I got 2 new BSNL DNS address, my friend sent me sms, since the 61.1.96.69 giving us nightmares.

218.248.240.208 and 218.248.240.135

Both work much better then old bsnl and Open Dns. Something terribly wrong with open dns also.

hv fun

Or maybe just routing problem. Earlier in the day QwertyM was having problems which he suspected as DNS but using IP caused lots of dropped packets too.

well,we use dns in /etc/resolv.conf in Linux and BSDs.in winblows,I think you got some tcp/ip property option in network config.there u add these IP's.

Ah I see... so why do you do it? I mean, why do you use all this DNS stuff with Linsux?

Yeah man. DNS is such a great invention by Microsoft, we poor linux users have to remember all IP addresses but because of our limited memories, we tend to forget the IP's so we decided to hack Windows and try using DNS on linsux even though it's not as great as on windows?
Happy now?

Have u tried DNSAdvantage ??
Code:
156.154.70.1 and 156.154.71.1

Another alternative would be Scrubit.
Code:
67.138.54.100 and 207.225.209.66

If u get tired by Scrubit's filtering, they provide non-filtered DNS services too
Code:
67.138.54.120 and 207.225.209.77

A definition by Uncyclopedia:
DNS or Dominant Neutering System (aka Dick Nuts Scrotum, or simply Dennis) is a system of the internet which masks easy to remember numbers with long, hard, confusing words or phrases

Can anyone give big list of good DNS servers , both Open DNS & the bsnl dns suck , i have to encounter too much downtime, i can only download like 1 GB on my home500 plan so can anyone give me a good DNS server list ?

DNS server has no effect on your night time downloads. Changing the DNS only increases/decreases your browsing experience ...

Is it ? me & my freinds switched to automatic yesterday from open DNS & we went on downloading 2-3 GB so i think it has to do with DNS servers , the problem is download locks up like a web page locks up when browsing , i think downtime wasn't the correct word.

When u switch to automatic DNS, the default DNS (of BSNL) comes into play. But u were saying BSNL DNS sucks ;)
