Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 On a more realistic note.... Downloading large files Defrag Make too much noise! (sodding fans!)
Guest squall Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 my comp is overclocked so i got alot of fans. and since my pc is in my bedroom no way could i sleep! i got broadband so i have it downloading all day
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 I'm upto 9 fans in my main case! Plus two more in my little server. They're both in my bedroom. I've invested in some ear plugs and a switch so i can turn off my case light. I have broardband, but share it with my housemates, so i tend to download lots at night, as not to reduce other peeps bandwidth during the day.
Guest squall Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 my broadband provider officially has the fastest commercial broadband in britian (2mb) i only got 512kbps, but its still great.
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 I'm on 600k with ntl. What provider are you with? Is it ADSL or cable?
Guest squall Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 cable. costs me £25 a month, ive had it for about 4 years, i got a home network set up with 2 comps and a lap top, but i still get great download speeds
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 same sort of price for me. but five computers and everyone running file sharing clients (for totally legal things btw) tends to strain the system a bit!
Guest squall Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 it would be interesting to know how much i have downloaded since i got broadband... its so bad that i reformat once a month. ive heard alot lot of baf things about ntl, how do you find them?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 Excellent :) in the south that is.
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 ntl are an arse to get setup, but normally fine after that (unless the cable network dies, rare tho). Customer services are pretty poor normally too. I've got 160Gb of HDD now. no formatting for me!
Guest squall Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 i got 2, one partitioned and one for music etc, not a huge size, but i have an extensive cd collection. when i need to do something new (i.e edit sound files, convert/ rip vid's) i download everything i can find in the way of demos/ freeware then when i get one that works put it on the partition, so when i reformat i got it handy again. gets rid of the stuff i that didnt work. I bought cool edit pro and use windows media encoder if anyone is trying to find good software.
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 i've got 2 80Gb drives in RAID0. Then that partioned into 2 drives, 50Gb for windows and apps, 110Gb for files.
Guest b1uepower Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 my computer just sits at night downloading... hostin my web site.. ;) and some times i have my ftp server running... :) in fact it does pretty much the same in the day time.. :roll:

Guest Brody Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 My PC is off as it has 5 fans that are too loud and I am at home at the moment and am missing our 600k ntl brodaband from uni so its not worth me dl'ing at night!
