Quick Movie Review

Watched Wall-E last week. Nice animation nice story nice graphics. Still prefer Kung Fu Panda though. My gf likes Wall-E a lot more than Kung Fu Panda. Possibly because of the romantic relationship between the cube and the pear? After reading the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, my expectations before watching this movie were also WAAAY too high.

Gf also wants to watch Meet Dave. I dunno… I’ve seen the preview, got really turned off by it. If I can’t stand the 1-2 minute trailer, I don’t know how I can sit through the entire 1 hour plus movie.

Special Bittorrent Client to Bypass Streamyx Throttling

Might as well write a new post about this. My favourite bittorrent application is a specially configured version of Bitcomet 0.64. It seems to bypass Streamyx’s throttling, maxing out my connection every time. You don’t have to perform port forwarding either. It seems to work better without port forwarding. You can download it here

Don’t change any of the settings for it. Just change your default download folder.

Additional Instructions:

For vista:
And if you have not increased the number of max half open connections on vista yet, do it asap.

that link will show u how to do so on vista.the default half open connections on vista is only 2 ( default for xp is only 10). This means that your computer can only wait for 2 other connections.this slows down bittorrent a lot.

Edit: Recently got an e-mail from user named ‘WARNING!’ for Vista users who have the latest security patch: Do not use this patch because it will mess up your Vista. So if this has happened to anyone, I apologize. See the comment 3 below for more info.

For windows xp:
follow this link to remove the limit on half open connections. i set mine to 500

hope this helps

PS. This seems to work best for people on windows xp. A Vista user reports tremendous increase in his bittorrent download speed by performing the TCP/IP patch.
