Site Speed Improved

Just wanted to let everyone know that we've tweaked the site configuration a bit to improve performance, especially for logged-in users. We've disabled live stats so we lose the ability internally to monitor popular pages and site traffic in real time directly. Publicly, the only thing we lose is the site stats tracked on the forum page showing how many people are currently using the site.

This should improve site speed for guests and dramatically improve site speed for logged in users. It should also eliminate the 'site overloaded' message showing during the day.

Duplicate Account Creation

As detailed in the forum guidelines, creating additional accounts is not permitted:

One Account Per Person - Only one account per person, please. Sometimes on forum sites, people create secondary accounts to flame other people or to post a second message to their own topic, making it seem like there is more interest or agreement with their point of view. If your account is blocked for abuse, you may not create another one. Accounts may not be shared.

uTorrent app not installing utorrent.exe

Submitted by cannibaljunkie on January 29, 2011 - 6:37pm

I just downloaded the newest version and can't get it to install correctly. When I try to run what is installed it says that utorrent.exe was not installed.

I have also just downloaded Clam (antivirus) but I don't think that's the problem since you have to scan manually.

Any ideas instead of having to go directly to the site? I have it blocked on my network.... :/

Thanks!

TrendMicro Rootkitbuster

Found this great little program, portable (doesn't need installing) but I was wondering with all the recent additions of utilities, can there be one that finds file streams?

P.S. Would any guru here know what a file stream actually is and can they be used to hide malicious content?
