Bug 1: your password cannot be more than 8 characters long. if you choose your password as "broadbandforum" it will only take the first 8 characters, i.e. "broadban" only and ignore the rest of the string! (Not useful rite now, but mayb some day...:evil
Bug 2: For NU users only!
Remember how mtnl warns us to switch off (reboot) our routers at 00:00 and 08:00 hours for using NU.
But if you don't use it extensively, and get sleepy by 11-11:30PM or, wake up after 8 AM and want to surf net, then you can try a nice little trick!
Though there mayb some risks involved.
Just think of this as, MTNL calculates average of usage if you don't switch off ur router (at 12 or 8 in morning). so, why not try to utilize this wen we can. Here's what I do:
switch on my router at 10:30 PM, surf the net/download files (in a limit) and go to sleep by 11:45 PM. BUT, i keep my router ON (wid power backup). The session lasts for 6 hours. so, 10:30 PM plus 6 hours is 4:30AM. I download say 150MB from 10:30 to 11:45, then 150/6= 25MB per hour. so, for AVERAGE, mtnl counts 25 x 4.5 = 112.5 MB as night MB and rest is daily usage. This way i save on my time (to be awake till 12 and then surf) and also, some day MB's (which are hard to save).
Same goes for morning, get someone to switch on your router at 5 AM, and then get up at 8 AM and surf net!
I have tried it for two days now, and saved around 200 MB.
Please be cautious while using this and do post your experience here! whether it worked for you or not!
BUG 3: For limited MB and NU users (NOTE: HAVEN'T TRIED IT, BUT GOOD THEORY WITH PROOF)
Here is a screen shot of my session history:
http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/4585/b1by0.jpg
Note that the MB's are counted in NEGATIVE for the 6 hour session. (NU Users please confirm if you all guys also get the MB's in negative). This I get, when i am downloading extensively using Bearshare (p2p software ver. 5.3.0)
So, my idea/theory is for limited MB user(s) who want to give it a try (who get reimbursement from office of course!) to try a 6 hour session on their limited MB's and try downloading stuff. And then check your usage to see if you have got negative MB recorded as in the above case. And whether it effected you MB left for the month!
Of course, RISKS INVOLVED ARE VERY HIGH, and I doubt anyone will try it ever, but this can work (in theory right now!).
Here is a link to another of my session history, which shows 3 such 6 hours sessions when i got negative MB's recorded, but becoz I am on NU, it didn't effect my daily usage!
