Akamai the new malware?

Is it as bad or even worse than previous installments like awesomium, is it bad for performance, loads lots of data in the background or even a potential security risk?

shit this crap wants confirmation to bypass my firewall... I can't believe Turdbine forces us to use this crap. Won't pay another penny for this scamming endeavor they call quality MMO.

Dude do you think i'll read every fucking Spam-thread at this forum? there is no thread that has Alkami in it. You think I read 10 pages of spam-infested threads where you take yourself serious and write pages of tech-BS that's nobody interested in without getting to the point? If you were so smart you'd make a step-by-step-guide for dummies about what it does and how to disable it. But I know that's impossible.

who gives a crap? there are legions of threads in this board, 90% useless spam, but no thread titled "Akami". How would I see what's in them? You think I read 20 threads on the first page with 4 pages each?

He has a point. Why wade through pages of stuff in a poorly named thread when you can post a new thread that has a relevant keyword in the title for people who don't read every single thread on the Vault?

Jumping all over his shit for it just makes you look like a small minded prick.

Lets try being obvious :

Akamai = P2P

P2P = Pando

Its because of this logic, that there are so many irrelevant threads to begin with..

The logic that people stay on topic? Or that people name their threads correctly? Which of those two is contributing to irrelevant threads?

You shouldn't roll your eyes at people, council scum. Not everyone is oh so knowledgeable about either pando or this akamai bullshit. Not everyone has the same interests or knowledge or skill set.

The logic of "Oh.. i have a problem.. but instead of looking to see if its already covered, with a simple search of the forums, ill just throw out a new thread.. yeah.. that works.."

In case your skill set also doesnt include basic clicking of the mouse on the word "Search" and then typing in a phrase your looking for.. in this case Akamai.. ive done it for you...

http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=search2

Here.. you will clearly see, that it is being discussed within the thread named "The New Pando"

If your skill set is still not compatible with clicking,, ill even provide a link to the thread... cuz im such a nice guy http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1390600646/57#57

It took 5 minutes for the firewall permission to actually pop up, whereas every other program that wants firewall permission pops up instantly.

So I make a post on the ddo fb page about this and someone replies:

'maybe your pc needs upgraded. not trying to be harsh or anything but it took me about 5 seconds to see the pop up to allow or block. i allowed. downloaded everything in about 20 min's.'

I really want to reply

'not to be harsh or anything but go fuck yourself'

but that is mean :/

Bro - where you been?  Flav raised the flag on this weeks ago.
To bring you up to speed quickly, Akamai Netsession is a 3rd party download expediter.  It can use P2P to do this, but Cordo has stated that this is disabled, so it currently is just a way for Turbine to take the load off their servers for the expected deluge of U21 downloads.
The main issue that the non-tinfoil hat brigade have is that it leaves a process running even after DDO is closed, which is sloppy coding and poor etiquette.
Now you are up to speed, you can jump onto the 384 threads here and in the mother forums and form your own view on whether this is:
(A) the end of civilisation as we know it; or
(B) a storm in an irrelevant teacup; or
(C) something in between these two extremes.

Good luck Padawan.
