Yep! utorrent is so easy even an old fart like me had no problems setting it up!

Now THERE is a testimonial! 

Great post ol friend. 

Satelite in and  dial up out?  Different. Welcome aboard. What are the speeds like? Maybe run a speed test?

I had the same setup when I had old DirectWay.

You are sure your drivers are ok? Im sure you already checked that but you gotta always ask. Perhaps get a ohm meter and see if it is faulty hardware?

Let me see if utorrent is out for mac. If so use it, its a GREAT client. Ill BRB.

http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/mac <--- light, small, fast and easy to set up. At least the windows version is, I take it the mac is the same. BTW when it is asking for you to input your speed, all it is going to do is determine your upload settings. Always make sure your download settings are "unlimited" under preferences. If you need it throttled back, you can do so temp. but always take it back to unlim. Upload is different, you want it set to about 20% of your rated upload speed. If you are not browsing the net or you are just using BT then set it to 90 of your cap.

Ok now for your questions. Ill see if I can answer them in one sec. Im at work so I am here and there.

Utorrent will forward your ports for you and basically walk you through step by step.

This might help to. Try it out, let me know any questions you might have. I wrote a step by step guide for testmy but that was years ago. It is in the guides section but is horribly outdated, I wouldnt recommend reading it. Im sure you know by know the first rule of BT is patience. It usually takes it a while to hit speed.

My wife farts when the phone rings....

Unless, of course, you're a teacher. 

omgosh...who woulda thought that was in snopes...ur so smert...

it's still all very true...and alotta stuff that high schoolers need to hear...there was a time when school actually DID teach u about real life...damn now i forgot...what was that class called...anyway it was required for graduation...taught u alot of hard realities...it'll come to me when i'm not thinkin about it...bet u can't "snope" that one shugar

Hi Beautiful!  :kiss: :smitten: ....... aaaand a lil of BAM BAM that for ya.

Might as well add the last three then. 

12) Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic. Next time your out cruising, watch an 11-year old with a butt in his mouth. Thats what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for "expressing yourself" with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.

13) You are not immortal. (See Rule No. 12) If you are under the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room temperature lately.

14) Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you'll realize how wonderful it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You're welcome.

Flawed logic, a child can never realize how wonderful it is to be a child. Otherwise they would no longer be able to enjoy being a child due to the knowledge that realization would require.  :2funny:

that is a very profound message...whoever said it...but i don't remember who...i don't think it was bill gates...it'll come to me later...in the meantime...it still totally applies...

This list is the work of Charles J. Sykes, author of the 1996 book Dumbing Down Our Kids: Why American Children Feel Good About Themselves But Can't Read, Write, Or Add.

:haha: Gotta love this guy.

So im pretty sure its is FAP, just didnt know that they put me on it for the starting of the service, so i should be good in a day or so. 

Thanks for the help guys

Dont be a stranger. 

You are aware of FAP right?

Latency will be around 600ms at the minimum, which is perfectly normal for Hughesnet.  Signal has a long way to travel, nothing can be done about it.  FPS games are out of the question.

Unless you play online chess, gameing is going to be very difficult.

Welcome to the forum, unfortunantly those are things you are probably going to have with satellite. I doubt they can fix it. The game latency is going to always be pretty bad because your shooting your info up into space, it gets shot back down and goes where you want it to go. Then the information coming back does the same routine. Latency is going to be a problem. Your pages should not load real slow but your browsing will not be as fast as with DSL. If you have DSL as an option that is probably where I would go.

I'm not sure if he tried that, and note that the 8500GT is a very low-end card, even though it has 'high numbers', last I checked it's beaten by the old 6600GT.

RyanS: The card can theoretically do DX10, but it won't be playable.

Well he said on lower settings it still lagged in his OP. I wonder if Ryan might have nailed it. Maybe hes trying to use DX10. I had that same card and it ran the sims 2 at a lower setting which isnt a powerhouse game but I would think it could handle the ones he listed. Im far from being an expert though.

Now that I re read the OP it looks like he is trying for full power. That is the problem, the card just wont handle that.

Something is up here. His setup should run those at low settings with no lag IMO.

Nice! We still havent helped with the counter. There must be a way.

I would seriously buy one if I werent in the back of the office with my monitor towards me and my corner. Nobody can get behind me. 

I prefer B2 but the Battlefield games are not my favorite. 

Link doesnt work for me. Takes me to a page with a Panasonic ad. 

I haven't tried this one, but I did save it for next time, this happens all the time, people loose that thing when they have someone else build there box, so hey, thanks man !

I have never had an OS as good as this lite version of Vista. I love it. Like you said, I have lost many a product key as well.

Well my webcam has it's own ip adress so it just plugs into the router and can be accessed via the web. The address is  leicestercity.viewnetcam.com no need for www.

Hmm. Im not sure. Does that service you use not offer stat tracking? I take it they dont. I havent messed with webcams much, maybe someone will come along with a better answer.

Edit: This program will get most any key off of your computer. From Windows XP to the Sims.

I shared this in another thread but thought it may help enough people I would make it a thread. This program will find the Product Key for your Windows OS that is currently running. I believe it works on more than just Vista but if not there are clones that do at download.com. If you buy a PC with bundled OS the Key that is on the sticker on your pc is not a real Vista Key. If you try to use it on a fresh OEM copy of Vista it wont work. This gets your real key for you. Then if you decide to install a fresh copy of windows you have the key.

This is the description of the version I use. I removed some info about cracking it, we dont discuss cracking software here. But again, this is a genuine copy and all you need to do is use the Key you recovered with the product above and it is fully valid and genuine. I have been using this version for months now and LOVE it! It is SO fast.

Welcome! Depends on your setup. How is your webcam connected to the net? I mean, if I wanted to look at it where would I go to view your cam?
