Effective of the 16th December 2004 Canaca.com will be upgrading the server hosting cricketmx.com. This is an urgent security upgrade. So please don't be alarmed if it gets very slow and / or the site is inaccessable. Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience caused but please be aware that it is a very important upgrade and will benefit us and many other Canaca customers in the long run.

Yes they were "upgrading" my account, stating that the BitTorrent server I was running on cricketmx.com was using too many resources. Maybe they should stop looking at cached pages..
Anyway I sent them this:

Are your staff aware of the difference between a BitTorrent tracker (which is a source of files, I do NOT RUN A TRACKER) and a phpBB Forum (http://www.phpbb.com) with a discussion section for BitTorrent. There is a huge difference between a bulletin board and a tracker. You may like to point it out to eliminate any further unnecessary accusations. If there was another reason why my site was suspended, please tell me now so I can correct it. Also, I am very disappointed that the numerous emails I sent to the emergency department last night were ignored.

And the one to the admin:

In May or June, my members did want a tracker so I trialed one over a period of hours in which the Canaca staff CHMODded it so the public could not view it. I have never gone near unCHMODding it, and I have never run another tracker since. As this is the second time my site has become inaccessable because of allegations of running a tracker I'm beginning to wonder if Canaca staff know the difference between a forum and a tracker. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue.
My domain is cricketmx.com

I am fast losing respect for canaca.
They obviously seem illiterate, and under some illusion that we are eating resources we are not .
Everything including the radio have been cleared in advance with them.
There is no tracker or indexing going on here, are they blind ?
Maybe their idea of eating resources is termed to mean just using the forum ?
What annoys me the most is Battye is paying for all of this and thats why we are not getting adverts like some forums I visit.
CANACA : Look before you act !!

Spam? Peer to Peer? Where? They're clearly "peering" in the wrong direction.
Being Canadian I suppose we must assume that they could be French speakers, which would explain their terrible English. That is no excuse for poor practice though. They have chosen the 'act now think later' policy, so prevalent in the whole of North America, presumably in an effort to avoid legal action.
It sucks, but judging by their response, it's what we're stuck with for the present.
PS. me.... who is Sam Hill?
