I'll be 26 the last day of this month...and it really doesn't mean anything to me. Don't reallly care.

dual installation

Dual Booting [fedora 10 -> Fedora 10 + Windows Xp]

 

hello, I have already installed fedora core 6, and I want to install windows xp on the same computer, how do I do it?

 

previously I was using winxp, and had partitioned my drive into two, now with fedora I cant access the other drive that has a lot of my personal data, how do I make the partition active without losing my data

 

-question by walter ochieng

Well, can you still boot up the XP? I have never used Fedora, but have a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu setup.

I can use the explorer in Ubuntu to see everything on the drive...including on the Vista partitions.

 

I am not 100% sure of your question.

Ok... I have a question that would need answering... does this kind of post belong here?

LMAO --->

Er... OP is missing the tiny eety beety fact that adjusting uTorrent settings will be RELEVANT to your system and your connection speed. And obviously, you shouldn't change preferences if you have no idea what they do.

 

What anyone should be doing is to add uTorrent as a firewall exception. You should already have this enabled anyway, because Windows Firewall will prompt you whether you want to let uTorrent's traffic through or not from the get-go.

 

It's best if you actually leave Randomize Port unticked and specify a port of your choosing, preferably a port above 10000. When you specify a port, you have the opportunity to open that port and thus let traffic go through as you please through your router (if you have one). And of course, setting up port forwarding is specific to each router, which help on setting this up can be found on PortFoward.com.

 

UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play. It makes recognition of devices on your network... well, easier, theoretically. I haven't missed it; therefore I've turned it off personally. I would think that this would improve performance through your router by a very, very slight bit... but adjust this at your own discretion.

 

NAT-PMP, basically, allows for automatic port forwarding. I would trust manual settings and, therefore, if you are forwarding a port yourself, to turn this off.

 

Setting an automatic download and upload rate is not recommended because uTorrent is probably not smart enough to know your bandwidth allowance... so I would actually keep this unchecked. What you should do is test your connection at SpeedTest.net, take the numbers IN KILOBYTES (KB) and not KILOBITS (Kb), multiply those numbers by 80% (.8), then put those numbers into your upload and download limits. This way, uTorrent won't rape your bandwidth.

 

Global connections would be the number of connections to peers that uTorrent will make. Connected per Torrent would be the number of peers that you will make connections to per torrent. Making any of these numbers astronomical will net you no more performance than setting this to a smaller, more realistic number. Depending on your bandwidth allocation through your ISP, I would set this to a more realistic number. See the chart and source that I have in this thread, which actually covers the same topic this thread does.

 

Protocol Encryption is a good thing as it encrypts your data going in and out, which means that ISPs can't analyze your P2P traffic and consequently "choke" your transfer rates. (ISPs don't like peer-to-peer.)

 

The numbers that Ash-Bash puts out are insane. You should never have 60 torrents active, and 63 active downloads when you already specified 60 active? Whoever made the article that Ash-Bash quoted didn't do their math right. Refer to the aforementioned chart, or you can safely go with something low, like 5 active torrents and 4 active downloads. This will ensure decent speeds with downloading AND uploading, since you won't be struggling to download and upload from a ton of peers. The reason why I say that is because, with the settings Ash-Bash posted, you would be connected to (60 active torrents x 200 possible peers per torrent - 12000 connections, but limited to the 500 global connections you specified earlier). Check your math... it makes more sense when you do, and it ensures that you're not telling uTorrent to do the impossible.

 

 

Everything else, I would leave alone, except for the net.max_halfopen parameter. This allows you to make as many connections as you can, but setting this to a high number does nothing if your TCP/IP settings won't allow it. LvlLord's Event 4226 TCPIP.sys patch lifts the limitations of XP and Vista as far as connections go (implemented by Microsoft as a propogation measure in the case of infection by malware) but there's only so much you can gain by applying this patch and modifying this parameter.

 

Again, I want to refer to you to my previous post in the other uTorrent thread for more information. There's a lot of false information out there... so common sense rules all. Remember that these settings are dependent to your bandwidth allowance. There are no magic numbers for uTorrent that will make rocket go boom.

Nice job. Every time I see people trying to get magical speeds from torrents, I don't know if it's better to sit down and write up a masterpiece, such as this, or just go on with my day...

 

I'm really not sure about how many bit torrent users REALLY know what is going on when they fire up their favorite P2P client...

 

I suggest that (after a tiny bit of editing) this post should be used as a 'Torrent Download Optimization Guide'...just an idea.

 

It just drives me nuts when I see people looking for un-realistic performance, with the help of some tweaks or a special crack or something...then again, for all I know, some of these people may have the hardware capabilities!

I suggest looking at FEBE which is also a Firefox extension. It backs up EVERYTHING. I just switched to Ubuntu from Windows XP and I backed up my Firefox profile using FEBE on windows, and restored it on Ubuntu and it was as if I never even switched my OS. Everything was there, my bookmarks, my history, my theme, my buttons, and all of my extensions. It's a well designed extension, you can tell a lot of work was put into it and it works excellent.

