todou changed overnight

Sometime within the last 24 hours the Chinese video site todou.com got a makeover.

There are now larger and more invasive full screen ads, and tons of bandwidth. Last night and some time this morning the best I could get was ~25KBPS, today the entire video loads in a matter of minutes, video download helper is pulling it in at ~125, a full 5x faster.

oddly enough I'm watching Star Trek Voyager in flash in firefox in virtualbox in blackbox in mint5.
