Re: [twsocket] Throttling for THttpConnection

2006-01-15 Thread Francois PIETTE
 Have you seen the code for bandwidth limitation ? It exists since a few
 months and works with a compile time option.
 
 Great notice! :o
 
 but where is it?

In HttpProt.pas, search for UseBandwidthControl.

 Hello,

 When I run 32 THttpConnection's in a single worker thread, I cannot use
 the
 throttling with the Sleep() command like in one-thread/connection design
 as
 the sleep call blocks the other connections as well since they are in the
 same thread context. I know that there is a limitation for number of
 timers
 per process so here is what I tried:

 - created one timer per thread
 - paused connections in Sleep place
 - resumed them after the calculated ms in timer

 BUT

 - since the timer runs every 20-50 ms (both does the same result), the
 sleep
 period cannot be less than that! I get inconsistent speed results (for
 example, for a 100kBps, I get a fluctuating value between 89-102kBps).
 Does
 anybody know a good solution for this problem?

 Best Regards,

 SZ

Yes I use it, I programmed it :) I use it in XanTorrent, a Bittorrent client 
I havent worked on for a long time :-/
You can throttle to as many limits as you like, but each limit uses a new 
TTimer.
You create as many TThrottlers as you like and set their limits, then you 
can assign the throttler to multiple sockets and they will share that limit.

Re: [twsocket] TFtpClient - Quit never returns when not connected!

2006-01-15 Thread Francois PIETTE
 Hallo, I've a problem using TftpClient.

Is it related to the subject ? I guess no ! You should have opened a new 
thread with a proper subject.

 I can't obtain a connection, if on a Lan there is a squid proxy server.
 Why??

I can't tell you anything if you don't give more informations about the 
failed connection.
Please repost a message (do not reply to this one, create a new message) 
with subject FTP client, no connection with squid proxy and explain the 
more exactly possible what you do and what error you have. It is also useful 
to do your testing using FtpTst demo program so that we are sure it is not 
your own code which has a problem.

Hello!

 Sure their privacy policy of the day say they won't spam, but it also
 says We reserve the right to change our privacy policy at any time

 If they change their policy, this would apply only to the data they 
 collected after their change.

Well... Microsoft also writes everywhere that Windows is so fast, reliable,
secure and so on, but unfortunately life shows that this isn't true. Same
here. They may say they won't spam, but some day you could start receiving
unwanted messages - just because you've signed up to some funny project.
Some time ago I've been playing with counters (those thingys you put on
website to count visitors), and found one that requires you to enter your
email (to receive HTML code), and *password* - what for, if there were no
login option? So I entered stupid abc - and that was great idea, because
counter's server admin was lame kid and believed that he could login into
provided account using provided password (using same password more than
once isn't a good idea anyway, but many don't care!). Since admin of server
where I've had that mail account was my friend, he called me and asked
why I've tried to login with some weird password *few times* - yes, that
lamebrain used abc as password to my mailbox...

 Anyway, the mailing list is indexed by google, so your email is already 
 referenced by google. [..] You are well known on the internet. I'm sure
 you already receive a lot of spam as I do (hundreds of messages each
 single day).
 
That doesn't mean he want to receive more spam. I don't get much spam
messages (1-2 per *month* on this account, 1-2 per day on other account that
was heavily used on usenet few years ago (!)), and I'd like to keep it on
that level. Thanks to antispam system on poczta.interia.pl (and small
obfuscation of email address in usenet postings), most of the known spam
doesn't even come through their SMTP - unfortunately, some wanted
messages (mostly those from Yahoo!Groups) also don't, but that's not
a big issue for me anyway.

In other words - don't force anyone to be happy. Things that may be funny
for you may not be funny for others (if I'd like to play with Frappr, I'd
use other mail account). Dropping D3 support is enough for me.

Francois PIETTE wrote:

If they change their policy, this would apply only to the data they 
collected after their change.
  

In a perfect world, that's how it would work. The way they usually do it 
is to hide somewhere on their site an note saying that the new terms 
apply to all users but you can opt out of the data sharing. Some even 
require you to send a snail mail letter to their 'office' in Aruba or 
Beijing ...
They also generally sell their lists to resellers immediately after they 
announce the policy change (when not before!) so that as few as possible 
will have a chance to 'opt out' before the sale is completed.

In this particular case:
http://www.frappr.com/?a=docsection=privacy
The relevant part is : If we are going to use users' personally 
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the 
time of collection, we will notify users by placing a notice on our site

Another case of 'If' that means 'When' ...

Anyway, the mailing list is indexed by google, so your email is already 
referenced by google. Search for a part of a message you wrote, for example 
but this part of DNS is still some kind (use double quotes in google 
search to do an exact search) and you get it 
(http://www.google.fr/search?num=100hl=frrls=GGLC%2CGGLC%3A1970-01%2CGGLC%3Afrq=%22but+this+part+of+DNS+is+still+some+kind%22).
 
You can aslo search for your email, either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or erv at 
sympatico.ca and you find some references. You are well known on the 
internet. I'm sure you already receive a lot of spam as I do (hundreds of 
messages each single day).

