    @Kevin4fm [image: 1791825086081-2cac420c-1aa0-4878-a0c5-8a1b13e2818b-image.jpeg] reducing those two settings can offer more stability, but it might impact your speeds. It's worth giving a try though, since you are using USB drives it'd be best to cut those values in half, so 5-6 for asynchronous I/O and around 51200 for disk queue.

    Even here, the term "unlimited" only refers to the time spent on the internet, as well as the total amount of data uploaded or downloaded in a month. Despite the total upload and download amounts combined being unlimited, almost every provider will have a maximum speed that you can reach in a 1 second interval… In short, that's where they get you with their "limits" on an "unlimited" internet connection usually.

    @cumeaternc: That makes two of us geographer. The only reason I have a Twitter account is to update the tracker status when the site goes down. Few members look at it though. Yeah, people are used to drama and fuckary on these sites and pay no attention to useful info. Seriously, when I see people updating their status on Facebook each time they are about to go to the toilet, it makes me wanna facepalm myself to death. By the way, if you're feeling moody, check out this site: hXXp://www.lamebook.com

    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.

    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.

    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://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=11496.0 providing more ideas about converting .flv to other more mainstream formats. Regards, TimF GT.ru staff hXXp://xtube.com/community/profile.php?user=Kinsey6 (for well over 1000 "favorites")

    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).
