    Weird BitTorrent problem...

    Okay so I'm not a newbie to BitTorrent, but this has me puzzled. I've found that I can only download ~30 KBPS in max traffic at one time. If I have multiple connections, they'll all add up to ~30. If I have one, it's at ~30. This can't be right. In this example, the bottom is a popular...

    USB Not Working!

    Another tale of a strange hardware problem that I can't seem to explain. Let's go back in time, first of all. I've had this computer, eh, a little under a year. A few months ago, I noticed that some of my USB ports didn't work (I have 5, one in front, but the one in front is unplugged on...

    Second hard drive problems.

    After a year of thrashing my C drive, I decided to reformat.

I was hoping that after reformatting the C...

    Best place for gaming news?

    I've been using GameSpot for years, but I'm tired of them. I hate the layout (which hasn't changed in years, and I'm NOT paying 5 jillion dollars a month for the shitty "Ice" layout), their reviews seem to be coming in later and later, and the ads and not-so-hidden Premium Account propoganda is...
