so like...how do i partition ym hard drive..yeah lame question..i know how..but i dont want to erase my old OS

I use partition magic. Found a torrent for it with a crack and all that jazz. You'd like it really easy interface and it even formats the partition for you. Try downloading it on someone's computer with DSL or cable and use alcohol 120% to burn the cd image. The crack should be in the image so just explore the cd when you put it in. Good luck

Zone Alarm works fine for most purposes. If you have a router it should have a NAT Firewall built in. There are others but I can't remember the names (Sygate might have a free one).

I have a ftp server on this computer too, so I'm looking for one that won't mess with my transfers. (I have a firewall on my router and I have a commercial one that's expired). Oh and is there anyway I can change how my bandwidth is used? I only get 45kbs uploads and that brings down my downloads. I want it to be about even (I have a 512 connection that runs steady at 606).

davidMC1982 · 06-08-2006, 11:42 AM

Enable the firewall on your router, close all the ports, then open them as required. This is the only to ensure you are secure (and is much better than the ZoneAlarm type firewall). Your FTP server will be using port 20 or 21.

Regarding bandwidth. If you are on ADSL there's not a lot you can do (the A stands for asymetric, as in more download than upload bandwidth). However, your ISP may be able to offer you a different connection package to get better upload speeds. If you use a public ISP (as opposed to commercial), don't tell them you are running an FTP server. Most of the license agreements don't allow this.

Yeah, I have ADSL so that's no fun and I'm not paying for it so I can't complain much. I've only got port 21 open on my router firewall and on my other firewall. But I'll check out ZoneAlarm too. Thanks for the help man.

It takes a little while to adapt to it but it's free. If you use torrents just go on www.torrentspy.com and search photoshop

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
