A few questions for the experts:
I went through the trouble of installing E.S.5, and discovered the
following strange things:
1.
Why does ES5 need so many ports?
Facts:
ES5 needs so many ports opened up at the router and the user has no
control over changing the port numbers. Does anybody guess why the
application needs more than 2 ports?
Or do you know of any other applications using the same port numbers?
The fact that there is no flexibility built into ES5 could simply be a
poor design.
2.
Is there a decent Internet backbone connectivity in Gaza?
Facts:
I'm highly familiar with Israel, know many people there etc. It is more
than unlikely that Gaza or the Westbank have any decent connection to a
major Internet backbone which could supply the bandwidth to support such
an endeavor. Does anybody have better information than my sources?
3.
Can anybody verify the address of the company?
Facts:
Checking the Whois for earthstation5.com used to reveal some address in
Gaza.
Neither myself nor any of my friends in Israel are permitted to travel in
Gaza. Anybody with the rights to travel into Gaza, can they add any
insights to the address?
3.
Did anybody store the original information reported by netsol.com?
Facts:
The Whois has now been disabled. Strange or not?
4.
The "company info" on the www.earthstation5.com
Facts:
Reading through the hilarious story of the "employees at ES 5" made me
(not really) use Kleenex tissues.
Any opinions?
AFAIK the Middle East rather well, it is all to strange, and I am missing
the typical mistake made in either "Hebrew-English" or "Arabic-English"
5.
No real P2P sources are available
Facts:
Not even searching for very popular items revealed any significant
download sources. I used "Madonna", "Puff Daddy" etc.
Needless to say I disabled the ports on my router, cleaned the installed
files and directories to the best of my knowledge etc. And: I used it
on my non production computer in the first place.
Hope to hear many more interpretations from you.
c.u. (or not) either way
