What is a torrent tracker?

A BitTorrent tracker is a server that assists in the communication between peers using the BitTorrent protocol. It is also, in the absence of extensions to the original protocol, the only major critical point, as clients are required to communicate with the tracker to initiate downloads. Clients that have already begun downloading also communicate with the tracker periodically to negotiate with newer peers and provide statistics; however, after the initial reception of peer data, peer communication can continue without a tracker.

What is the standard Mbps for dial up?

DSL speeds vary, depending on the type and condition of the medium. If your house is serviced by fiber optics, then the speed is mostly dependent on how much money you would like to spend, since mostly all speeds are attainable. If your house is serviced by copper, then the most important parameters are the length of the loop from the central office and the amount of bridgetap on the phone line.

Without getting too technical, then, the standard speeds are 1.5 Mbps downstream and 384 kbps upstream. I work as a technician for the largest DSL provider (take a guess who) and these are the speeds that we install 9 times out of 10.

As fiber optics are replacing copper, and the price of packages fall, higher speeds will become the norm by 2008/2010. As an educated guess, the new standard speeds will quickly become between 6 Mbps and 12 Mbps downstream, with upstream speeds about 1/4 of that.

Cheers!

Which companies offer high speed DSL internet service?

Why should you not put a magnet near a TV or computer?

Magnets can only harm televisions with a display tube in them. This is because tube televisions use an electron beam to "paint" the image on the backside of the screen. This electron beam excites phosphors which give of light. There are three different types of phosphors, one each for red, green, and blue.

When a magnet is placed too close to a tube television, the electron beam will be bent and cause the image to distort, typically by changing the colors on the screen. If the magnet is left close to the television for too long, it will magnetize the metal within the tube and the distortions will be present even if the magnet is removed.

Modern flat panel televisions, such as plasma and LCD types, don't suffer from this problem.

In the case of computers, the magnet may change the data stored on the hard drive, which uses extremely small magnets to read and write data to a spinning metal disc. If the magnet changes the data stored on the disc, there's no way to recover it.

What is a torjan horse virus?

A Trojan Horse virus is a piece of software that infects a users system and either broadcasts private information out onto the internet or lets hackers enter the system. miranda802001 Trojan horse virus, or simply trojan, is a piece of software which appears to perform a certain action but in fact performs another such as a computer virus. Contrary to popular belief, this action, usually encoded in a hidden payload, may or may not be actually malicious, but Trojan horses are notorious today for their use in the installation of backdoor programs. Simply put, a Trojan horse is not a computer virus. Unlike such malware, it does not propagate by self-replication but relies heavily on the exploitation of an end-user. It is instead a categorical attribute which can encompass many different forms of codes. Therefore, a computer worm or virus may be a Trojan horse. The term is derived from the classical story of the Trojan Horse. In the field of computer architecture, 'Trojan Horse' can also refer to security loopholes that allow kernel code to access anything for which it is not authorized. ernesto diplo vision
