I like your descriptive phrases. You definitely make your points clearly. I just subscribed to a site lesboasslickers.com that also slows down your downloads the more you download. You mention debian libapache choke mod 0.6. How did you figure out the site was using it and can you tell me more about it?

This site isn't particularly download manager friendly anyway, but if you use a download manager, click on the attempting download. Then look in the time & info box section thats below the actual download que section.
scroll down, you can see - Server: Apache/1.3.41(unix)
straight underneath server name the mods are listed, one is - X-mod-choke: 0.6
X-mod-choke is a server name for this - http://packages.debian.org/etch/libapache-mod-choke
Notice it classes downloading clients as 'greedy'
Personally I hate any kind of download restrictions. A site would be quick to contact a member, if their payment was somehow resticted to a lesser amount of money. So why deploy sly server mods such as this.

Dear Lostfaith,
After reviewing your ticket responces with our CS rep, it appears they did in fact attempt to assist you in every way possible. When a resolution was not found they offered a refund and contacted your billing processor Local Billing to request a full refund for your trouble. I'm including the message from your billing processor Local Billing below:
we attempted the refund on our side and got an error that is generated by the issuing bank. Therefore we have contacted the customer to request bank account details and refund by issuing a wire transfer. Unfortunately the wire transfer is our only option to refund the customer in this case.
We had several conversations with this customer and will contact him again one more time and try to persuade to accept the conditions.
Best regards,
Gabriela
Localbillinglimited.com
We've have not received any further complaints regarding our downloading speeds, and it is unfortunate that you had such a negative experience with the site.

There was no attempted refund on the card, my card company has verified this.
It seems to me as if it is a scam between you and local billing - After blaming my computer/connection etc you quickly offer me a refund, two weeks later I have still not got it, so I contact you again. Eventually local billing come up with a story about the refund not working and it cannot be re-issued. Then they offer a refund via bank transfer. The site was paid by card, so how can the card not be refunded the same way?
Do you think I would trust local billing with my bank details or the ability to perform a bank transfer, when they are so incompetant that they claim to have messed up a simple card refund.
As for no other complaints about speed, please look at reviews and comments here about the pink visual pass network, which is the same network I was on. You also make the same remark to others about nobody else complaining about their speed problems.
P.S. You forgot to answer my question about why you are using server speed slowdown mods.
Yes, my negative experience was very unfortunate. Your site is like owning a nice car before you pass your driving test, It looks good but you are restricted in using it to good effect. I pray others will have a better time there than myself.
The power of the Lord is upon thee vile heathans.