That's a new one to me! I'll give it a shot some time!

BTW, I recently installed Ubuntu on my Laptop, so now I can dual-boot Vista Home Premium () or Ubuntu...

...either way, thanks for the heads-up!

Like the difference between Chevy and Ford....they both make cars trucks and vans....well, not really anymore. Now it's Mexicans and Canadians making them!

Yeah, welcome...use these resources to the max! Stay in school...don't do drugs...all that crap.Oh, and use protection...I prefer 9mm semi-auto, but whatever floats yer boat.

I haven't been very religi0s since the time I was born, maybe earlier, I don't know...but a question came to me when I stumbled upon some rants about 'God'. Would God surf the web? If so, what for?Please, I mean nobody any offense, and I also don't need any reasons to convert...This is just a subject I'm curious to hear from people about.If you can't give a straight-forward answer, without yip-yappin' 'bout Jesus this or Buddha that...well nevermind.

I use my laptop a lot, in all kinds of places. I also use my desktop a lot...usually in the same place.

When using two or more computers to surf the web, it really helps to have your bookmarks and passwords
saved and updated every time you access your web browser.

In this quick how-to, I will lay out the steps, in plain English, for even the greenest of beginners to understand.
Automatically synchronizing your browsers saves so much time, you will notice right away!

> Before we begin, this tutorial will cover using SyncPlaces, a Firefox plugin.
What is Firefox? Firefox is a FREE web browser available HERE. I prefer it over Internet Explorer...hands down.
SyncPlaces is available HERE. Once you have Firefox running, this is available as an add-on.


You will also need to set up a remote FTP host, or a place to upload and download your settings. This is not hard to do.
To avoid getting off-topic, I recommend searching the rest of the forums for that info. *Use something secure!

If you're getting confused already, relax. Once you get said browser and said browser extension, half of the work is done!


*Note* This is my personal, preferred method...Be aware that there are other ways of doing this, with other browsers.

Okay! On to the meat of the subject!

Open Firefox.
Click Tools>Add-ons
Select SyncPlaces from list box. Click options.

>This information tells Syncplaces where to send/receive bookmarks, etc.
Now, click the tab that says Server.

Tab: Server>Connection (this is the most important setting)
Select the FTP button at the top.
Add your FTP host address (if you don't understand, bookmark now and go look up 'FTP Host')
Add FTP username
Add FTP password

Tab: Server>Synchronization
You can change the path where SyncPlaces saves data on the server.
I leave mine as default, which saves right at the home directory, but organization helps!

Now, that is basically it! On the Actions tab, click Send Bookmarks/Passwords.
It should pop up and tell you that it is sending.
At this point, if it can't connect to server, you need to go back to the Server>Connections tab and check host, user, password.

I hope this helps at least one person. This is a very useful tool, but like I said...Not the only one!

Well, to answer the original question, I don't spend much time here at all.Seems pretty lame, but I've just never been drawn to responding to other, real, people. That's aside from the fact thatby the time my kids get to bed, I'm so drained that all I really feel like doing is surfing the web...or streaming a movie. Like right now, my head is pounding so hard...I'm typing between the throbs....Anyways, my reasons for being here range from covering quality web hosting costs (e.g. MyCents) to breaking mynormally -antisocial- behavior...So far, I've only made a couple short, crappy posts, but not to worry! I fully intend on stepping it up.Basically, this is a starter for me to become more interactive with people. Sound crazy? Hope not.

I tryed affiliates once. That didn't work the way i wanted
All I will say is be wary of ANY online money making program. Most are scams designed to rip you off.

It takes more than one try.

Awesome! I'm glad to get good feedback.

Making Money Online : DepositFiles

 

Hey Guys,

 

Check out this article it explains a way to make money online with Deposit Files :

 

Article Link Here

 

Tell me what you guys think?

Just took a quick peek...Looks like they are using the 'upload files' technique to bring traffic, more or less sharing AD revenue with users who bring traffic...like getting paid for posting popular topics...hmm, like MyCents? Unless they are binding uploads with their own PPI's?

 

I might check into it more, but in a hurry now.

Anyone PM me if they actually see serious earning potential.

I don't mean to take this in another direction, but did the whole meaning of the word hacker just go out the window?

How to become a Hacker. <<< skim over these pages.

It's not all about high-level knowledge...that seems to be a lesson that comes with experience.

The most advanced computer hackers still rely on basic strategies...'black hat' or 'white hat'...


either way, it's all fun and games 'till someone gets pissed.

Just want to get a quick show of hands...I recently installed Ubuntu on my Vista, Dual-core Presario.Couldn't help but notice alot of others with similar setups...Any problems with installing or booting?

There's not much to get confused about if you can follow a few good instructions...like a few posts above.Besides, Ubuntu makes it pretty simple now to do this...just take a deep breath anddo one thing at a time....just back everything up first!!!!Kind of like the old 'measure twice, cut once' deal.

sites are manually approved, right?there is a basic appeal and usability level the site should meet, aside from other factors. or am i wrong?

I'd say Google is the way to go-gle!...nevermind the attempt at a joke.Until next time/
