shai Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Seriously considering getting this- Lenovo IdeaPad B575-1450A5U I'm fairly certain I won't find anything better than that for the money. I've been using an IdeaCentre workstation for the past few months, and so far that's been rock solid...Lenovo makes some good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_:MemphisOrDie:_ Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The best thing you can do to speed up your computer is add some ram. How much ram do you have now (right click my computer and go to properties)? The amount of stuff on your hard drive (profiles, files etc) could effect the speed if your hard drive is running low on space. Deleting things does not necessarily mean a faster computer. Do this: 1. Find out how much RAM you have now. Add more. 2.Go to Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove programs and remove anything you dont use. 3. Delete any files you dont use. 4.Download CCLEANER and run it. http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER 5. Also scan for malware ( download Malwarebytes and run a full scan) http://malwarebytes.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just as a hypothetical: Say i wanted to download 210 TB as a backup archive from a private torrent site? What would be the best way to go about this? The reason I ask is that any private torrent site has a finite life. Loss of interest, RIAA, not enough money etc. I got a 1.5 TB for $60 on sale and even at full price, 210 TB would run $9,600. I am not asking because I want to start a torrent site, I would just like to attempt to back it up for when the next site that takes its place can have it. I'd leave it to the mods etc to figure out the technical behind it. Meh, it's probably not going to happen but if it were, what would be the best way to go about backing up 210Tb that you have to download personally?

Guest Ginger Bread Man Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 all i can say is that is alot of info. hope you have investors as you will need some rack mount servers... why not just compete against google while you are at it. to do something reliable is going to set you back at least 20k if im not mistakened. the link provided by mephis below does not include hard drives?

xen Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 all i can say is that is alot of info. hope you have investors as you will need some rack mount servers... This a legit question, no ch0 sarcasm etc. Just to gather the data? I will not be transmitting the data personally. why not just compete against google while you are at it.This is no where near the amount of data google stores. to do something reliable is going to set you back at least 20kWe are just investigating at this point so money may or may not be an option. I am working under the the pretense that it is a pipe dream but if it did come to be, we would be under serious financial constraints but 20K might not be unreasonable. if im not mistakened. the link provided by mephis below does not include hard drives?

_:MemphisOrDie:_ Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yeah if your not gonna distribute it your just gonna need a shitload of hard drive space. I mean 210 Tb is a fucking lot of data. You could do it with 210 1tb external drives I suppose. You should be able to do this for well under 20k. get yo'self 105 of these: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST2000DL003/dp/tech-data/B004CCS266 and one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OORMVQ/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001JQMEBM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0WX3FFCPRXYX8PYBNQR7 and a good internet connection.

Guest Ginger Bread Man Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 obviously i was joking with the google part but mephis is right you can bridge 100 drives together <gonna get real clustered unless you design a little setup yourself where you can stack them all on top of each other some how. i mentioned the word reliability, remember that cheap is most often times NOT better. 210 tb distributed over 105 2tb hd may spell disaster, these drives have mechanical parts, more mechanical parts increases the risk of partial or total data loss at any given drive. if it is just a backup that wont be used for more than transferring info from one virtual drive to the next, you may get away with it. considering so much data is at stake, i wouldn't risk it.

xen Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Ya. I am just talking about some rare 1920's blues on up to Lady Gaga. Just stuff that we think should be archived, kind of as a Smithsonian type effort. There are 14 of us that are willing to rent seedboxes and purchase external drives and basically store the shit away once they are done. Pirates with a purpose as it were and the largest archive we have found is 210TB. This is on a private tracker. When this tracker goes down, as we fear it will, it would be nice to set up another one but if not, fuck it. The data is there. Again It's probably just a fucking dream but it would be ok if a couple of us made it happen. *no i am not smoking weed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silba Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 are these decent speeds? Do any of you guys know of a faster provider. I wanted to go the Verizon but its not available in Chicago Maybe a smaller faster company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaykir Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 the speeds you are showing, are average , but very slow for Chicago, I would try your local cable company for better speeds and better uptime and I would hope you are not paying more than $30.00 a month for speeds like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaykir Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 ok well you should be getting 10.0 Mbps down - and 1.5 upstream for a about $45-$59 depending on the city. I know comcast is in Chicago which really sucks ( they have bandwidth limits and shit ( another subject but anyway. If you never had them before you should try them but here is a big secret. Call a bunch of times and keep getting price quotes and as soon as you get a person say you can get locked into a promo deal for $19.99 a month for the first 6 months - sometimes they say a year snag it- after the 6th month they will jump to $47.99. you are locked in for I believe 2 years. ( but don't quote me on that ) it may take 10 to 15 calls to get an operator to tell you about the $19.99 promo ( its a slip up that new operators make ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis and Clark Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Question. When viewing the oontz sometimes something tries to redirect me to ( http://xpmyfdfxxp.com/index2.php?06abQDYyQRKXBTny+nszi8D+KmtuYXdrel1ec3SpU1gBMMJ4EnuD ) my Symantec protection stops it and says Fake App Attack, Fake AV download request?.... something it doesnt like was trying something and it goes to the 'cannot display page' I was guessing it could be some spyware or something but It only happens when viewing 12oz and i think really just Ch. O suggestions? is this in the site or on my computer? happens at both of my work computers which are located at 2 very different locations.

abcs Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 got a linux question. I bought a new HP notebook. Wireless is something of a problem i've come to realize between notebooks and Linux. I downloaded an Intel driver from the HP site and it is apparantly an acceptable wireless driver for a linux OS. If i load ubuntu and I physically connect to my router and go to the HP site for drivers and software.... will i be able to load that driver and connect to the internet. Unless i'm mistaken .exe dont mean shit in Linux. Whats the best method for running this system on my notebook? I sort of want to dual boot between windows and linux. Anybody have any advice?

xen Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I had a cracked version of daemon tools installed but it seems that either the crack didn't work or I didn't do something right.

Silba Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have 3GB of Ram(2.75 usable) on my Toshiba Satellite L505D I was wondering If I could upgrade to 8GB of RAM would be a viable upgrade http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139481 Is it worth it? Would it be able to be placed into my Laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
