Thread: Everything wrong with Microsoft Corp.

  1. #31
    I'm guessing this is to get bonus points, as there is no way you'd want to use a no report mod to evade ratio requirements when you have a gigabit line.
    High speed does not help you on some trackers that i have. You know this.
    You need a seedbox. And that's something I'll definetly get in the near future.

    I'll try transmission. thanks.

    That's wrong on so many levels

    Anytime, I think there was also a mod for rTorrent but am too lazy to look it up.

    Why is it wrong? Most elearning trackers are impossible to seed at without keeping your computer up all the time. And that's not what I am willing to do, anon.
    I would gladly pay someone that will handle this crap for me. My computer stays up only for important tasks, torrenting is not worth it.

    Ugh, buying a seedbox when you have gigabit at home is like taking the bus to work when you have a Ferrari with infinite fuel that never needs maintenance and exclusive lanes built just for you. Also, the Ferrari has a carphone and can fly.

    Why don't you build a green PC for this task (or add a BitTorrent client to that router computer you were going to run Linux on), electricity can't be so expensive to the point paying for a seedbox is cheaper.

    I started using standby mode after hibernation broke, so I may or may not be able to say the same thing.

    It's not just about the electricity, I have to deal with the heat generated from it and the noise.
    Keeping your computer up just for seeding torrents is moronic.

    If it has a purpose, then sure. But not for seeding.

    no pay electricity/ISP bills, no more fuel
    if no maintenance, seeding no good
    ISP no liek infinite traffic nor torrents

    also, the car can talk and likes to hang out at a particularly awful hasselhoff tv show

    Green PCs generate little heat by definition (since heat is wasted energy). As a direct consequence of that, they're also quieter since less cooling is required in the first place.

    • True, but he was going to pay the bills anyway
    • A well built and installed server can run for years without taking a break
    • His provider has no traffic cap as far as I know

    I was sort of thinking of the Ford LTD from Men in Black or the Batmobile, but KITT is fine too

    seeding... is a purpose
    This!

    It's easy to survive even on the hardest trackers if you upload a few torrents. It doesn't make much time to upload some torrents. I had like 100+gb on bitme a few weeks after joining them. I uploaded elearning tutorials from rutracker to bitme.

    This is a pretty effective tactic if you don't have stuff of your own to share. I got to Elite on What.cd by stealing downloading albums from a lossless tracker and reuploading. Amusingly enough, the cycle of theft sharing continued, many of them ended up on RuTracker, and I was credited for "my" uploads... I just checked and several of those torrents are still up Just take care that your "source" tracker has no rules against this, or else you could lose your account.

    The Elite forum was nothing special, by the way.

    Anyway! This thread was about Microsoft, so... are you using some sort of hardened browser setup and can't open KB articles anymore? Enable DOM storage (also known as LocalStorage) or set your User-Agent string to "Googlebot" for microsoft.com and you'll be able to read them again.

    No one expected the Spanish Inquisition this GitHub acquisition. At least I sure didn't.

    It's all so sad man. What do we do if Richard Stallman/FSF loses these battles? If something were to happen to gnu/linux we're all doomed. It'll take 20 years to build another OS from scratch.
    Stallman has fougth most of his life but he is getting old now, and will settle down at some point. At the same time, Torvalds is shitting himself tilting at windmills. We're doomed...
