It's zipped.  Password: pyon

Could you possibly give me instructions on how to properly install it with the key? I don't want to mess up

[~Dan~]

Just install the prog, then make sure the prog isn't running and click on key.reg.

Thanks again!

Okay, so I'm getting my internets through a Thompson/Alcatel Speedtouch 585(i), which is a modem/router sorta deal. All fine and dandy, until I realize that Sahre drops all node connections because of port problems. I followed Port Forward and forwarded said Share port, but to no avail. I used some port checker thing, to check the ports, and the request just timed out. However, the port that utorrent uses is fine (I'm thinking its because uPnP is enabled). Does anyone know how to remedy this situation? :<

edit : Did i miss something while looking for the error..?

You should just bypass the "router" part and connect directly.  These modem/router hybrids usually have really crappy implementations on the router side.

How exactly am I supposed to do that D:

[JTRIX]

currently when I download .wmv files online and watch it somehow there is a "out of sync" between the video and sound when I fastforward the movie. And sometimes the sound will be finish but the video will be playing, or the video will stop but sound will be playing.

How can I fix it?
Thanks!

[Biggie578]

gahhh! cuteFTP really isnt good at all! Get filezilla!!!!

what media player are you using JTRIX? I have different results with different file types/media players (wmv causes the most trouble). Tryout MPlayer, The KMPlayer, Media Player Classic/Winamp with the appropriate codecs.

I have one from the 500 series (the 510 unmodified, and one that can do ADSL2 also, but its on 'reserve') I actually like the thing, because it blocks everything from the outside by defualt that is not a response on something initiated from the inside.

The older one is a but picky about the port forwarding (I seem to be unable to have more then 23 ports forwarded) but I have the following config in the NAPT part:

Code: [Select]

Nr, Type, Inside address, Outside address, Prot, State
 
 1   Temp   10.0.0.10:21   unspecified:21   tcp   NONE
 2   Temp   10.0.0.10:8869   unspecified:8869   tcp   NONE
 3   Temp   10.0.0.10:80   unspecified:80   tcp   NONE  
 4   Temp   10.0.0.10:6881   unspecified:6881   tcp   NONE  
 5   Temp   10.0.0.10:6882   unspecified:6882   tcp   NONE
 6 ...
12   Temp   10.0.0.10:6889   unspecified:6889   tcp   NONE
13   Temp   10.0.0.10:8861   unspecified:8861   tcp   NONE
14   Temp   10.0.0.10:8862   unspecified:8862   tcp   NONE
15 ...
21   Temp   10.0.0.10:8868   unspecified:8868   tcp   NONE
22   Temp   10.0.0.10:11523   unspecified:11523   tcp   NONE  
23   Temp   10.0.0.10:11523   unspecified:11523   udp   NONE

10.0.0.10 is the IP address of the DMZ part of my firewall, which then forwards these ports to the correct machine on the internal network.

YMMV...

^ So you are using the same modem as maliciel?  Are you using the router part of it or bypassing it completely?

With 'NAPT' as in the list above, I think I am using the 'router part', I actually had two computers at one point directly connected to the modem, redirecting some ports to one machine, some to another, effectifly creating a DMZ construction.
I do not do 'server publishing' only port forwarding, I also do not use the DHCP part, because the rest of my network is behind the firewall.

gahhh! cuteFTP really isnt good at all! Get filezilla!!!!

In what way isn't it any good.  It enables you to upload to (or download from) an ftp.  You can't ask for anything more from an ftp prog really.

Dudes, wtf. How come I cant send mails using hotmail to this company who's email address ends in blah@companyname.com? It says I have an error and it must be in the @hotmail.com format

[Masabi]

Every video I play except for .mpg lags really badly in every player.  Can someone help?

Well, lets just say that Filezilla is "better". its interface is great and its opensource!! Thats the one thing you can ask from cuteftp.

and angryrainbow, check your CPU usage and also try uninstalling codecs and try a player like VLC. A little time ago, i couldnt have anything open if i wanted to watch a video cuz the video would take 100% cpu. I uninstalled mad crap, deleted empty/useless(old program files) folders, defragged (with PerfectDisk) disabled stupid effects in windows that you dont even notice, and disabled a shitload of services that windows starts automatically. Also cleaned registry and all temp. and scanned for spyware/viruses. Now I can have 2 videos playing simultaneously with little lag.

the sample you give should be accaptable, but a simple check might be what is the last part after the last '.' ? is that a 'valid' top level domain for the internet?

[Mugen]

no idea. copy and paste wouldnt work and i tried typing the stuff in manually and it worked. lol

Another problem! I dled this game "fable" off the next and i tried to install it after i mount it but it says "1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtme"

I thought it was corrupted. So I redled the whole thing again. and same thing happened. So its prolly something else.

First return on google for a search of this error points to:

I would try that...

I'm using utorrent, and find that when I set my DL max speed to unlimited and my UL max speed to unlimited, my DL speeds are low, about 80-100kBps.  

But when I set DL max speed to unlimited and my UL max speed to 10kBps, my DL speeds are flaming fast, 400kBps.  This is the same speed that I can download stuff from the filedump if I don't have any other apps on, so its pretty much saturating my broadband DL connection.

But its also making do some very unsocial behavior, and is really screwin up my tracker ratios.  Any suggestions?
