I am building a Core 2 Duo system in the next week but had one question. Is it worth it to waste 90 bucks on a XP Home Edition OEM disc when I can just go out and download a torrent. I really don't feel like spending this money, which I can use towards Vista or other parts.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been wanting to purchase a smart phone or a pda, so I may review, answer emails and check internet sites while I am out of my home office. I have been told that pda's are slow. My current carrier is Cingular, and I do like the Treo 650 and don't mind paying $350 but the monthly charges are horrendous $45 for an unlimited data connect this is beyond your monthly voice charge. I am looking for alternative and I am willing to change carrier but don't know who to go with for less expensive charges. With technology where its at, I thought I'd be able to be constantly on, a la Dick Tracy through my watch.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhile reading through a thread i read a reference to torrent sites in relation to free software etc. Also on the same thread i read a reference to them being dangerous(viruses etc) im wondering what the dangers are and would i be doing somthing illegal if i was to download and use material from a torrent site(s) i googled and found many sites but no information as to whether its illegal or safe to use such sites/material. I sincerly appologise if im out of line but my thirst for learning begs me to ask this question.

However, i'm not sure if my computer is OEM or not, so if I downloaded OEM version, would this mess up my computer even more? Or shall i just download Windows XP SP2?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a folder created on my desktop that I had used to store bittorrent files. Just the torrent files themselves, not the actual file. I have no need for this folder anymore, but I'm not allowed to delete it. Whenever I try I get an error deleting file message. Under the folders properties it says there are zero bytes in the folder, although there are two hidden files inside the folder. Both files basically dont exist. They're both 0KB. The file names are CAJP5ZM6. and CA6R4JV0. I've tried booting into safe mode, that didnt work. I've tried closing out explorer.exe and trying to delete through the msdos window, didnt work. I've tried the program MoveOnBoot. Didnt work. So basically I've tried everything I could pull up a search on. There has to be a way to get rid of this folder and files, but how do you delete what is essentially already deleted? I've also tried the program dellater. Basically the same as moveonboot. Neither worked. The folder and the 2 files themselves are for some reason read-only files. When I try to change that attribute of course I get that cannot find file error message. I'm stuck, theres no file left. ZERO KB. Just two hidden icons basically. Windows doesnt notice that they're just garbage.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI posted this here because I assume it has more to do with my actual computer setup than anything else, but I apologize if I am mistaken.I am currently running WinXP SP2.I have this problem in that quite often when running my bittorrent client (Azureus), I just lose connection with my router and I cannot regain connection uintil I reboot the router...even rebooting the comuter doesn't seem to do the trick. This happens with certain trackers more than others, but only with bittorrent, and not even at extreme upload or download speeds. I can be uploading at 20kb/s and downloading at even less and lose it, when at other times I can be uploading files to web host at 200kb/s without problems.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with Windows.Download speeds are really slow.For example, i download @ 30KB/s from rapidshare! Thats really slow!And i have run a lot of tests and my computer is NOT infected. I have no programs using my bandwidth,when im not downloading anything, Windows says there are no connections open and there are no transfers.Now, i do get to download at full speed using Orbit but downloading without it takes ages.If i have to update a program, it takes ages
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded a torrent file to my desktop. I immediately noticed the file did not look like it was supposed to, and the file is 0 bytes in size. I tried to delete the file, but I get an error message (Cannot Delete File: Cannot read from the source file or disc). If I try to rename the file, it stays highlighted and the error message will not go away. I have to reboot to get the error message off of my desktop. When I click on properties, I'm told the type of file is: "File", and the size, and size on disc is 0 bytes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a genuine Windows XP Pro license. However I have an ancient disk, and every time I install it after a major upgrade, it takes FOREVER and leaves me wide open to security risks during the live updates etc. Is there a trusted SP3 updated DVD Windows torrent with bells and whistles like winzip, codecs, updated chipset drivers and all of the other free utls everyone uses preinstalled installed? I know there are 100's around, but figure 95% of them are trojan tastic. I went to Microsoft.com and frankly, something inside me died when I went looking for anything resembling an updated version of Windows I can download, mount and use with my key.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use P2P and my machine runs overnight, 24 X 7. I have also noticed a sizeable jump in my electricity bills and then that's obvious. I was planning to cut down the power consumption[ @ nights] by keeping my XP either on 'standby' or 'hibernate' mode. Question is , will my P2P[emule or torrent] fall off with either of these two getting activated? Basically my ideal situation would be power consumption + P2P running in the backgrd.
