Almost all internet traffic in china is national (because censorship n stuff), i don't think the peering contracts of Chinese internet routers is aimed at providing good international speeds.

They always ridiculously limit download speeds so it takes forever for anything to happen
For example, downloading some touchpad drivers from ASUS, its 38MB and they're limiting me to 24kbps, so a download that would literally take me about 10 seconds now takes almost 30 minutes

From my experience, Dell are especially great at doing this
I have had no issues with the asus site , get high speeds of about ober 40 mbit.
Only ever site i know of that had slow speeds was creative.
Realtek is fucking garbage when it comes to that
why don't driver websites offer torrents alongside their downloads?

Because torrents are [i]evil[/i]. Hollywood said so, and they never lie, do they?

Not even close.
Also on the asus site you can choose between europe etc for where to download from.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;43683476]isnt this actually because most of them are hosted in china?[/QUOTE]
In the country it's fast, if you're accessing it from half way around the world it's going to be shit. It's not South Korea tier. Remember that China is big and most rural places don't have Internet, landlines are more frequent and cellular access is usually avaliable.

Well their website is designed for Netscape Navigator so....
just Google the filename and find a mirror...

I was at a meeting and one guy brought in this absolutely disgusting machine. It had to of been in the trash. It was an early 00's home internet appliance that someone had hacked to run FreeBSD.

its a bit late but
why would you download touchpad drivers off asus when you can get them off the synaptic website
arent they the same thing
My computer just had a brain fart. The back gesture on the touchpad would type a c and the charms menu gesture would type a d. The windows button didn't work and the app switching gesture would do a CTRL+Z command :v:

Funnily enough, they didn't even work, and neither did the ones from the synaptics website so I'm stuck with no multitouch I guess

My lightpack arrived today (I backed it on kickstarter god knows how long ago) and it's very awesome.
Combined with Beat Hazzard however, it's lethal.

Bought a USB 3.0 Memory stick for Uni, 186MB/s Read. Its faster than my hard disk.

It's flash memory, of course it is.
So, I'm thinking about getting new identical monitors, found this one:
[url]http://us.hardware.info/productinfo/180143/aoc-i2269vwm#tab:overview[/url]
Would this one be a good choice? Average price is 156 euros (213,38 USD) on the Dutch hardware.info webpage, and has a lot of features, including a 75mm VESA mount plate, 2x HDMI and DP.
Would this be a good call? I'm not very good color-wise and all that.
My school doesn't block Facepunch, or 4chan, but they block spotify. Wow.

Probably noticed a large chunk of bandwidth being used by Spotify so they blocked it. I'm willing to bet Netflix is also blocked for the same reason. Not totally out of line.

According to them, they dont have any control of what is blocked because its done through an outside company (IPrism).

Wouldn't shock me either. My workplace has a relatively barebones IT staff but they are mostly there for hardware stuff. Actual administration and configuration of the network is done through Sovereign Systems. Which is usually fine, except they don't exactly know our needs so shit gets fucked up all the time. And the people that do talk to them aren't very good at relaying that to them apparently. They also configured our firewall to block LogMeIn 123 (which they use for remote support). GG guys.
Okay [B]FUCK AVAST[/B]
I could ignore the scare tactic advertising, I didn't mind the protection, I hated your "Want to run a false-positive? Disable the scanner" system
