Try to rotate the VPN server you connect to. Some days Hong Kong will get 6+ mbps, other days barely 1 mbps. I've noticed Hong Kong, and western US slow down the most. Servers in Central US seem to be ok for me. They aren't as fast as usual, but at least they stay connected.
If I don't care about speed, and just want a constant connection all day then I'll connect to some small country in Europe.
Kunming has plans, but I have yet to see them followed. The original plans for the North had lots of green parks, and the goal was to reduce population density... you can see how well that turned out.
Oh, and Kunming tried parking meters many years ago. They were all stolen just like the poles intended to stop cars from driving on the sidewalks. Usually I see them slowly disappear one by one over a few weeks, and then all replaced every month or two...
Lots of popular torrent trackers are blocked, but in general the protocol itself doesn't seemed to be blocked. Enable encryption, and first connect to a proxy or vpn to connect to the trackers if you're having trouble.
Your torrent client should be able to list if you can connect to the trackers or not. Also check if DHT(I think?) is enabled.
It's not a scam. I know people who work there. The pay is relatively low so he's probably tired of people asking about it. Though obviously he shouldn't be rude about it.
And in reply to this:
the site looks likes a practical joke:
1 year language timeline:
The first words begin to be heard, including words for specific people (mama) and objects (doggie).
Uh, how many 1 year old babies do you know who can talk? In the US anyways most babies just begin to speak at around 12 months.
I do agree the website definitely needs an artist.
I've noticed using anything related to google.com or google.com.hk will slow down the internet if you're not using a vpn. Try google.ca or their other domains instead google.com and google.com.hk
My suggestion is get a cheap vpn when you want to read the news. Ones based out California seem to be the fastest for western news.
No results found.
Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.
Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.
Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.
The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.
Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
Update: Officials fired after school stampede kills six
Posted bySchools in Kunming do the same thing. It's so bad many schools make them sign a document stating they aren't being forced to attend the "extra" classes... yeah, right.
Spring City looks to embrace sweeping green agenda
Posted byAlso look at the roads that were just recently redone. In the north they aren't even a year old and the top layer is rapidly decaying. When the holes get big enough to do serious damage to small cars they just put a traffic cone in it....
Spring City looks to embrace sweeping green agenda
Posted byKunming does invest, but the results are usually no where to be seen. Just look at all the new enlarged sewer pipes literally spewing shit all over the road.
Fishing on Dianchi Lake banned once again
Posted byIf it's banned for industrial use doesn't that mean there are some pretty nasty heavy metals in the water? Why would they allow shrimp to be fished in the past? Do they want people to get cancer or something?
Villainous jade king attempts billion yuan fraud
Posted byDon't see how it could be insurance fraud. Nothing was stolen. The man just didn't pay off his debts.
