  1. Pwnage, it dont matter, defragging is defragging, I wont say its better, I dont think its suited for a desktop enviornment unless you have boxes running all the time. I have two that are one basically ALL the time so it works ok for them, Im not always on them and I dont have to worry about them. That is what I like about that. But on my main box, LOL NOOO, I dont want defrag popping on just because.....even late at night when im not on there, my downloads hit that box...

  2. yeah Chaos, found it just fooling around and kinda like it. sorta like Diskeeper's set it and forget it lite version...

  4. I was trying out utorrent and set it to dl a torrent (2mbit adsl). I noticed hours later it was crawling along at 5kB/s. so I closed utorrent and set the torrent to continue in azureus. It immideatly began running at approx 60k/sec. So I for won't be using utorrent and will revert to azureus. dunno why there was this clear difference but 1/10th speed is not good.

    its always settings, im sure you have not just taken Az right out of the box and used it, I never did, had to tweak that out as well. Have fun. I do.
