Jetico Personal Firewall for Window


.....it fulfill the firewall task, block dangerous incoming/outgoing connection, ask to user before make a decision. If you're sure the program is a safe one, choose "Handle as Application Trusted Zone," when allowing it through so that it can make outbound connections without you having to allow it through ever time. If you instead select "Allow this Activity," you'll be asked every time the program needs to make an outbound connection.

The firewall also includes a traffic monitor, and a log that keeps track of all network events.


I like free stuff!!

Speed up Your Torrent

How to configure your router to allow fast BitTorrent downloads(..also modem router)

There sure is a lot of people that have adopted BitTorrent as the tool of choice to download movies and TV shows. However if you are using a network router you might be facing painstainkingly slow downloads (of around 10Kbps) because of a network configuration not properly set. Some think it's a client thing and switch from one to another with no results.

The problem's cause is that some ports on your router are blocked by default and the solution is to open them up. We had to find it the hard way because lots of FAQ lists out there don't give enough detail on how to solve this issue. This simple but useful tip will increase download throughput from 10 to ~240 Kbps.

NOTE: The specific example below considers a Linksys router, but that should work for any other manufacturers (e.g. D-Link, Netgear, etc.). Our Linksys router is the Wireless-G WRT54G. Other models might have a slight different user interface but should be very similar.


1) Open a web browser window and type your Default Gateway IP number in the address bar. It should be 192.168.1.1 in most cases.
192.168.1.1
2) To login leave username blank and type admin for the password (unless you have changed it before which is always advisable)
3) Find the section that says Port Range Forwarding or similar
4) Add in the port range 6881-6889 for Torrent files
5) Make sure you check both protocol boxes TCP and UDP as well as the Enable setting.
Linksys config
6) Have the forward address set as your internal IP address 192.168.1.72 in our case. To find yours Go to Start -> Run and type in cmd.
CMD
This will open a DOS window. Type the command IPCONFIG and look for your IP Address.
IPCONFIG
7) Confirm and submit all the changes and that will probably work.

If you�ve been through this share your experience here. If you have different routers or versions of Linksys and there�s something different let us know how to configure it. I use Aztech DSL 600 eu, above guide is a general guide, so i think you can apply it to your router..(alamak dah nak semayang jumaat dah nih...aku gi bersiap dulu..)

What p2p that you use...

So many P2p client on the net....i've try so many of it..limewire, warez, Kazaa.. include torrent like utorrent, bit torrent, bit comet....but what the different between them?

  1. uTorrent
    (This is your editor's favorite torrent tool. uTorrent is also known as "micro torrent". It has all the functions a torrent downloader will ever need, yet it requires less than 1 MB of hard drive space and memory. uTorrent strives to give you all the downloading and seeding performance of its competitors, but with minimal impact to the rest of your computer's speed. Outstanding performance for its size and price.)
    January 2007 warning: one About.com reader did report getting a virus after using the uTorrent embedded search engine.

    The virus was adware.ZQuest. As you should do with any software you install, please run your anti-virus scanner regularly. To specifically scan the uTorrent software, use Windows Explorer to locate the utorrent.exe file on your C drive (likely C:\program files\utorrent). Once you find utorrent.exe file, right-click it and launch your virus scanner. Gratefully, the vast majority of About readers have not had virus problems with uTorrent.

  2. Azureus
    (A Java language client; was considered "king" of the torrent programs until uTorrent software came along and took that crown away. As with uTorrent and any other software you install, ensure that you virus scan.)

  3. ABC
    (Another very popular Torrent client)

  4. TurboBT
    (Nice-looking GUI appearance with this package)

  5. BitComet
    (Good, but losing popularity to uTorrent and Azureus)

  6. The Original BitTorrent Client
    (Authored by Bram Cohen himself; no fancy GUI here, but it downloads quickly. Recommended for programmer types and Macintosh users)

For P2p filesharing, i had use limewire, warez, kazaa, ares(currently)....I think all of that i used, just have a lil' bit different, nothing much. i think the features too. Like Ares you can download file with file sharing, and you can download use torrent file too(many people don't know this..!!). Same as limewire. Maybe Azereus, Emule, Edonkey, warez have it feature too...You do not have to use different client to download between torrent file, and normal file sharing....am i right??
