that due to hosting.
it’s a small price to pay for uncensored content imo.
technical simple explanation :
internet as you know is a network of node say (A,B.C.D.E..,H). (you are A and the hosting site is H).
it’s traffic use the fatest route for point A to H, (djikastra for algorithm example).
Apart from the obvious solution of having the hosting server (or cached content) in a node close to A, (know as geolocalisation; what youtube do), you could increase the size of the pipe, (increase the speed trough some node). This make more traffic go trough that upgraded node mean possible more cached content mean faster deliverable content. (what US do).
Since all this traffic go trough that upgraded node, that also mean you free to spy, censor (kinda) it as you wish. (what US also do)…
I suppose you meant video resolution, cause if your stream is slower you won’t really go faster… Yeah they could also do dynamic stream like youtube. Start at low resolution then auto adjust according to the delivery speed. In that case you either have multiple copie of the footage or convert it on the fly.
In anyway that still hosting / server side.
Surprisingly uk radio 4 this am…a report about the 3 rebel suicide bombs killing so many in western Aleppo, numbers of dead and injured……………………….tied in with announcement of end of humanitarian pause by the end of the day………..even a reference to the numbers of foreign fighters from tens of countries present there.

Washington is “deliberately forcing [Daesh] to flee to Syria since … the US has made every effort to make the militants destroy Bashar al-Assad and his regime,” defense analyst Victor Litovkin told RT. “This is why Carter’s remarks are a message to terrorists indicating where … Americans will let them go.”

MOSCOW, November 3. /TASS/. The solution to the Aleppo humanitarian problem is not in Russia’s hands at the moment, Moscow calls for exerting pressure on the terrorists, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Thursday.

Analysts: Humanitarian pause in Aleppo should continue, but war on terror must go on
“The work (on Aleppo) is in progress, the militaries are in contact, various options have been discussed over the last few days,” he noted. “The most important thing is that Russia and the Syrian government have been taking all possible steps to alleviate the difficulties that the residents of Aleppo are facing.”
“You can see how reasonable and responsible the Russian military unit’s command has been while fulfilling the orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief,” the deputy minister went on to say. “On November 4, a new humanitarian pause will be launched as Russian and Syrian warplanes haven’t been conducting any operations in this area for 17 days now.”
“I would like address those who continue bashing Moscow for what is going on in Syria and have been looking for new pretexts. I call on them to remove their ideological blinders, and after all acknowledge the truth that it is not in Russia’s hand to decide whether the humanitarian problem in eastern Aleppo will be solved,” he stressed. “Pressure needs to be exerted on the terrorists and extremists who are actually preventing these problems from being solved.”
Aleppo settlement hampered by West’s reluctance to exert pressure on terrorists
The efforts to solve the humanitarian situation in Syria’s Aleppo bump into the unwillingness of Russia’s partners to tighten the screws on terrorists, Russian deputy foreign minister reiterated.
“The aircraft of Russia’s Aerospace Forces have not been working in the Aleppo area for 17 days,” Ryabkov said.
“The problems linked to easing the humanitarian situation in the city bump into the reluctance of those who confront Russia to exert pressure on terrorists,” the diplomat stressed.
ZERO HOUR APPROACHES FOR ALEPPO, NEW TERRORISTS’ OFFENSIVE IN WESTERN ALEPPO HAS ENDED IN DISASTER. NORTHERN HAMA LATEST VICTORIES.

