    Recommended Torrent Client

    Those using qbtorrent, did you add your IP in Options>Adv>IP address reported to trackers ? Also when using VPN do you use your VPN app (connect or disconnect) or use the proxy function within qbtorrent? Thanks for any insight.

    Recommended Torrent Client

    I have been using utorrent 3.2.2 for over 20 years now and this week I starting to get random errors. It has been crashing regularly since win11, but requires a simple restart so I just kept using it. Anyway, any recommendations from the masses?

    Windows 11 2H22 - update does not see ethernet

    I tried to update Win11 to the 2H22 build and it could not find my ethernet which was working fine 5min before the update attempt. I reverted back as I dont want to mess with it all night, but is this just a driver thing for the new build maybe? I reverted back as mentioned and bam...all good...

    Power outage last night killed QNAP...now what?

    So went back to 453 pro and all has been well, and not really wanting to spend thousands of dollars on another one, but curious to know what would yall do with a dead TS-851? I was going to chunk it, but do you think people would buy it for parts or for a fixer upper?

    Power outage last night killed QNAP...now what?

    I am on my third QNAP; 2 bay to 4 bay and as of last night...8 bay (TS-851). I only had 6 drives...4 in a big pool for media, and 2 in RAID for important files. I was getting no beeps and red lights so seems system fell into the "intel bug" issue. I was able to put the 2 RAID drives in old 4...

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    While I hear what you are saying, I do need a switch of some sort...3 hard wired PCs and a server using two cables (in aggregate). The xbox can go wireless, but it is hardwired as well. I am open to getting rid of the R9000 if that is the bottle neck..thanks for that insight. I guess I just...

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    Sorry for the confusion...I am only using the xfinity modem right now, but own several others to include the Arris S33. My setup is xfinity modem (bridge mode) > Netgear 9000 router (wifi disabled) > DECO M9 plus mesh. My main rig is hardwired directly to the Netgear router and where i am...

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    I cannot argue with your statement, but honestly you have no idea what my needs are from this post. However I agree that these speeds are not needed by most and rationally, maybe not even for myself. For reference, I host a server on my home network that I feel warranted this level of service...

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    My xfinity modem shows as a TECHNICOLOR CGM4331COM. Is this an XB7? I mean its white. I can get like 800 from their speed test via hard wire, but anything wifi is like 500 via netgear mesh...nothing near the 1200 my contract has. mostly get 500-600 wired as well...anything over 800 is rare. I...

    When will Video Card prices come down lower?

    I hear ya, but like you I am watching discords and seen plenty of cards drop that I could have gotten at reasonable pricing. I think the bundles are garbage unless you are needing those things. Just last week there was a Best buy drop of almost all cards and PS5s. I got what I needed like...

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    I am running the xfinity modem, a R9000 router and a DECO M9 plus mesh. As mentioned, I would have the Arris as the modem and feel like it was a solid setup. The xfinity modem is "x" factor. I have to follow up with xfinity to see if there is indeed noise or whatever.

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    I am thinking that the Arris S33 will outperform theirs, but that is my opinion. You state that you "went back and forth before getting rid of theirs"...meaning you are using yours right now? Can you share model number/manufacturer? I am still going to call them, but I feel better with my own...

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    Once I changed the modem to passthrough, I really only see a message that says just that. I can run speeds tests as I am sure you know via wifi devices, hard wired devices and using multiple sites to try and all are consistent and have yet to get ANYTHING over 900. Since xfinity has a plan for...

    Xfinity - using your own modem/router or theirs

    There are many similar posts to this and I have read most, but wanted to know if anyone starting their xfinity service with the ISP provided router and then switched back to their own and the results. I have always used my own modem, and router through Comcast, spectrum and abroad. In Texas I...

    Good question....not sure. I go there often as I am following a discord that drops all this insight to GPU availability and pretty much look at all the EVGA 30 series as well as B stock to see whats out there. I have a few friends that are still looking for GPUs sub $1k so i just stayed in the...

    When will Video Card prices come down lower?

    I hear ya! I got lucky and got the cards i wanted last year but it was still a challenge. I am ready for the new tech to drop so all the scalpers are stuck with all that stock and/or have to sell for a loss.
