Schwaber,
There a 200X500 pixel limit on gifs in sigs. Let's get your changed to within spec.
My killer sig came courtesy of bb "El Jefe" mayo.

Yep, thanks for reminding me! I already changed it to 200x500 pixel :D
Anyway, I live in North York and I think cities within the GTA are affected by the blocking of Rogers. If you want, you can at least try calling them about it. :D

Tell me if there is a huge different when downloading using bell. I, for one, is thinking the same thing. But I doubt there wouldn't be much difference.

yea there is a huge different because bell doesn't block torrents so it will be way faster. It's like downloading with a router without port forwarding... trust me bell might decrease your overall speed but will increase your torrents speed like crazy!!:)

hmm your going pretty fast just make sure you have protocol encryption on and it also matters on how many seeders and so but 170kb/s is pretty fast. Also your web browser will be slower but it shouldn't really be very slow or anything.

Hi to all. I'm a noob here so please let me know and disregard my question if I'm breaking the rules here. I was almost finished with a little more than an 8GB download of a torrent. I accidentally hit some friggin button and some how i deleted the torrent from the utorrent client. I still have about 80% of the file. Is there a way i can continue the download from where i left off, and please tell me how to do it, if u can. Thank you so much for your help, if ur able to...thanx

If you have the 80% in the same download folder, just reopen the same torrent or if it was deleted, download it from the same site and open it.

Do u remember the link of the file that you are downloading? If so, just download it again and it will resume to the way you left it.

wow im downloading a smaller torrent now (1.24gb) and with only a few seeds and my speeds are averaging 31kb/s, it's only about 15% but with my last download, at 25% it broke down. Im not sure if my ip starts to throttle the downloading later but does any1 know any tips to keep the speeds high if you have an isp that blocks?

You could try downloading through the night. Some ISP's don't block during low use periods.

yea, mistycat is right. I usually dl stuff during midnights and early mornings(around 1am). I think when u have rogers, that is the best time to dl stuff in Utorrent. I always leave my computer on over the midnights and by the time I wake up, the dl is done. :D

hello to all. once again thanx a mill about redoing the download. i started this download saturday and with all of the learned tweaking and research i finally finished downloading the 8gb torrent this morning. couple of questions though. 1)can anyone direct me to instructions on how to copy the torrent to a disc. its a game that's suppose to be on dvd and i need to know exactly how to do it. it has raz files. 2)i want to seed so badly coz of obvious reasons, however, it's such a hideous drain on my bandwith. anyone know how to correct this? if possible i'd appreciate asap replies so that i can seed asap. thanx again
