Writer: ZeGXrO

Do you want to get your hand with the brand new Nokia N92 mobile phone or a brand new 60GB iPod MP3 player or maybe a brand new PlayStation 3 deliver directly to your door step for FREE?… WoHoOo… then you in luck… there is a program that people usually refer to as a “Freebies Programs”.

The purpose of this article is to explain more detail about this so call “Freebies Programs”… I know that most of you guys and girls out there wont believe about this kind of system… but wait… before you jump to conclusion please reconsider it… give it a try… if you success… you get your hand with all the brand new gifts available… and I can sure you will success with this program because it difference then any other “Freebies companies” available out there…

So what make it difference with other “Freebies companies” rivals?

Ok first of all… most of other “Freebies companies” out there have their own limitation… a list below shows the limitation that exists:

  1. Limited to certain country such as US/Canada and sometimes UK
  2. International user available but instead of receiving the product, they will pay the user the same amount as the product with Paypal
  3. Simply ask you to find more user without helping them
  4. Shipping the product will take more then 3 weeks
  5. Limited choice of product
  6. Limit to one product per house hold
  7. Lastly a high credit need to be collected for each free product
There are 2 issues that discourage people from joining or trying the system. Firstly the country limitation part where the Free gift is available for US and Canada user only… the reason of the limitation is because of the warranty issues, shipping issue and lastly is because of the sponsor usually from the US and Canada.

The second part is the international user issue, where they claim that international user can join in too but instead of receiving the product they paid international user with Paypal the same value of the chosen product. Some international user don’t have a problem with this but some do have a problem… and why this is a problem you may ask… well… this is because the Paypal issues.

Note: If you want to know more on the Paypal issues Click Here (the link will be updated later)...

Now I am going to explain what so special about THIS program compare to the above statement… I going to make it short and simple… below is the list of things to look at:

  1. This company open to any country (Worldwide delivery)
  2. They have a flexible gaining credit system
  3. No limit to how many product you want per house hold
  4. Excellent customer support
  5. Product reach to your door step not more then 3 weeks
  6. lastly they have the latest product available to be giving out
Remember that I said you can success with this program above… this is because of the flexible gaining credit system where you can buy a clix that will help you gain more credit faster and simple… how is this clix system works?... basically they advertise your referrer link to many site that they have affiliates too and the system only count every people that click at the advertise link… this tell us that only interested people will click on the advertise link and not just random person… there is also other ways to gain credit like referring to a friends, using the 3rd party offer, using a eBay template and many more ways available.

As a conclusion, based on the above point… this company is the best choice available for international user… so what are you waiting for, come on give it a try… Click here to go directly to their website and if you still have a doubt about joining in, I recommend that you read their testimonials available from their website… that all and I hope you give it a try...

Again... Click here to join the program...

The P2P Applications with D-Link 500G Router...

Writer: ZeGXrO

Many users now days know that Router is not meant to be used for P2P purposes, but a lot still don’t know about it… this is because bla bla bla…. Done…


MuHahAHAhah… (EVIL laugh with a background of a flaming firewall)…

Now what just happen... where is the detail about Router and P2P and so on?… well… I cut all of it because some might say “OK… I get it… lets just stop the crap about explaining all of the detail and tell me the program name already…” so there… that explain why… :P…

Below is the list of P2P applications that work best with D-Link 500G and I can sure you that it’s “really work” because I tested the applications one-by-one myself (Trust me I have a massive collection of P2P applications available in my HDD)

BitTorrent
  1. Bitlord v1.1
  2. Bittornado v0.3.7
  3. ABC v3.0.1b or v3.1
  4. Bitcomet v0.57

Note: All of the BitTorrent applications will work well IF your port is been forwarded properly, there is NO easy way around other then Port Forwarding and please don’t miss this part cause its one of the MUST DO LIST and don’t forget to grant access any BitTorrent client or any P2P from your FIREWALL…

Other Network (Fast track, Gnutella and so on)

  1. IML peanut 2 (A Multi-Network client but be careful cause it contain an spyware… but easily deleted with any Anti-Spyware application… recommended using Spybot S&D)
  2. Limewire Basic v4.12.6 or PRO v4.12.6
Ok now when you look at the list above... most of the applications is kind of outdated… well you right… somehow D-Link 500G Router work best with an outdated applications… my guess is that this is because the router is kind of outdated too… hehehe… so “outdated router work best with outdated application”…

Some say that try to update the router firmware will help overcome the problems… yup that might work but sometimes it wont… anyway this router is an outdated router… even D-Link company it self didn’t bother build up the firmware from the beginning... cause I been searching for a new firmware since I first bought the router (that was 3 or 4 years a go) and fail to find any… you can try to search for an “modify firmware”... but I not sure there any modify firmware available for D-Link 500G. If you find any… please be caution and make sure you have read other opinion and review about the “modify firmware” carefully… because you might end up buying a new router because of the firmware…

Therefore, as a conclusion, D-Link 500G will only work best with an outdated application and for BitTorrent client, a proper Port Forwarded is needed to ensure that you get a better download speed. Lastly before I close up the article… there is an setting that might help out a bit for any BitTorrent Client that is:
  1. D-Link 500G will disconnect often if the BitTorrent client use the DHT support… so its be wise to disable any DHT support
  2. Disable NAT/Firewall configuration & Disable UPnP Port Mapping might help cause you don’t need it anymore since you already done the configuration from your router
Note: This article can also help out with other router… it just a matter of trying and testing and the P2P applications list will be updated as soon as the author found any new application available.