Aleppo
The latest terrorist offensive in western Aleppo ended up in another failure and with very heavy losses. After 3 VBIEDs used and hundreds of rockets fired against civilians during the entire day last Thursday, with 12 terrorists killed and 100+ wounded, the terrorists counted no gains whatsoever, while sustaining the following losses:
The attack had started from 3 axes: Al-Zahraa` District, Minyaan Village and the Al-Assad suburb toward the 3000 Apartment Complex. All 3 VBIEDs were destroyed before reaching their targets, which slowed down considerably any advance by the terrorists, as you can see by studying the impressive photo below taken at the exact moment the SAA tank hit the VBIED.
As the battle continues in the western Aleppo sector, the 1 day- long humanitarian cease fire will be implemented in the eastern side. This was reportedly the last opportunity for the terrorists to leave eastern Aleppo with their lives and light weapons. The RuAF has been kept from attacking the terrorists in Aleppo for over 2 weeks in an effort to build confidence so the terrorists could leave with their lives. This concession ends late Friday November the 4th.
As this weekend approaches and the end of the “humanitarian cease fire” comes, many new actions in and around Aleppo are expected, such as:
1) RuAF will be back in full force bombing the terrorists locations in and around Aleppo city and rear positions.
2) On Friday the Admiral Kuznetsov battle group arrives on the Tartous/Lattakia coast, with it 30+ fighters and 18-20 attack helicopters. Besides the additional airpower, there will be many ballistic missiles and cruise missiles that will most likely be tested in the next few weeks. Watch for the new 20-mile range anti-tank rocket to be deployed as Ziad reported last week.
3) Rumors continue making the rounds on the possible campaign toward Al-Baab and Dayr Haafir in order to cut ISIS access to Turkey and block the Turkish-backed terrorists’ advance toward the Al-Baab-Maskana Plain.
4) Resumption of the offensive to finally clean eastern Aleppo from terrorists.
5) There are an unprecedented number of SAA and allied forces in and around Aleppo city, all built up during the past 2 months who will be unleashed as soon as all possible diplomatic solutions have failed. That is why this Friday is so crucial to Syria and Russia.
Northern Hama
After the victory in Sooraan and the partial redeployment of the Tiger Forces back to Aleppo, the remaining Tiger Force and allies resumed their advance and managed to secure 3 sites since yesterday, cutting off two possible routes from the terrorists: M5 and the old Teebat Al-Imaam-Mork Road. The 3 sites referred to in the foregoing are:
The next steps could very well be Tal Al-Mintaar and Masaasina Village, thus creating a completely unsustainable position for the remaining terrorists at Teebat Al-Imaam, flushing them out and forcing their withdrawal back to Al-Lataamina.
Much has been said about the Egyptian shift to Russia, Iraq, Syria and Libya’s LNA Government. Concrete steps were observed in the past month that attest to it:
1) Egypt supported the last Russian UNSC resolution concerning Syria.
2) Egypt refused to participate in the murderous and criminal Saudi “coalition” bombing of Yemen.
3) KSA cut oil/gas supply to Egypt which was immediately replaced by Iraq’s government. The deal was closed between Iraqi PM Haydar Al-‘Abbaadi and President Al-Sisi with Russian and Iranian intercession.
4) Russia and Egypt executed a massive joint military drill during October. An historical first.
5) There are unconfirmed rumors floating of a possible airbase for RuAF by the Egyptian Med Sea.
6) Unconfirmed rumors of Russian delivery of tons of weapons and ammo, through Egypt, to Libya’s National Army-Tobruk Government.
7) Confirmed Syria-Egypt Intel officers meeting in Cairo during October with Syrian Presidential Security Advisor Maj. Gen. ‘Ali Mamlook at the head of the Syrian delegation.
8) Egyptian soldiers have arrived in Damascus in early November for, most likely, experience-sharing in urban warfare, counter-terrorism training and for facilitating deeper Intel exchanges.

Aleppo ‘Bloodbath’: US-Backed Moderate Rebels Join Extremists in Major Offensive
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201611041047066651-aleppo-bloodbath-militant-offensive/
“The Army of Conquest, including al-Nusra Front, Ahrar ash-Sham, Ajnad al-Sham, the Sham Legion and other allied radical groups, like Fatah Halab, have launched a large-scale offensive in a bid to break the government siege of eastern Aleppo at a time when the Russian Aerospace Forces have refrained from conducting airstrikes on the embattled city.
“Our American partners mistakenly believe that terrorism could be tamed,” Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told China Radio International. “This is impossible. Terrorism is like a snake – if you turn away, it will strike.”
The Russian diplomat noted that the fact that Washington does not let Damascus and Moscow destroy al-Nusra Front points to the US “protecting” the terrorist group.
“We understand that Western and regional countries invested a lot of efforts, funds and resources into al-Nusra Front and other terrorist groups. But those are terrorists and one cannot cozy up to them,” she added.”

