    Wow, someone hasn't been to their English lessons. Perhaps if you write in the language we call English people may answer. I can get a rough jist of what you are trying to say but I'm lost through most of it....

    Many Apologies for my spelling, I'm anus-peptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious to have caused you such pericombobulation. :p

    I was in a rush and I didn’t have a spellchecker

    What I was basically saying, was what’s worth download or doing on the web with a super fast internet connection

    Weeeellll.... You could always try to download the whole internet :p.

    More seriously: Download first the most secure software, then all kinds of spyware destroyer softwares abd scan your pc, and after that proceed bittorrent.
    And just in case you get bored see www.softpedia.com

    Iv just been looking at my bittorent client (Azureus) and it’s saying that I have a NAT problem which I assume is something todo whit the fact that my computer it connected to the net via a router since I dint have the problem b4 I added my route is there anything I can do to fix it and whould that be why my downloads are so slow?

    Well tally ho! With a bing and a bong and a buzz buzz buzz! – five points for you can tell me which series and the episode ;)

    for bit-torrent....

    on your router, forward ports 6881 - 6889 TCP to your pc. you will immedeately see a massive increase in speed.

    If your router supports UPnP that's the way to go as Az will open and close the ports it needs saving the need to do it manually.

    If thats a bt line I would not start downloading tons of stuff. They changed their Terms and Conditions (illegaly I might add) so that if you exceed 15GB/month they charge you. If you do the maths you actually have a 6kbps connection that can burst to 2Mbit.

    lots of companies have done this... really cheap 2mb BB but have really crappy (15gb) capps on it and then charge you x amount after you go over that... totally sucks..

    usenet! the best way of getting binaries.

    try www.newzbin.com for listings (quite good as it highlights some files that are illegal, great source of data to ban things for a corperate network apparently.)

    someone like www.usenetserver.com for $15 a monh will provide all the speed you need to download 24/7 without ever having to upload anything, its a great distrabution service.

    some ISPs provide usenet feeds, but most lack retention.

    When will peeps realise that the problem with ADSL is the Asymetrical bit, you can have a 100Gbs download link but if your downloading from a site thats transmitting a 256k your downloading at 256k. all that waste!!