  

First of all, if you get that much spam, do yourself a favor and add 
some spam filtering to your mail account. Getting your daily email will 
be a much better experience.

There are different levels of spam. Pill / porn / mortgage / stock scams 
peddlers are the ones using spiders running on hijacked machines to 
gather emails the way you describe and honestly, They don't bother me 
much since their crap is easy to filter and will be deleted before ever 
reaching my machine. Their main effect is to make the mail server drive 
run slightly hotter and somewhat delay delivery for legitimate mails.

Those that create more of a problem are the semi legitimate ones who 
navigate the gray area between spammy spam and legitimate lists.
To operate legally or at least in a less contentious way, these lists 
don't use spider gathered  mails and require each mail address they get 
from their 'partners' for supposedly 'opt in' inclusion in their lists 
to have a verifiable (not forged) dated IP.

By inviting us, you implicitly gave them the dated IP, and the clear 
intent of your action was to have them send an email to the addresses 
you entered. It's more than enough for the 'opt-in' list resellers. I 
highly suspect Frappr is / will soon be one of those 'partners', since 
that's a major source of revenue for such sites (they claim to have more 
than a million users. If true, we're talking about a sizable amount of 
money here).

If in 2 or 3 months, I start getting various 'newsletters', I won't be 
able to do anything about it, since they'll have a verifiable, non 
forged IP / date for my 'registration'. That's the main purpose behind 
these 'email this page to / invite a friend' links. They like them a 
lot, since complaining about it (as I'm doing now) seems quite rude and 
most people will not do it.

Typically, lists users (such as Mypoints, Commission Junction ...) are 
'legitimate businesses' whose messages are sent to a mix of recipients 
where some really requested them but most were bought from 'partners' 
who used a handful of tricks to get their 'consent'.

Since the messages tend to be spammy but can arguably result in lots of 
false positives, their domains end up being whitelisted, thus rendering 
filtering impractical. They might send only 5% of all spam, but they 
often end up being 50% of spam that arrives in a properly filtered mail 
box, and that's why they are an annoyance.

The 'opt in' you made with our email will not double my spam intake ;-) 
yet, people like me who keep their addresses for a long period of time 
(I got this one in 96), have to be careful and adequately protect them 
so that they remains usable, including to receive valuable informations 
from lists such as this one.

Regards,

Eric.

Re: [twsocket] Off Topic ICS and MidWare Frappr group

2006-01-15 Thread Ronny
ICS is 'PostCardWare' in part because the author enjoys seeing where his 
users are.  Frappr is the coolest thing since post cards.  Therefore, we 
were emailed for something important, and well worthwhile.  Also, I would 
suggest increasing the price of ICS to a postcard AND a Frappr pin.

Since we are off-topic, if V7 does not support D7, then I will have to spend 
hundreds of dollars upgrading Delphi.  I will not have problems doing that. 
This shows that ICS is worth quite a bit to me, and I think that it would be 
a good idea if there was a PayPal site for ICS contributions.  (Amazon 
Europe Gift Cards are too complicated for me...)  Yes, I did contribute to 
keep this list going. ( http://www.elists.org/donate/ )

(So I don't start a flame war, I understand the masses that hate to be 
emailed or have their email address compromised.  Changing your email 
address because you cannot access it anymore due to the thousands of daily 
junk emails is not a pleasant experience.  However, in my opinion, this was 
a low-risk mass emailing and well worthwhile.)

Re: [twsocket] Off Topic ICS and MidWare Frappr group

2006-01-15 Thread Birger Sørensen

Hi,

IMHO, safe opt-in lists - if such a thing exists - should ask the holder 
of the address for confirmation, when opting in or changing email address.

This Frappr thing obviously did not, and therefore, can not be 
considered safe - no matter the good intention.
Unless the invitation is considered a confirmation request, and actual 
opt-in is done, when you add yourself.. Should say so, in that case..

 You totally miss the point.
 
 Regardless of the cause, it is not right.
 
 The next worthwhile cause I find I am going to subscribe you to the mailing
 list.

 ICS is 'PostCardWare' in part because the author enjoys seeing where his
 users are.  Frappr is the coolest thing since post cards.  Therefore, we
 were emailed for something important, and well worthwhile.  Also, I would
 suggest increasing the price of ICS to a postcard AND a Frappr pin.
 
 Since we are off-topic, if V7 does not support D7, then I will have to spend
 hundreds of dollars upgrading Delphi.  I will not have problems doing that. 
 This shows that ICS is worth quite a bit to me, and I think that it would be
 a good idea if there was a PayPal site for ICS contributions.  (Amazon
 Europe Gift Cards are too complicated for me...)  Yes, I did contribute to
 keep this list going. ( http://www.elists.org/donate/ )
 
 (So I don't start a flame war, I understand the masses that hate to be
 emailed or have their email address compromised.  Changing your email
 address because you cannot access it anymore due to the thousands of daily
 junk emails is not a pleasant experience.  However, in my opinion, this was
 a low-risk mass emailing and well worthwhile.)
