there is instructions to use internodes usenet.

not sure what the url is for adams usenet server

[Dohmar]

I massively wish someone would teach me how to use usenet. The vast majority of my 40Gb 'internal' data on Adam does not get used.

hrm its not hard

usenet was the first exposure to the tcp/ipv4 internet.... back before mosaic was even invented (ala the internet had no www)...

its pretty simple, you download a news client like eudora or something similar, log onto the server and look in all the categories. best stuff is under alt.binaries but theres really a group for everything

at worst you'll need a base64 or uuencoder/decoder to get the binaries converted from 7bit to 8bit format but its very easy to pick up

a lot of isp's stopped carrying decent usenet feeds and only now is it starting to get popular again

(usenet is an evolution of fidonet for those old enough to remember bbs portals)

My Usenet tools of choice...

Newsleecher

QuickPar

WinRAR

+ A couple of websites.. nzbrus etc...

[gtrkiet]

mini nova + azerus ftw LOLLL torrent downloads!

[Cubes]

Torrents are slow in comparison to usenet.

If at all possible I prefer to use usenet as it 'instantly' downloads at the max speed my connection can support.

Unlike torrents.

Luke.. Get some damn silicon on them.

Mine were breaking down at 12psi ish. Silicon and then they haven't broke down and i've ran up to 22psi.

[heslo]

[Luke_ENR34]

Good luck with it buddy, should be pretty simple, just make sure you leave enough time for them to dry

MIght have a look at my coilpacks when i get my car back which is hopefully this week i hope..god i hope lol

Luke,

I used that Ultra Grey Loctite stuff. I covered the base and top section of the coil pack ensuring I squeezed silicon in between the coil pack and its mounting ring bit if that makes sense.

I run copper plugs so have the coils out every 20-30k. So far so good the silicon is sticking and not peeling off etc.

make sure you give them a little wipe with metho or something so the silicon sticks.

Its been a good 1.5yrs and they are still going strong.
