Topic: 24/7 Download PC and HTPC

Anyone po using smart bro for download?
natuwa kasi ako kasi the download speed increased by 50%
i don't know if it's because of smart bro improvements or
it's because of the torrent source

Simple guide lang.  Divide mo yung internet speed mo (mbps) by 8.  Yung resulting quotient should be the max DL speed in (kB/sec or mB/sec).   Kung hindi ka umaabot sa number na yon, either your ISP is slow, or the torrent is slow or both.   Kung lumagpas ka don, then your ISP is not telling you that your line has been upgraded - but dont complain.

If my math is accurate (using your formula bro), then my dl speed increased by 100%
definitely no reason to complain but to rejoice

For my 24x7 PC, I have an old desktop running ClarkConnect v4.3. It acts as both broadband gateway and torrent client (Torrentflux). It's basically a P4-2Ghz with an Intel board, 512MB DDR, 500GB HDD, and two NICs. All the wireless "routers" I've tried so far (D-Link, Linksys and TP-Link) are either unreliable (requires a reboot every few days) or lacks the features I want in a broadband router (ie. IPS/IDS, bandwidth control, advanced firewall configs, VPN, Windows file sharing, web and FTP server, etc.)

The only thing the wireless routers are good at are doing switching and wireless AP roles. I currently have two TP-Link wireless routers working as such. The D-Link wireless router (DI-624+) is hopeless, as even the wireless portion of it keeps shutting down for no apparent reason. It's been replaced 3x and already running the latest firmware... pure CP\@p...

I will eventually add more HDD capacity to this in the future so that I can stream videos directly from it. With the current setup, I have to regularly move downloaded files to my main PC or HTPC before the 500GB clogs up.
