By using alternate clients can we bypass the 150 mb downlload limit.

If yes which version of  super sify or easy sify does

cancer10 how can I use Sifyguard ?since the latest Supersify no longer has the files I can link to...the login and logout ones. Cheers all!

supersify comes with Sify guard now, try the Login wizard, it will help you to login to sify

Ok I see what you mean. Thanks a ton for the info and the add on. I don't see where the clients would stand without Sifyguard....since it allows one to be in ctrl of the time, dowload limit and logout process.(You can obviously tell I am not an expert at all this ....heh heh)Cheers all!

No Problem

@power,The linux and mac clients still use the old protocol (which is used in alternative clients), so I really dont think there is a way to distinguish between official and unofficial.And isn't MAC binding independent of the client? All clients send the MAC address to the server, where it is verified.

I know all about the new versus old protocol. Currently that is the ONLY way to identify, but I don't think they can sue - all you have to do is say that you are using the linux client - WHICH THEY HAVE NOT UPDATED, THE STINKING BAS*****

EDIT: See Ujjwal has already mentioned that.
As regards MAC address, well some of the clients simply allow you to enter a value, but the older ones (ES1) do not - and they still work (or did work). Apparently Sify's servers only considered the MAC address binding if they received some value for MAC

There is a new linux dialer for sify....
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antidialer/

try it out if u are a linux user

Hmmm... So it seems... the guy was telling nonsense to me.

They dont have any right to fool the consumer with their deliberate program. So I guess it is alright to use alternate clients!

Hi,

Does anyone know what license the clients are distributed in? If the protocol/dialers have any licenses accompanying them then what we are doing (reverse engg, even using the proprietary protocol) could actually turn out to be illegal.

Are there any lawyers/licensing experts here who can put some light on this issue?
