iMacross4 will be offline until I can get back to Shaw in the next two days. Anything between these lines is me sharing my epic internet tragedy. ***************************************************** A MTS tech will be dropping by my place on Wednesday morning to fix the adsl modem for the 5th time, but I'm just going to let him fix the problem and then phone MTS to disconnect the internet. I think there is something seriously wrong with MTS equipment, so it should be fixed, but I am terribly dissatisfied with MTS. For 10 days, I spent more time than reasonable trying to figure this out and working nights at the same time. Fed up already. In Winnipeg, there is Shaw and then there is MTS for broadband internet. There is one other broadband, rainyday.ca, but they charge up front $2000+/year for 1/4 of bandwidth that Shaw would charge $120/month nitro internet speed including phone service; back to shaw. Shaw will cost me 3 times as much as MTS, but at least I will be able to stay connected for more than 30 minutes at a time. MTS has been providing horrible internet service, which had nothing to do with my router or filesharing; the MTS internet connection just keeps going horribly slow and then disconnects for 10-20 minutes at 30 minute to 1 1/2 hour intervals. I am sort of connected to the internet now, but no filesharing at all. But, even without any filsharing MTS internet disconnects every 20-30 minutes. So, I read in the Winnipeg Free Press newspaper this week about massive layoffs from MTS due to MTS customers switching to Shaw. Once MTS goes bankrupt, then there will be only Shaw cable and there goes the prices up again. ****************************************** I was thinking if a MW member would like a copy of anything on iMacross4, then you can mail me a dvd-r & case with a self addressed stamped envelope to mail back the dvd-r to yourself. PM for details.

imacross 4 offline for a bit. I am just so tired. I tried everything to get the router working with this modem and the internet connection woud stat up fast, slow down to 5 kb/s and then just die after 2 hours no matter what I did. So, then I connected the adsl modem straight to the laptop. The direct modem connection dies after 2 hours! My router is fine! The speed is great for 5-10 minutes and then it drops to 2 kb/s download and upload. ****** MTS! I spent 5 hours a day for the last 10 days trying to get this mts adsl modem to work! What a $@$@$@$#@$ rip off! So, it looks like I was better off with paying $60 / month with MTS TV & adsl, rather than adsl alone. Now, I have to phone, wait for MTS customer service and schedule a TV/adsl installation. Unbelievable!

Now we'll see how long I stay connected to the internet. Shaw was going to start charging me $120/month for just internet in January, so I had to switch over to MTS. I think I will buy a LinkSys router next week; this dlink di-524 has given me a lot a problems.

iMacross4 online I have tried 3 different modems from MTS in the last week. I upgraded the MTS adsl modem firmware. My di-524 dlink wireless router is now version 1.23; its speed seems to be pretty good. Double checked my network card settings. This is as good as it gets. Finally! Yesterday, I was disconnecting a lot from the internet and getting really slow speeds, so I phoned MTS and found that the wireless router was giving me all these problems. I set the router performance settings to default and got my speed back, but the router kept disconnecting from the internet. This morning, I looked on the internet to find out why the wireless router keeps disconnecting from the internet . I changed the wirless channel to 11 and so far no disconnecting yet. I also have the option to disable upnp and game mode settings or try flashing the router firmware to di-624 or wbr-1310. So far, so good.

iMacross4 offline due to defective adsl modem. That speed increase you got had nothing to do with me. This morning, I just spent 1 1/2 hours with an MTS tech to figure out that the only difference between the super slow 10 kb/s speed of today and the 70 kb/s speed from yesterday is the new adsl modem. Now I wait one minute for a web page to appear in internet explorer or firefox browser! Thursday a.m. is the earliest I can get this fixed by MTS. I wonder if I can get a partial refund? Otherwise the only speed increases you will see is if someone else with the complete macross file engages the Azureus settings for the built in bittorrent tracker. I'll post an update Thursday. Options: Shaw cable $120/month due to bandwidth cap MTS adsl $40 + 8 hours of waiting for custome service so far + 4 visits by MTS technicians to fix their installation mistakes + hassle