What’s Behind Pentagon ‘Deliberately Forcing’ Daesh to Leave Mosul for Syria
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201611041047071809-pentagon-daesh-mosul-syria/
“US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has pledged that Daesh fighters fleeing Mosul will be destroyed on their way to or in Syria, prompting experts to question whether the Pentagon was tacitly urging the militants to leave the second largest city in Iraq amid a major anti-terrorism operation, involving Baghdad-led forces and the US-led coalition.
Washington is “deliberately forcing [Daesh] to flee to Syria since … the US has made every effort to make the militants destroy Bashar al-Assad and his regime,” defense analyst Victor Litovkin told RT. “This is why Carter’s remarks are a message to terrorists indicating where … Americans will let them go.”

“There was an exchange of fire at the entrance to the base after an attempt by the trainers’ vehicle to enter the gate without heeding orders of the guards to stop,” a Jordanian military source told Reuters.”
MOSCOW, November 3. /TASS/. The solution to the Aleppo humanitarian problem is not in Russia’s hands at the moment, Moscow calls for exerting pressure on the terrorists, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Thursday.

Analysts: Humanitarian pause in Aleppo should continue, but war on terror must go on
“The work (on Aleppo) is in progress, the militaries are in contact, various options have been discussed over the last few days,” he noted. “The most important thing is that Russia and the Syrian government have been taking all possible steps to alleviate the difficulties that the residents of Aleppo are facing.”
“You can see how reasonable and responsible the Russian military unit’s command has been while fulfilling the orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief,” the deputy minister went on to say. “On November 4, a new humanitarian pause will be launched as Russian and Syrian warplanes haven’t been conducting any operations in this area for 17 days now.”
“I would like address those who continue bashing Moscow for what is going on in Syria and have been looking for new pretexts. I call on them to remove their ideological blinders, and after all acknowledge the truth that it is not in Russia’s hand to decide whether the humanitarian problem in eastern Aleppo will be solved,” he stressed. “Pressure needs to be exerted on the terrorists and extremists who are actually preventing these problems from being solved.”
Aleppo settlement hampered by West’s reluctance to exert pressure on terrorists
The efforts to solve the humanitarian situation in Syria’s Aleppo bump into the unwillingness of Russia’s partners to tighten the screws on terrorists, Russian deputy foreign minister reiterated.
“The aircraft of Russia’s Aerospace Forces have not been working in the Aleppo area for 17 days,” Ryabkov said.
“The problems linked to easing the humanitarian situation in the city bump into the reluctance of those who confront Russia to exert pressure on terrorists,” the diplomat stressed.

MOSCOW, November 4. /TASS/. The key goal of the Syrian settlement is to preserve the country’s integrity and prevent its split into terrorist enclaves, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said in the interview with China Central Television on Friday.

“Russia’s position is that there is no military solution to the Syrian issue,” Medvedev said. “The forces that want peace in Syria should sit down at the negotiating table and agree on Syria’s future, the future political system,” the premier said.
“This is not about the fate of certain leaders, although, certainly they cannot be taken out of this context, this does not concern the discussion on the personal issue linked to Bashar Assad although he is current president and legitimate president and should take part in this,” he stressed.
“It is most important that there should be peaceful settlement involving all constructive forces,” Medvedev said. “The key point is to make so that Syria’s future is predictable so that Syria is a self-sufficient and independent country and does not split into a whole number of terrorist enclaves what unfortunately happened with Libya and some other countries of the Middle East. This is our task,” he stressed.
Medvedev noted that the key obstacle for settlement today is “the issue of separating those who seek peace and have constructive positions from flagrant terrorist groups.” “A discussion on this issue is underway, and it is rather heated. We have a debate on this issue with the US and the Europeans.”
The prime minister recalled that Russia implements the agreements with the Syrian government on maintaining military balance and takes part in the military operations on fighting against terrorists so that they do not move to other countries.

ZERO HOUR APPROACHES FOR ALEPPO, NEW TERRORISTS’ OFFENSIVE IN WESTERN ALEPPO HAS ENDED IN DISASTER. NORTHERN HAMA LATEST VICTORIES.

