Newsgroups: Faster downloads

Torrents are great, but you know you wont be getting those awesome download speeds that the internet is capable of. 800 kb/s sound good???

Newsgroup download tutorials. They have a movie with some helpful search sites for material. Definitely worth looking into if you are even somewhat interested in awesome download speeds...

KnoppMyth Torrent



Systm did an episode on a MythBox. All you need is a 2.0ghz machine with 512 mb ram, as much storage as you think you need (80gb is sufficient), and one or two tv tuner cards and you're in shape for some HDTV picture in Picture tivo session whatever.

podcasts galore

The latest version of iTunes has support for Podcasts, the latest and greatest reasoning behind buying one of those $300+ purchases... So far the best podcasts I have found so far are:

• Diggnation
  
• TWIT
  
• Systm
  

...and there is a podcast no matter what your flavor of preference is over at Odeo.com

WRT54G Firmware and WDS

WDS- Wireless Distribution System

By default, the stock firmware on the WRT54G does not support a whole list of features that it is capable of...

... and despite Sveasoft charging for their supped up version of the firmware its out under GPL protection circulating. Apparently they have been kicking people off of their subscriptions if they find that you link out to one of the GPL download sites.

SQUID Proxy Server

A project for the Pike house.

Goals:

• Transparent Proxy (no configuration required on browser)


• A password for access (one generic password)


• Keyword filter lists (block out all the crap out there)

The network topology should prove interesting as well. I am going to spread wireless throughout the house. I will have to play with the setup, but it should work something like this: I will have the line running into the house, which will then run into a WRT54G. That one unit will run all http traffic (port 80) to the squid proxy server box. Then the box will be setup to intercept all http traffic, filter it, and cache results and forward pages to client browser. Not sure how to make http traffic go through squid without setting the box as a gateway.

SNMP Protocol Analyzers

So its come up often lately... The best way to go about monitoring a network is to have some sort of monitoring system in place to automate the process, thus effectively run a more efficient, cost effective, environment. I caught this SNMP protocol analyzer from Paessler. I must say, I love the visual that this company sends out. Not heard much about them, but their products seem both interesting and promising.
