It's factory overclocked. It's one of those Asus directcuii top series. Anyway there should be enough headroom to lower the max speed, I hope.

Anyone here using a NAS box for torrent downloads?

I'm trying to decide if I want to replace my server with a NAS box to save on electricity. I'm looking at the D-LINK one but the torrent interface seems a bit kludgy where you have to paste the url manually for torrents. Would have been nice if you could assign a folder and the NAS will periodically look at the folder and download any torrent links on it.
Any recommendations?

Internet Explorer Users Have Lower IQs Than Users Of Other Browsers, Survey Finds

[image]

Are users of Internet Explorer the dumbest on the Internet?

Findings from a survey conducted by Vancouver consulting firm AptiQuant suggest just that. The company gave IQ tests to over 100,000 people, found randomly through user searches and targeted advertising; the test-takers did not know they were being judged based on what browser they were using.

Though no significant differences were found across the IQs of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari users, the study did find that gsubjects using any version of Internet Explorer ranked significantly lower on average than others.h Ouch.

Hehe.

I remember I used IE for the longest time. I used to always hear that my friends were using Firefox and then one day I finally decided to check it out and I've basically never looked back.

Did use Netscape though back in the day. :P After Al Gore invented the internet, he recommended it to me.

It's only useful if you're running a 64-bit OS, otherwise the system doesn't see all but 3.5GB... :sweat:
