  1. I started using the SMP client not to long ago and I just have to say wow. The work units are work insane amounts of points. I went from running two single core programs (I've got a dual core Opteron) to one SMP client and my contribution rate has skyrocketed. I suggest the SMP client to anyone who has a multicore CPU, even if it's just a dually.

  2. Working at our computer help desk, I realized that we have computers that are on 24/7. Went ahead and threw FAH on them. That's 3 more CPU's. Then, I got the bright idea of the lab computers. Went ahead and threw FAH on for of those babies. So, I am up to a grand total of 1 client I know will stay on always, 2 clients that likely won't get shut off, 4 lab clients that are restarted on weekends (deepfreeze is no fun) and MY computer. I love administrative access. lol

  3. I have had a couple of instances where AVG Free didn't detect a virus. You may want to try another anti-virus program as well to make sure it comes up negative. ClamWin is open source and free. It's slower than a lot of engines and you have to manually take care of the infected file, but it seems to do a pretty good job actually detecting the stuff.

  4. Great remix. Very well put together. True to the original without feeling forced. Good attention to details with the string plucking in the background. This isn't one of my favorite remixes of all time but that's probably got to do with the fact that the original tune was not one of my favorite themes in FF7 more than it has to do with the actual remix at all. I can't really think of any real critisms except that it's not on my all time favorite list.

    Very solid 4/5 sporks, perhaps even as high as a 4.5/5

  5. I'm currently on a trek to listen to every single OC Remix (well, the one's that have been put up in torrents at least) and I can honestly say that this is, without a doubt, still my favorite OC Remix track out there. The theme music is preserved, yet it sounds like this work is completely original. Not a hint of being forced into the jazz mold and then the jazz itself is top rate. The solos are to die for and just the whole big band feel in general is enough to make this both my favorite and most listened to track.

    I give it a solid five out of five sporks and if I could give it more, I would.

  6. Perhaps you're behind a firewall or something that doesn't isn't letting your bittorrent client through. Not really sure there but there are quite a few seeds. Just check the stats on the main page if you don't believe me. Anyways, I've never used bitlord so I don't know what's up but Azureus has always worked great for me.

    Hehehehe, my share ratio for Chrono Symphonic is now over 850:1. Party at my place when it hits the bit 1K mark! :-D lol

  7. P2P gets a lot of rap about being a huge distributor of pirated music/games/movies and what not. While this is very true, it is also an excedingly good method of legal file distribution. Therefore, I try to help out those legal files as much as possible and keep my torrents open until such a time as I take them off my computer. If you're paying a monthly fee for your bandwidth, there is no reason not to leave them open. Sure, close your client when you're playing CS-Source, but there is no reason you can't have the client up when you're just surfing the web or typing a paper.

    Oh, just thought that I'd mention that it's been about 2 weeks now since I formatted my HD and I've uploaded over 1.6 TB since that time. My ratios don't include all the time before that I've been uploading them :-P. Hurray for school bandwidth and an even bigger hurray for all the legal files that use bittorrent as their distribution method :-D.

    Keep you torrents open and the share ratios up. I'm out, peace! 8)
