DeltaMac: I did mention in the 1st paragraph of the 1st post that the firmware was up-to-date. And limiting use of torrents isn't helpful. As stated, sometimes I need to have a torrent running, which may take hours or days, and I'd like to be able to look at websites and check my mail during...

Torrents are useful, so I'm not going to quit using them. It's quite common for me to be using that service and want to do other things on the net at the same time. So "shut it off when not using it" doesn't address when I do want to use it. It's not the ISP. Azureus itself gets plenty of up...

Well, I cut "Max simultaneous outbound connection attempts" from 24 to 12, and "Max outstanding outbound connections" from 2048 to 1024. Appears to be working much better now. (Of course, I wasn't actually downloading any new torrents...) I still had a "Firewalled" warning, so I tried...

I have used Azureus on this computer with this cable modem for over 2 years with no problem. Recently, I bought a new Mac Mini. I bought a router to hook them all up (Belkin G Wireless F5D7234-4 v4, firmware up-to-date). Everything works nicely. Except, now whenever I start up Azureus, web...

A while back, I somehow ran across one of the (I think) Unix log files that stored all URLs accessed by browsers. Safari crashed on me, requiring a force quit, with some pages I had left open for days. So of course, they're gone from the History (even though I snagged a copy of History...

No, 1st I check if it should be calling at all. That kills most of then. Only if I think it has any business on the net do I consider where it's going and the port. :) I don't look at it as paranoia. Just self-preservation.

You don't need to be an expert to make a useful decision. If it doesn't seem reasonable that the app should be calling *anywhere*, disallow it. (Why should a screensaver call anybody?) If it's not calling *somewhere* that seems reasonable, disallow it. (If you're mail server is in USA...

Perhaps this would be better in the geeky Unix forum, but this isn't necessarily about command line. A while back, I somehow ran across one of the (i think) Unix log files that stored all URLs accessed by browsers. Safari crashed on me, requiring a force quit, with some pages I had left open...

Pirates like it, of course, but it's useful for anybody. Many freeware apps ut there install things along with want you want. If you read the entire user agreement, it *might* mention them, but might not. When they attempt to phone home, Little Snitch snitches. And some apps don't even...

Well, I've noticed that it seems to happen almost exclusively (possibly only) when I have several apps open. Usually 10+ showing on DragThing, plus DragThing itself and Dashboard.

Is it possible to turn on ntp's server aspect under non-Server OS X? Or is there a freeware ntp server app? I'd like to have 1 Mac on my LAN receive network time and all others consult that one machine. From my ggogling, standard Unix ntp should function both as server & client, but it looks...

Well, the shop up the street sells exactly that card. I tried it. Still nothing in System Profiler or Network prefs. So, looks like $135 for a motherboard on eBay...

My ethernet port got fried in a storm. Now I want to put in a PCI replacement. I've tried 2 cards available to me, but they don't work. In fact, *nothing* shows up in System Profiler-> PCI Cards. Is this the normal behavior for an unsupprted card, or does it sound like there might be a...

Well, I never use option click or Hide Others, so I don't if there's any issue with those. At the least, DragThing is never hidden, so it is always available to be the active app after my current one is hidden. Which somewhat implies that DT may in fact be the issue. :) There are 2...

Sorry, that was a typo. I did in fact mean cmd-H.
