On top of the above issue, when the steam-limiter window is brought up,
sometimes it disappears. I noticed it mainly happens when I move the mouse. I
assumed it was Windows 8 being weird.

Hmm.. I've just noticed the limitation "Steam holds connections Open" - I'll
test to make sure I wasn't being a dumb the other day.

I was a dumb. Sorry.

While I don't have evidence for this, I did also get metered while using this
filter on Windows 8 64-bit with Internode. However, quite often many games will
throw up a "scanning for game updates" error and will stay stuck on there. The
only way to get around it is to kill the filter and play the game. Obviously
the filter is having some effect, but it's not doing the main job it needs to
do. Perhaps Internodes filter needs updating since being taken over by iinet?

Further investigation results in many pulls from http://ix.asn.au/ ip's
(especially 103.2.117.6 and 103.2.117.70) which are NOT unmetered!

After reading up on the filter a bit, I realized that the filter needs
updating. Sadly, steam seems to pull from many ip addresses it shouldn't. I
tried making a custom filter but any apparent attempt to block isx.asn.au
completely kills almost all steam connections. It's possible I haven't got the
filter setup right however.
Regardless, the filter still does work, so ignore my previous comments. The
problem is that the internode filter needs updating.
