband player who lost out on its steam midway because of the fact that it is ignoring its customers.
tried again with little success. i am in panchkula actually and i will try to find a client on my local network who uses sify. :) that will help me establish the problem. my personal machine has gone through quiet a bit of torture due to my love for testing softwares. ;)

Try GetRight, with me it almost doenst give the session logout, it downloaded 30MB when i took a few hours nap and when i woke up,the session expired windows was there, but the 30MB was downloaded and internet was still on and working. SoulSeek (music p2p program)was still running.
Flashget gives the window of session blabla after a few minutes already
such a strange thing
yea, it is working fine today. :)
Amazing
Sify called me… very helpfull this time, at least he sounded like it, but my experiences tell me not to b too positive
He asked my about my logout problem… i had to tell the truth that , i dont get it that much anymore but i do get it when i use a download accel.
He would look into and tahts was it
Ofcourse..it wouldnt be me if i didnt complaied about the sped but, the shared unlimited i have is just the way it is , between 2 and 5Kb/s
I couldnt stop myself to say that these speeds are from the 80's and is really pathetic. but , it is no use to say that cuz, it is the way it is.
I wish i had an alternative cuz, sify has a really bad service, what they offer is just tooo low.
The first ISP that offfers only 1kB/s more is the one i will take in the future
Too bad i already know no other ISP will come where i live (totally south of Bangalore)

Shift and give a try to exatt net broadband connection but make sure that u r cable operator is not playing some role of blocking all the ports of P2P connection if he is then VSNL or direct cable connection are the only option's left 4 u all
i would have shifted on day 1 if there was any other provider in my area.

I recently purchased SIFY BROADBAND. It sucks (as usual), and this download thig is really killin me. I can barely download using my browser (forget download accelerators). I'm seriously pissed off. I almost completely have forgotten any kind of download from the internet thru the browser. I use lots of torrent downloads and p2p's now…
