Via services.msc or the task manager?

What's the best program to copy (probably protected) data DVDs? I tried using DVD Decrypter but it says it's not a DVD. I guess I could just copy paste it but I have a feeling it's not going to work...

the best torrent site on the net for retro games just opened signups for the first time in ages...

AND they're having full freeleech until next friday

ok i'm trying to upload a compilation to megaupload or mediafire. on both sites it shows me uploading the entire file instantly and sits analyzing or something. ever hear of this before? i have no idea what the problem is. usually when i upload it actually shows the speed and it takes a while.

Does it actually upload the file or does it just analyze forever?
I've had problems before with uploading sites where the progress tracker wouldn't appear to work correctly but the file was still being uploaded.

You can verify whether it's still uploading by right clicking your LAN connection (or wireless connection if you're using wireless) and choosing "Status". The packets being "Sent" should make it apparent that you're uploading the file, if indeed you are.

ahh should have thought of that. thanks!

edit: doesn't look like it is working. i guess i will just let it sit for a few hours and hope it works.
