in a British lady's voice "please insert media to continue."

Actually the lady is French.

Me neither. It upgraded and works like a charm 🙂

The only big lag i've encountered so far is that  the visual styles from 3.5 are no longer supported.

ACK!! Two evil forces joining together. Throw DELL parts into the mix and you have Satan's computer from HELL!

Perhaps this sums it up…

Several VPNs do work with torrents.  🙂 Read what they offer and the privacy statements.
As amice said, be sure that you set µTorrent to use the VPN.

Some VPNs offer dedicated IPs too, no sharing the external IP. That will get you around the 5 connections from 1 IP limit on the tracker, that is, if you ever encounter that problem -I doubt you will.

It's alive ? That's real good news !
Keep shining, MrMazda  🙂

Sweet freaking deal 🙂 Thanks

i think i'll get one in the states when they come out. i wonder how much porn i can put on it… it'' is called the playbook after all  ;D

Just an addition:

Open office (writer) offers a M$-Word alternative Office system (free) and also a pdf creation possibility. All in all Open Office is a better (and cheaper) alternative to M$ office and can also import (and export) from/into M$ office formats.

Hi family,

What I had been experiencing when I made this post just over two months ago had been lasting for a couple of weeks.  This problem continued to last a couple of weeks.

Whatever the problem with xtube, it seems to have been corrected some time ago.

I really appreciate the sorta related post at http://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=11496.0 providing more ideas about converting .flv to other more mainstream formats.

I also wanted to clarify in case some of our users were wondering the same thing.

SATA II hard drives are better and cheaper nowadays.  Make sure it's 7,200rpm or faster, as the 5,400rpm HDDs are pretty sluggish when 500gb and over in size.

With a good inkjet printer, some full face printable discs and Accoustica CD/DVD Label Maker, you would be a lot better off than with Lightscribe and the expensive discs that it needs.

External speakers and a decent monitor would also be on the cards.

You need a VPN, of course.

I can't vouch for any of the VPN services, marky. But Relakks ( hXXp://www.relakks.com/ ) is cheap at just € 45,00 for 12 months. Relakks is located in Sweden, so it will not give you access to Hulu videos (should you happen to be outside the USA). But it will do a fine job of hiding your IP address and encrypting your torrent traffic.

Another one to look at is Happy VPN ( hXXp://www.happy-vpn.com/ ). Happy VPN is unique in that it can be configured to give you access to both USA-only video sites (like Hulu) and UK-only sites (like the BBC).

Cool.

If the file is small I do it from my pc, otherwise I use my seedbox.

"Is it worth it", well we can't answer that for you, only you can answer that.  However I can give you a of help for you to decide for yourself.

1. Do you do a lot of torrents?

2. Do you need your computer for other things?

3. Do you turn off your computer a lot during the week; ie over night?

4. Do you share the computer?

If you answered YES to any of those, you might want to consider a seedbox.

It's difficult to recommend a seedbox because it varies by region.  In Europe and North America {probably others as well} you can get full severs that you control or purpose built seedboxes that are completely setup for you to do torrents.  Getting a server tends to be a better value as you get a larger size hard drive for the same cost.  On the flip side is if you don't really know computers, then a pre built seedbox is a better value as it's all done for you.

depending on what client is used. normally, DHT can't ruin anyone's ratio at all, yet it's totally useless for private trackers in general, since it only provides nothing else but list of peers. uTorrent, for instance, needs the exact torrent-file hashes so that it can take some avail from DHT. as long as every user has his own passkey which is "stamped" into his torrents, these torrents differ from other torrents, hence DHT can't "find" them.

much more dangerous {and possibly harmful} is the function of "sharing torrents" implemented in some clients. this is also useful only, if both sides use the same client. however, it may reveal your passkey.

as for this tracker, i think, i already "discovered" the "security hole" alleged by some users. in fact it's no "security hole" but the users' mistake, because of misunderstanding some tracker facilities. if you aren't sure what some of them are about, better safe than sorry and post your querry. i can't unveil the details in public, since many greedy downloaders might misuse this information for their purpose at the expense of the unaware users.
