How to piss me off with online video sharing websites

azureus online video streaming

The idea of sharing an internet connection with strangers can be really annoying, not that I have a choice, but was forced to because the landlord says so, I do have the option of acquiring my own telephone line but it is going to cost me a bomb.

Long story short, the situation was made worst when I am forced to share the internet connection with 7 people in the house; the best part is the broadband connection quota for every month capped at 40GB. That is like 170MB for each person per day, which is hardly enough. The 40GB cap per month is the ceiling quota from the company.

Since the broadband internet connection is limited to 40GB per month, why can’t these users be more considerate? Is it a must to watch funny videos online, multimedia sites such as YouTube really annoys me, especially video streaming sites that uses torrent technology.

I found a few ways to block Azureus, but could not find a solution towards the much more popular p2p video streaming software known as ppstream.com, its a Chinese video streaming website that utilize p2p technology and it is really killing the bandwidth. As much as I would like to scream ‘Go back to China’, but that is somewhat rude. (No racism here, I’m Chinese but not from China)

Buying a new VPN modem is out of the question, it is just way too expensive and why should I be the one paying for the hardware? P2P technology, it is a love hate relationship. God help me.

Check who has block or deleted you from their MSN Messenger

Check who has block or deleted you from their MSN Messenger

Due to the popularity of these ‘reveal me the secret’ web application, we’re beginning to see the rise of various numbers of ‘Check who has block or deleted you from their MSN Messenger’ websites.

You’re Blocked, gives you the chance to find out who has blocked or deleted you. You just have to write your MSN account and your password, the system will process the information and within a few seconds you’ll get the list of users who are lying to you.

For those that are not familiar with these sorts of programs, please be cautious when it comes to giving out your password to strangers especially unknown websites. I believe once a person reveals his/her password, the web application would systematically harvest all of the contacts from his/her msn list and start spamming unwanted messages to your friends and family. This can be seen in the form of ‘Find out who deleted you’ message that you received from a friend and a link to the website.

I can’t be sure to what extend these websites uses the information harvested from your msn, but I notice whenever a friend of mine took part in these programs, there is a sudden increase of spams in my inbox, it is likely that these web applications harvested my email from my friends and sold it to spammers. My advice is, do give it a try if you’re really curious about it, once you’re done toying with the web application, do change your email password.

REMOVE MSN VIRUS WITH MSN VIRUS REMOVAL TOOL

Here is a useful tool if you notice one of your friend has been promoting some sort of downloads and he or she is not aware of it, chances are, his.her computer is infected with a virus, trojan or probably a worm, if that is the case, I would suggest that you advice him/her to give MSNVirusRemoval tool a go.

Broadband Bandwidth Management, Distribute Internet Connection Equally

March 21, 2008 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials · Comment 

One of the many problems when it comes to sharing broadband connection is the distribution of bandwidth, I’m having a tough time tweaking my wireless router settings, and things are made worst when the internet is shared between 8 people in the house.

I’ve tried searching for a solution and ways to distribute the broadband bandwidth and finally found out that the only way to distribute the broadband bandwidth equally among everyone is non other than the use of small-office broadband router, it’s the hardware that makes the difference. A good wireless router has the ability to set up a Virtual Private Networking with user ID and password for each individual, each individual can be allocated a certain amount of bandwidth, and a good router has the ability to block all bittorrent ports.

Broadband Bandwidth Management

Broadband Bandwidth Management

When it comes to choosing the right modem, choose those that comes with VPN (Virtual Private Networking), it is worth the investment and almost everything is on auto-pilot mode, this would prevent bandwidth hogs from loading your connection. Here are some really good VPN wireles routers:

linksys modem broadband management

d-link moderm router wireless broadband management

Distributing and sharing broadband internet connection has never been so easy, the best part is these routers has the ability to assign each person a login ID and password, allowing you to keep track on their surfing habits. Big brother is watching you.

If Linksys and D-link is way too expensive, try DrayTek Vigor 2800VG, its the cheapest and yet pack with lots of features that can never be found in D-link or Linksys router. Try the Live Web Admin Interface demo, you’ll be amazed.

US Army Block MySpace and YouTube

US Army Block MySpace and YouTube

It appears thats the US Army is blocking access to site like YouTube and MySpace, reason being that it hogs bandwidth and it is a threat to the army security if any important data leaks, which is yet to be seen or hear of.

I find this ironic, considering the fact that US is the champion of freedom of speech, on top of that military personal uses these site to keep in touch with their friends and relatives, cutting off them is like cutting off their oxygen, sure there is always email, but email don’t provide the same service.

Army Times has this to say:

“This is as much an information war as it is bombs and bullets,” he said. “And they are muzzling their best voices.”

MySpace and YouTube are not the only victims, other sites covered by the ban are the video-sharing sites Metacafe, IFilm, StupidVideos, and FileCabi, the social networking sites BlackPlanet and Hi5, music sites Pandora, MTV, and 1.fm, and live365, and the photo-sharing site Photobucket.

What happen to sites like Friendster or Flickr?
