My recommendations for everything on the internet.

Hi all,
I get lots of queries about lots of different topics from lots of people.
Not cos I'm knowledgeable or what, but cos I'm just generally good at wasting my time on non productive things.
So this is my my resource for all u peeps regarding all things that I like for you to waste YOUR time

Torrent

I try to squeeze out every last bit outta my TM Streamyx connection, and to my knowledge TM practices traffic shaping to save their precious bandwidth.
Well after using multiple torrent clients like Utorrent and BitComet, my download speeds were well below what my 1MB line should provide. In the vicinity of 20 to 50 kbps. On a good day. Sucky.

Well after much suffering and surfing i finally discovered Xunlei/Thunder 5
(dispute of who actually discovered it 1st, Eric C or Xeph my cousin or myself)
SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
Speeds of over 130kbps on average!
this screen cap (below) shows 165kbps but i have peaked at 180kbps a couple of times.
pretty amazing stuff, almost gave my otaku computer geek cousin an angina.
(A-N-G-I-N-A keep ur mind out of the gutter)
note: in Malaysia, we don't get 4-8MB lines like our neighbouring countries. so anything over 100kbps is considered pretty good.

get the program at http://blog.scuforum.net/
remember to download the english language pack if like me, u can't read chinese.
Massive Kudos to HeHeHunter for the translation.

Translation?? you ask, well basically to my knowledge how Xunlei works is cos it's a chinese torrent client so the headers and such are in chinese so are unreadable by those 'fine folks' over at TM. Yadda yadda tech talk no one gives a shit abt as long as it works.

And boy does it work, but sadly/happily i have only really achieved breakneck speeds on JAV downloads.
Yes porn! Does nothing except reaffirm the fact that the computer really is just a PORN MACHINE.
Everything else it does is just the Value Added Services package.

omg.blog.scuforum.net is offline!

Looking at my glowing praise for Xunlei in the above post, imagine my shock when i found that scuforum is offline!

There is hope! (For now)

Ow... how do we remedy this?
The original hehehunter blog is down, damn.
Luckily after countless hours of hunting i found the file sharing site that hehehunter was sharing his programs.
So here it is


JAV

Speaking of downloading JAVs the best resource I know of is www.javtalk.com
Register and go through the forums to find the latest and greatest filth online.
Hey I love Jap porn, and collecting my it is borderline obsession. Some may call it erotic art but it is still smut. So dun come complaining to me if ur mom finds ur stash.

Tell me who your fave JAV actress is!
My current muse is Risa Kasumi!

Another site I like is www.sweatpig.com
Updated regularly, it's the only decent English language site covering the happenings in the JAV world.


JAVtalk is down... March 2008

Looks like JAVtalk is down. Apparently their server people up and left cos of financial difficulties or a fire consumed their servers. Lotsa stories flying around.
So looks like an alternative is sorely needed.

And here it is... Point your cursor to JAVjunkies
It's a little bit less structured than JAVtalk and doesn't tell you the format of the files you are downloading but it works.
Just remember to click Unlink Images to show all the covers along with file names.

Banana Boy is back! But not on JAVtalk?

Finally after over a month's worth of waiting, JAVtalk has been resurrected.
Jump for joy u say? I think not.
All previous posts and data from the olde forum has been wiped out! EVERYTHING. Ouch.
So now starts the slow rebuilding process...
But wait! How is it that one of the most prolific jav torrent posters has only seen fit to post only sporadically at best?
By now u should have realized that I am talking about Banana Boy, Bringer Of All That Is Jav.
Well turns out he started his own website/blog after being fed up with waiting for JAVtalk to get its act back together again and facing bandwidth overload at ScanLovers.
