@kerby & lies

ahem... a fellow guitarist I am. No John Petrucci though but i have my own licks... main influences are: VH, hendrix, BECK, billy duffy, dimebag, tom morello, paul gilbert, gary moore, tony mcalpine, greg howe, slash, vai, satch... yes, they're ancient but well respected.

check this out: (been playin' since '93 - dredd days...)

(actually earlier coz i've been around since late 80's - OK i'm OLD but if it weren't for us, you guys will still probably listen to boybands)

*look at the bottom of that page... me on guitz

this was in '02 - my very last gig (fronting slapshock - i'm NOT a fan of them but it was the sched that time)

@becman ,,nice

what are you downloading when you got that speed,,??

uhm... it's embarrassing  (not an adult content, mind you) but when it finished, i had to trash it. it was suppose

to be a movie format but it couldn't open so i had to delete it. hours wasted for nothing.

but good speed though, huh?

@becman

i have a power supply like that from my broken enclosure,,can i use it??

thnxXx

yup. now all you need is the USB for the HD. let me know if you got one and where you found it. where do you live by the way? (me, para

ow yeah,,check out my download,,i got transfer rate of 200kB/s,.,its dwnloading from 100 to 200 yehey

yep, it does that sometimes. here's mine (i posted this before but it wasn't included when testmy got transfered to a new server... just like to share)

And you also need a power supply. There are lots of these in stores. Just ask the sales rep for a power supply for your external hard drive.

It's simply called "IDE-USB".

Something? Maybe someone.

you'll probably need this (for the police)

@becman

i got it now,,,nice enclosure there hehe.,., but where can i buy that stuff and whats the name of that wires??

i like to make my own enclosure just like yours,,very nice and cheaper,..,thnxXx

umm, that's the problem.. i dunno where it came from. my cuz just gave that to me. maybe you could search for it in PC shops or something.

@derek

you mean they're actually "babes"? 

Haha.. Yes, I do miss Smart Bro... I miss my "Phonepals" from their hotline LOL

I'm still waiting for the FiOS installation which maybe later  

those are nice CB. (and quite expensive)

@lies

here's what it means:

hey, you're back. how's your speed? do you miss smartbro (hehehe)?

yeah, there are SATA enclosures here also but i was suggesting this USB thing wherein you'll just plug it (IDE) together w/ the power supply instead of the whole enclosure. But i'm not sure if it's still available on stores.

@ CB

thanks. i forgot... that USB is IDE, i dunno if there's a SATA version for it (i dunno also if it's still available elsewhere... the exHD *cover only w/o HD* cost around 2K and i think this USB is just around 300+Php).

Here's another option (cheaper):

I have three (3) HDs also. The 3rd is External and i use this USB thingy for it. Although i have 500W of PS, i opted for another CDdrive for CD to CD copying and got this USB from my cuz who works before at PC Express. Unfortunately, i dunno where he got it but this USB cost cheaper than that of a regular exHD.

is that 1Mbps speed consistent? no tweaks? wow.

Huh? No. I wish...

My average is still 300-400Kbps. It only happened just once. I don't have any tweaks since mid January. 

@ kerby

dude, so far, you have the nicest set of APs i've ever seen ('cept for index 2). i think you don't need any tweaks at all. have you tried all colorcodes? mine, the best is: jitter1, RSSI:850+, usercount:60+ average.

peace

cool. thanks

'just curious... what does ipconfig/flushdns exactly do? can i do it often or just once? i mean, does it clear out something?

oh i get it... but it doesn't have any resize options to it. ...or do i need bigger glasses.

thanks again

your UL seems to be fine, maybe something hogging your DL (firewall..AV..ASW?)

@CB

thanks. 'should've seen this earlier.

(OT: this is what i mean.. how do you do yours?)

couldn't agree more.

@mudmanc4

coolbuster is currently on a test period with his new tweak (his speed's insane! in a positive way that is). he gives updates regarding his formula on his blog so as not to get in any conflicts with forum rules.

@ nonski

dude, no need to be rude. you should've tested a bit more until it became more stable. it's what they call burst/cached result (like my sig) but i do not claim it's MY speed or anything. although it feels good to see a high one every now and then.

<snip censored link> net often gives high results (like this) but i can't even get pass 100kB/s with an actual DL.

the term Expert here is actually determined/achieve by the number of posts by members (in other forums, you can easily become a MOD with just 1000 posts).. but some guys here actually are... in their own humble way.

peace.

edit: censored links are censored for a reason...do not try to code them to post...this is a bannable offense...i missed this one before...

mine, does around 30 - 45kB/s (on a good # of seeders)... never could reach 50kB/s.

i can only tolerate MBs (hours) but Gigs (a day or more)....forget it

My band (i've played for 19 years... i decided to bury my ax 6 years ago) (oh... i play lead guitar)

Actually using a cellphone (Any 3G Phone) to connect to the internet is much faster than smart bro hehehehe...

Whoa... I think I owe an apology to a friend. We had an argument with that matter before.

@ derek

You're leaving right? 'Hope you'll still drop by TMN once in a while. I find your inputs here very helpful.

@EF

Thanks

I'd like to rephrase my above question..

Will the tweaks be effective with SB plug-it?
