You know, sometimes it is the simplest of problems.

I forgot I had kept all my partitions in FAT32 in case I ever decided
to use MythTV instead of MCE.  Hmmm...now a dilemma.

my question is this: how do you get a 5GB file via a torrent..it's so 
friggin slow to get files that way.

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem

Not really.  BT breaks up all files no matter how big into small
pieces and is uploading/downloading them all at the same time.  But
it's not uncommon to wait a couple of days for a download that big.

I'm in no hurry :)

Christ, I don't know about that.  I get ISOs (DVD ISOs) via Torrent (Mandrake 
is a great example) which are 6.77G or whatever, and generally I get around 
400k/s.  So, just start in the evening, done by the morning.

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem

Also depends on the volume of peers to the ratio of leecher shit heads.

I have less of an issue with speed and more of one with getting 
multi-hundred MB files that are NULL data when looking for my fav TV 
shows. Must be an active campaign to thwart P2P sharing of TV shows 
putting up these files.

Good that I found that out. I am going to put together a KnoppMyth 
R5A30  setup with parts out of my boneyard using a >>>


Tyan Tiger dual PIII board,
dual PIII 1Ghz CPUs,
750megs of Crucial PCI33 CAS2 ECC RAM
Couple of DiamondMax 40 and 30GB drives,

ATI AIW 7500,
ATI 1 Remote
   < I did some research and found somebody on the KnoppMyth forum who 
used this card and remote successfully straight from setup


Standard Keyboard, MS explorer optical mouse

So I should use only FAT32 or Knopp Native partitions? Anything else I need 
to know.

I suspect it's market-specific.. 'cuz it sure the hell ain't true here in Vegas
where I'm capped at $49.99 for 5Mb/s down and Cox clearly holds a strangle-hold
monopoly... And Torrent speeds crawl... But that's probably all the Terabytes of

Many UK ISPs are restricting traffic on P2P ports and are implementing
download caps on their ADSL lines too. I pay £25 which works out as ~$43 a
month. For this I get max of 2Mb down and 256Kb up. This is changing at the
end of the month to 8Mb MAX down and 786Kb MAX down (this is rate adaptive
to suit the quality of your line). I'm also limited to 50GB of downloads a
month between 08:00 and 00:00 (00:00 to 08:00 is un-metered).

Boy would I like the deal you are getting...

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem

[Hayes Elkins]

I average about 1.2-1.6MB (that's bytes, not bits) on a well seeded torrent. 
Hopefully as Verizon rolls out FIOS in your areas the competition will bring 
prices down.

15/5 for $30? Where are you at? I knew Cox was offering 15/2 for $55 (with a 
3-month $20 off promotion) in select (read: FIOS competition) markets, 9/1 
in many others, but even Verizon 15/2 is $80/mo...and I've only seen 5mbit 
up on Verizon's 30/5 package, for $180/mo.


15/5 for $30 seems highly suspect.

Yes! I have always used uTorrent ,and have never understood why all the

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2003 called

Cable and phone companies are giving bandwidth away these days. Thank 
goodness for FIOS (not that I would ever touch anything from Verizon) - 
their precense made Cox drop my broadband bill to 29.99 and upped my 
download to 15Mb/s and uploads to 5Mb/s.


5GB of data if seeded decently is about 3-4 hours on average, sometimes 
much, much quicker.





15/5 for $30? Where are you at? I knew Cox was offering 15/2 for $55 (with 
a 3-month $20 off promotion) in select (read: FIOS competition) markets, 
9/1 in many others, but even Verizon 15/2 is $80/mo...and I've only seen 
5mbit up on Verizon's 30/5 package, for $180/mo.


15/5 for $30 seems highly suspect.

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem

Yeah. According to this page:
http://www.cox.com/Fairfax/HighSpeedInternet/premier.asp
it is 15/2 in Fairfax, for $55/mo. You on the $20 off for 3 months promo?

NOVA and DC are the two places I knew for certain Cox was offering 15/2. 
They're pushing 9/1 in other competitive areas around the country.


Major turnaround for NOVA, though. For years the laughing stock of the 
broadband community...and now there are tiers as high or higher than 
anywhere else.

[H] Interesting MCE bug

[Brian Weeden]

Sometimes when I go to load a video file in MCE it will freeze.  When
I remote log in to see what's going on using VNC is when its gets
really intersting.

I can CTL-ALT-DEL and kill the MCE shell giving the remote desktop the
standard windows desktop.  But onscreen the TV is still showing the
frozen MCE screen.  I can move the mouse around, open and close apps,
and still on the TV it shows the frozen MCE shell.  When I reboot the
machine, for about 30 seconds it shows the MCE screen until finally
the signal kicks out.  It is rather annoying because when this happens
the only solution I have found is to reboot the machine.

I am using an nVidia GeForce ti4400 video card with nVidia 81.98
Forceware drivers.  I have MCE 2005 fully patched.

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem

It's $20 off for six months for me, plus $5 off for using their phone 
product. The 2Mb cap is non-existant, real world upload is just under 5Mb. 
Funny thing is that the "normal" package subscribers report DL as good as 
premier accounts. Tons of bandwith here in the Washington DC area for the 
taking.

Re: [H] Interesting MCE bug

[Winterlight]

It's your video / capture drivers and probably has something to do with 
video overlay. This sort of thing happens all the time with ATI AIW etc. It 
is a bitch to solve with ATI. I make my builds with sequential images, and 
then backup the OS every two weeks, just so I can go back to a working 
version, when dealing with this sort of problem.

Geforce 4400 is not a supported device.  Supported devices must be DX9 HW 
Compatible, otherwise you run into this kind of issue.  If you had a 5200, this 
would not happen :)

Wait a minute... you're running MCE 2005 withe GF4 Ti4400?
Thought that wasn't possible (seeing as MCE 2005 uses VMR 9).

Wouldn't the minimum be a GeForce FX or 9x00 (x=5,6,7,8)?

If you know the name of the file your looking for just shop around
until you find the fastest speed and shut the others down. Works for me.

Christ, I don't know about that.  I get ISOs (DVD ISOs) via Torrent
(Mandrake is a great example) which are 6.77G or whatever, and generally I
get around 400k/s.  So, just start in the evening, done by the morning.

  
  
Man, I would die for Torrent speeds like that.. Torrent files of 3-4G takes days
and days..
ISP's must be throttling Torrent..

Re: [H] Weird BitTorrent problem

[Jeff Lane]

Comcast here in Spokane is $42.95(if you subscribe to cable..~$55 if you 
don't) for 4MB down and 384 up(and that just went up a couple of months 
ago). DSL is limited here...not many COsso the bandits have no 
competition. Phone company Quest is making some noise but I wonder if they 
are very serious as all the do is funnel our money to the heavy competition 
locations.

It's a perfectly fine video card with onboard MPEG-2 processing.  More
than what SHOULD be needed for simply playing DVDs and video files. 
Why wouldn't it be supported?

Re: [H] Interesting MCE bug

Because the GF4 is a DirectX 8 part, and I guess MCE requires the fully 
programmable pixel pipelines DX9 provides.