iMacross4 bandwidth capped by MTS isp on regular adsl modem. Today I switched from MTS Tv/adsl to just plain adsl so I can save $20 a month. But, MTS is specifically targeting Azureus bittorrent downloads/uploads on my regular adsl modem. I was getting 58 kb/s uploads and downloads with MTS tv/adsl modem and then I switched to just MTS adsl and there is a huge drop in download speed especially when I run Azureus! When I run Azureus, I wait 50 seconds - 1 minute when I open a webpage! I am going to have to create and upload new iMacross4 torrents onto an actual bittorrent server rather than using Azureus built in bittorrent server. If I do this I put myself and MW members at risk. Any suggestions?

iMacross4 back online

iMacross4 offline until at least Monday. Laptop winxp pro "notification.cll was not regisetered" requires complete backup and reinstalling of xp pro sp1 upgrade. I am just doing emails with my windows me desktop because I really don't want to format 2 computers. I will keep you posted with updates here. Otherwise, if anybody else has a complete copy downloaded to their hard drive. You can upload with Azureus with settings in iMacross FAQ to be a temporary iMacross server. boinger iMacross4 admin

Hello: I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Has anybody seen these blasters around? Maybe in USA Walmarts? ebay has the blasters at $ 40 + 40 shipping = $ 75 US ! Thanks! boinger

Hello: It's Dec.13/06 and I relisted for the last time 2006 on ebay. Click on weblink above. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for looking! boinger

I was just wondering how large the paper size needs to be for 1/60 scale? I have the regular colored version under Macross miscellaneous. boinger

Anyways, I found Macross Flashback 2012 on youtube. I have yet to find english subtitles for 2012 that work. boinger

That SDF-1 looks great! I wish Yamato would contact Kishimoto and get this sdf-1 into production instead of that small Wave sdf-1.

Is that a yukikaze toy? wowee

Currently on my ebay listings; Macross: yf-19 2nd edition vf-19a x 2 (paint defects on both) SDF-1 1/4000 resin model g-system zentraedi gnerl fighter 1/100 wonderfest exclusive Genesis climber mospeada: mini Cyclone / ride armour - all 3 red, green, blue Armored core 2: 01, 02, 03 Grendel comics and lots more

Macross 20th anniversary is 4 gb. My azureus software is slowly checking the bittorrent files. Only macross miscellaeous and miscellaneous macross video are currently working. I posted the vf-19a on ebay for what I paid for it and I am not keen on selling for less. Anyways, the rest of the iMacross files look like they will be available for tomorrow. My book auctions are just finishing now. Time for supper and then emails and packing stuff up.

iMacross4 UPDATES: Apr.05/07 1. Macross Miscellaneous video a. Macross 20th anniversary avi Currently, I am attempting to use my laptop for the imacross4 azureus bittorrent server software while the files remain on my networked computer desktop: Windows ME on desktop with imacross files on desktop problem and lack of external usb/firewire plug ins on laptop. Macross miscellaneous and miscellaneous macross video are currently seeding. I will fiddle around with the settings to see if I can get the macross files to upload more kb/s. I am depending on previous downloaders to stay online with their completed macross files to boost download speeds. Next year (March/April), I am thinking of upgrading to a new desktop with Windows vista, so that the imacross4 server and the all the imacross files can be on one stable computer with a large internal hard drive. *****I am on a strict bandwidth limit for this month with Shaw Cable, so if I go over I will either be disconected for a week or I will be charged $106 US for my monthly bill. My usual monthly isp bil is $49 US. So, don't ask too much of me for the next 2 -4 weeks. I am switching back to MTS on Dec. 23 (hopefully) because of MTS has no bandwidth restriction and TV is included for $35 US. That's all for now!

Yesterday, I updated my auction listings with comic books and computer parts. I am going to list up some more comic books and some odds and ends. Thank you!
