P.S.

I might do a quick scan tonight and identify anyone at risk and try to let them know.

P.P.S.
How come I can't edit my own posts in this forum?

Some generalisations follow, but that can't be helped.... The issue occurs when people have NetBIOS bound to the network connection that links them directly to the internet. In most cases, people exposed will have USB ADSL modems, as people connecting through routers will generally be safe. If you l...

Well, I suppose this is the right place for this.... Anyone using Samurize to monitor system resources, etc, may be interested in a Netspace ADSL usage meter for Samurize I've written. Here is the full desktop with the Samurize section on the right: http://www.customer.netspace.net.au/~johnd/random/...

...and I can use the damn thing, too!

A internet wholesaler isn't just data level 2 routers. Any bridge section with the right equipment can peer. From Bevan, Pipeworks: "So with a name of "IXHammer" you seem to know stuff all about peering. I find that curious - but I digress. " I guess that should be it for you Porkster. EDIT: Sorry,...

Who the hell uses Kazaa if they’re computer literate! Another Porkster unproven statement.... Well on my Comindico based dsl deal, I’m getting A1 speeds and always have. Currently downloading about 20 files and the speeds is near maxing out the dsl config and I not using port 80/8080, using the...

I'm on Comindico now and haven't looked back. . Comindico? Hahahahaha. Isn't that the backbone provider whose financial backers are desparately trying to sell their interests but can't find a buyer? (I'll answer my own question: Yes, with AGL telling the ASX that they are going to withdraw their eq...

Jesus, this has got to be the slowest discussion thread on the web...

I thought the whole "Porkster knows nothing about networks" thread had died. Looks like more fun to be had here

After all that, im not sure if i want an AO6 or wait for an 8x to come out. ITS ALL TOO HARD.. i just dont know I got an A06 a couple of weeks ago. The problem with the 8x drives is that there is little (or no) blank discs to use. It's like the 24x CD-RW speed on drives. Just try and find CD-RW tha...

PS: when you goin to start that thread john? can you lemme know when you do mate? cheers cause id be interested in hearing how you went.

Well, at 2am last night I finally cracked the problem. I'm testing this now, and if the solution works for a couple of other mpegs, I'll start a new thread here and share the technique.

Plus ta for the link S.Traaken might have a look cheers as i cant wait to rip stacks of my movies to dvd for the standalone upstairs.. hope its alot easier as ive heard it is ;D Unfortunately, it's not as simple as it may appear. It depends on the format of the movie downloaded. If it's mpeg, and n...

Yeah, that much is obvious. But why should it happen?

Well, I created torrents for all the CD's in the Adobe CS Premium release. Seeded them. All but one seemed to work. The one that didn't showed an interesting side to bittorrent....

It destroyed the file. The size shrunk from 615Meg to 1k.

Any idea why this would happen.

Bucking to become a Whirlpool moderator, are we?

And now we'll go through it again. Things change over time. And things should be reviewed every so often.

Anach wrote:This isnt a thread about alternatives to DC.

But it can evolve into one.

For me the real question is, has DC reached the limit of it's usefullness for us, as a community? I know this has been a contentious issue in the past, and I hope because of a certain person's personality, rather than a flat refusal to look at an alternative. Perhaps it is time to look at something ...

Even with the minimum limit now enforced, you do a search for anything new and it's the same old story, only the power users have it (Anach, Kahuna, Styrix, Shaggy, etc) and getting anyone else's list gives you several Gb of apps, mp3s and other boring crap. What you really mean is "several Gb of a...

Hmm, Netspace is general losing customers for its bad setup. It's becoming the worse DSL in Tasmania. Evidence please The problem in number drops is across the board like in what I said, IT problems and users leaving for unlimited deals. Evidence please Example, you will stick with a client model t...
