Re: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Case : Cable Management?

I've built about 20 machines in this exact case. While I love it for small Core i3 builds for offices, I wouldn't recommend it if your moving into the i5 + dedicated graphics direction (especially a 970). While you can hide some cables behind the back and some underneath the HDD/SSD caddy and it lo...

Re: Very fast INTERNET, but TOO SLOW DOWNLOADS

BitTorrent is a protocol designed to be open in the first place. Even the traffic is encrypted, your IP is still being broadcasted so if you are sharing something illegal and they really want to find you, they still can. It is not going to be "secure". But to avoid traffic shaping, there ...

Re: Very fast INTERNET, but TOO SLOW DOWNLOADS

It's something that's fairly hard to confirm, but the fact that only torrents and mediafire are affected is suspicious. Your isp is on Vuze's list of bad ISP's, You might try another torrent client that uses encryption to hide the traffic type from the isp to see if that helps, see http://wiki.vuze...
