How good is my Download and Upload Speed?
You can test your download & upload speeds (and ping speed) at a site called Speedtest. I use it about once a month just to check my broadband is giving me the service I'm paying for.
See the related link for the web-site.

Is it possible and or likely someone would be sued for using BitTorrent?
It is possible but its not likely. Anybody who connects to a torrent exposes his/her IP address and can be traced back. If somebody wants to catch and prosecute it can be done.
However you may start receiving classifieds & ads/offer depending upom ypur IP address.Most of the adult websites use this method to approach you.
If you are having connection problems with your WinMX how can you fix it?
Officially speaking, WinMX is defunct. However, you can make it work if you go to the WinMXWorld site and download their WinMX community patch. The original website was seized by the RIAA or whoever, so the original cache hosts no longer exist. The patch forces WinMX to use a new peer cache, allowing it once again to find peers to connect to.
However, since the WinMX protocol data has been reverse engineered, there are people deliberately disrupting WinMX much of the time. They found a vulnerability that lets them flood your search results with nearly EVERY file on WinMX, making it unusable to find the files you want to download.
Yes, you have to pay for songs on itunes to put them on your ipod. But, if you scroll to the bottom of the itunes homepage, there will be a section titled something like "free on itunes" and you can click on that to see what they have for free. There is another way to put songs on your ipod, it's called Limewire, and I'm pretty sure that it's illegal. I'd just stick to itunes.
i have checked the website (limewire.com) and it says it's completely legal. frostwire.com is another option although i have not checked it yet.
Interesting and very difficult to put into x amount of letters.
Can you get caught using winrar after the 40 day trial?
WinRAR doesn't really expire. It's more like you get WinRAR with no limitations for 40 days. After 40 days you have to deal with a nag screen each time you use WinRAR and the only way to remove the nag screen is to buy the product.
As long as your willing to put up with the nag screen after 40 days, you can use WinRAR for free as long as you like. You won't go to jail or anything, you just pay by dealing with a nag screen.

Is sendspace.com a safe site to download from?
i wouldn't use it on my main computer because it is questionable. but it is trusted by many people and its main purpose is to share large files. i have had friends use it problem free but it depends on the upload, who knows what they did to the file.
to prevent problems try scanning the file with anti virus software before opening it.
How do you access news websites?
There are plenty of news websites and blogs that fill the internet with interesting content. Accessing them is easy if you know their URL. Most if not all newspapers and television news shows have a web presence.
# Open your web browser. use what ever your prefer, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc. #* CNN's url: http://www.cnn.com/ #* BBC's url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ #* Washington Post's URL: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ # Type in your url.Near the top center of the browser window there is a text input bar. It might already have a URL in it like google.com, msn.com, or apple.com. # Press enter. or click on the arrow at the end of the text box to load the page. # Browse. The main page will list the latest headlines just like the front page of a news paper. Most news sites have categories or a search bar to find other things you are interested in.
Talk to people to find their favorite news source. Look for something reliable and honest.
What is a good example of pier to pier network?
There are many application which help peer to peer networking. For eg: Ares, Warez, Utorrent. In peer to peer networking a file or a piece of the file is read from a individual's computer and it is downloaded at another's computer who has requested for that piece of information. The actual data is not shared or stored on the network.
Which gives better security workgroup sharing or homegroup sharing?
A workgroup has more security. A homegroup provides less security than a workgroup because any user of any computer in the homegroup can access homegroup resources.
Yes- The piratebay site or ads on it's home page plays host to a piece of software called "antivirus 2010" or "anto virus XP 2010" it selfloads on your computer and starts to throw up bogus security warnings, it also opens links to drug sites and adult sites- it's main purpose is to get you to buy a "full version" of itself. Do not do this, instead remove it...Purchasing it will lead to the theft of your credit card info. This spyware will also disconnect icons and prevent you from opening your browser or other software. You need not download or start any torrents for it to download itself.
Got infected at The Pirate Bay yesterday (03/06/2010) with XP Antivirus 2010. I didn't click a thing. Even with an updated copy of Avast running as well as Spybot Seek and Destroy running, I was still infected.
Removal:
Hopefully you have Spybot Search and Destroy. If not download it on a friends computer to a USB flash/ thumb drive or CD.
Immediately reboot into in safe mode. Reboot and press F8 during the reboot. Windows will give you a menu of options. Choose safe mode.
Do a search for av.exe. It will find av.exe and also a prefetch version.
Open task manager. (CTRL-ALT - DELETE)
End Task the AV.exe
Go to your search results and right click on av.exe. Immediately delete AV.exe and the prefetch version of the file as well. If it says unable to delete it, go back to task manager and make sure you have clicked on av.exe and then clicked end process and then again go immediately to the window with your search results and delete the av.exe file.
Go into your C drive, Programs, Spybot Search and Destroy folder. In order to get around the problem of not being able to launch executables (.exe files) change the .exe to .com. (right click on SpybotSD.exe and choose rename, rename the file SpybotSD.com) The double click the file to Run Spybot Search and Destroy. Run the scan and Fix the problems it finds.
Run Ccleaner to clean out all the accumulated crap.
Problem fixed. Reboot the machine and run a full virus scan on through mode, just to be sure there are no other issues remaining.