Aleppo
The latest terrorist offensive in western Aleppo ended up in another failure and with very heavy losses. After 3 VBIEDs used and hundreds of rockets fired against civilians during the entire day last Thursday, with 12 terrorists killed and 100+ wounded, the terrorists counted no gains whatsoever, while sustaining the following losses:
2 Tanks
6 BMPs
15+ 4×4 pick ups/technicals
3 VBIEDs
1 Bulldozer

The attack had started from 3 axes: Al-Zahraa` District, Minyaan Village and the Al-Assad suburb toward the 3000 Apartment Complex. All 3 VBIEDs were destroyed before reaching their targets, which slowed down considerably any advance by the terrorists, as you can see by studying the impressive photo below taken at the exact moment the SAA tank hit the VBIED.

As the battle continues in the western Aleppo sector, the 1 day- long humanitarian cease fire will be implemented in the eastern side. This was reportedly the last opportunity for the terrorists to leave eastern Aleppo with their lives and light weapons. The RuAF has been kept from attacking the terrorists in Aleppo for over 2 weeks in an effort to build confidence so the terrorists could leave with their lives. This concession ends late Friday November the 4th.
As this weekend approaches and the end of the “humanitarian cease fire” comes, many new actions in and around Aleppo are expected, such as:
1) RuAF will be back in full force bombing the terrorists locations in and around Aleppo city and rear positions.
2) On Friday the Admiral Kuznetsov battle group arrives on the Tartous/Lattakia coast, with it 30+ fighters and 18-20 attack helicopters. Besides the additional airpower, there will be many ballistic missiles and cruise missiles that will most likely be tested in the next few weeks. Watch for the new 20-mile range anti-tank rocket to be deployed as Ziad reported last week.
3) Rumors continue making the rounds on the possible campaign toward Al-Baab and Dayr Haafir in order to cut ISIS access to Turkey and block the Turkish-backed terrorists’ advance toward the Al-Baab-Maskana Plain.
4) Resumption of the offensive to finally clean eastern Aleppo from terrorists.
5) There are an unprecedented number of SAA and allied forces in and around Aleppo city, all built up during the past 2 months who will be unleashed as soon as all possible diplomatic solutions have failed. That is why this Friday is so crucial to Syria and Russia.
Northern Hama
After the victory in Sooraan and the partial redeployment of the Tiger Forces back to Aleppo, the remaining Tiger Force and allies resumed their advance and managed to secure 3 sites since yesterday, cutting off two possible routes from the terrorists: M5 and the old Teebat Al-Imaam-Mork Road. The 3 sites referred to in the foregoing are:
Tal Maseen
Tal Baazim
Buwaydha Village – under artillery fire control

The next steps could very well be Tal Al-Mintaar and Masaasina Village, thus creating a completely unsustainable position for the remaining terrorists at Teebat Al-Imaam, flushing them out and forcing their withdrawal back to Al-Lataamina.

Syria-Egytp-Iraq Rapprochement
Much has been said about the Egyptian shift to Russia, Iraq, Syria and Libya’s LNA Government. Concrete steps were observed in the past month that attest to it:
1) Egypt supported the last Russian UNSC resolution concerning Syria.
2) Egypt refused to participate in the murderous and criminal Saudi “coalition” bombing of Yemen.
3) KSA cut oil/gas supply to Egypt which was immediately replaced by Iraq’s government. The deal was closed between Iraqi PM Haydar Al-‘Abbaadi and President Al-Sisi with Russian and Iranian intercession.
4) Russia and Egypt executed a massive joint military drill during October. An historical first.
5) There are unconfirmed rumors floating of a possible airbase for RuAF by the Egyptian Med Sea.
6) Unconfirmed rumors of Russian delivery of tons of weapons and ammo, through Egypt, to Libya’s National Army-Tobruk Government.
7) Confirmed Syria-Egypt Intel officers meeting in Cairo during October with Syrian Presidential Security Advisor Maj. Gen. ‘Ali Mamlook at the head of the Syrian delegation.
8) Egyptian soldiers have arrived in Damascus in early November for, most likely, experience-sharing in urban warfare, counter-terrorism training and for facilitating deeper Intel exchanges.
