I recently past 3 weeks began downloading movies off of torrent sites. As soon as the file was completed downloading I stopped it from seeding. After downloading about 80 movies I started receiving emails from my ISP saying that they were contacted by the movie distributors ie.
Sony, Universal, etc. Each email listed the title of the movie in question and demanded that I remove the files and stop downloading or I will be disconnected. I have stopped downloading and removed the PSP sharing software Vuze from my computer but can they my ISP or the movie distributor see if I have actually deleted the movies off of my computer or personal shared network media drive? I understand how the ISP sees what I am doing but how did the movie distributor know I downloaded one of their movies?
Do they upload the torrent themselves and watch to see who downloads it? There are a lot of activities that use a lot of bandwidth, are all of them going to be disallowed? If so, I might as well kill myself now. Afterall, they are almost up my butt. Im very sorry for posting here but i am completely out of ideas!! I have a question, is it legal for a comcast internet tech to tell me i have to install something on my computer that in turn erased all my bookmarked pages that i use for reference for work?
Well, as soon as it was finished installing I imediatly opened google crome to start my work writing ebooks on political topics. To my dismay, ALL of my reference matirial I had spent months looking for and bookmarking was gone!! No bookmarks!! I called the service center, they sent out a tech guy to my place again. He told me that he was not sure why they make people install this software because people are unhappy about it usually.
He also told me that other people have had the same problem before and that there is nothing they can do about it. This is unacceptable to me!! It has ruined my focus and direction associated with my writing as I now have absolutely no references!! Please someone tell me this is illegal so i can put a stop to this kind of guided misfortune!! Thank you! Just wanted to thank you for this simple, clear and concise post on downloading!
It really helped me to understand this topic. I really appreciate it! I became instantly addicted with torrent downloading when i first found BitLord.
I constantly downloaded discographies and many movies and games. With all of this foolish downloading came the most unexpected consequence: a copyright notice. When you download via a torrent, your IP number appears in a list of uploaders and downloaders. This list shows up in the torrent program of everyone sharing the files with that torrent. The owner of the copyright or a proxy just has to download that torrent to see the IP numbers of all the people sharing that file.
They can determine which ISP you are using to share the file. They then send those IP numbers to their lawyers who get a court order to get the ISP to tell them who is downloading that file using that IP number.
Quite possibly, yes. On charter or any other ISP. Illegal is illegal, regardless of whether or not you get caught. Thank you for writing a tech blog that filled in some blanks re: why my ISP has a hard-on for uTorrent and NOT being completely full of s! Our proudest moment was watching Star Wars Episode I a few weeks before it was in the theaters. So what if the movie sucked? It saved everyone 10 bucks and it proved that if we wanted something, we could get it. And they did.
If machines could get purple hearts, that box has a couple and is quite sick with adware as I write. I thought the p2p nature of file sharing would obfuscate the origins and destination of each file. I further thought the hashing would make identification of the filename or its contents, source, destination, etc too difficult to crack for an interested 3rd party to look any further into.
Again…great blog — will add it to my shortlist of "Blogs that don't suck ," to be published around yrs end. Still the popup??? I think you're above that. Also — consider mentioning that you "consulted for" Microsoft. But the mark in Emacs is used for more than just defining the selected region, it lives on while you continue to edit and move around the buffer so it can also be a kind of bookmark. The history of marks is saved so you can pop previous marks back to the top of the stack to go back to somewhere you were some time ago.
Because of this dual purpose, the region between mark and point is not highlighted by default unless you select a region by clicking and dragging the mouse. The minor mode transient-mark-mode changes the behavior of the mark in two ways. First, it distinguishes between an active mark that has just been defined or reactivated, and an inactive mark.
When the mark is active, some commands that normally act on lines, words, buffers, etc. An inactive mark needs to be reactivated to operate on it, unless mark-even-if-inactive is set.
Secondly, transient-mark-mode also highlights the region when it is active, providing the same visual clue that you get in other programs.
This mode is turned on by default in latest versions of Emacs. In addition to seeing the highlighting, new Emacs users often expect editing commands to replace the region when it is active. This behavior can be obtained with delete-selection-mode , but see the following question also. The keybindings of Emacs predate modern GUIs, and the keys that were chosen by later GUIs for cut and copy were given important functions as extended keymaps in Emacs.
CUA mode attempts to let both bindings co-exist by defining C-x and C-c as kill-region and copy-region-as-kill when the region is active, and letting them have their normal Emacs bindings when the region is not active. Many people find this to be an acceptable compromise. CUA mode also defines a number of other keys C-v, Shift selection , and can be turned on from the Options menu.
The function wsend-sys-command can be used to simulate choosing commands from the system menu in the top left corner of the Window and a few other system wide functions. Emacs does not come with an uninstall program. No files are installed outside of the directories you find in the binary zip archive, so deleting those directories is sufficient to clean away the files. Emacs could have failed to run for a number of reasons.
The most common symptom is that, when Emacs is started, the cursor changes for a second but nothing happens. If this happens to you, it is quite likely that the distribution was unpacked incorrectly.
If it is still not working, send mail to the help-gnu-emacs gnu. There have been reports in the past that some virus scanners claim that the Emacs distribution has a virus. This is extremely unlikely if you have downloaded Emacs from the GNU FTP site or one of its mirrors and the GPG signature for it is valid and listed in the GNU keyring, unless perhaps it is a new release made in the last few days, in which case you should exercise more caution and report the problem.
Past problems seem to have been caused by virus checkers running into a buffer size limit when unpacking large tar. Anti-virus and firewall software can block Emacs from starting subprocesses and opening network connections. Most such products have an Advanced mode where they will prompt you rather than silently blocking. See Why is nothing happening when I enter shell commands?
The variable wuse-full-screen-buffer controls whether Emacs uses the window size or buffer size to determine the number of lines on screen. Normally the window size is correct, but when running Emacs over some telnet servers, the buffer size needs to be used. Emacs tries to guess the correct value at startup, but if it guesses wrong, you can customize that variable yourself.
Emacs assigns bindings assuming a three button mouse. On Windows, if a two button mouse is detected, a hack is enabled which lets you simulate the third button by pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously. You can check how many buttons Emacs thinks your mouse has with C-h v wnum-mouse-buttons. If you find yourself needing the mouse-3 bindings more often than mouse-2, you can swap the buttons with the following code in your init file:.
If you attempt to cut and paste text with NUL characters embedded in it, then the text will be truncated at the first NUL character. This is a limitation of the Windows clipboard, and does not affect killing and yanking from the kill-ring within Emacs.
You can try set-selection-coding-system , but generally such corruption is a thing of the past, as Emacs uses Unicode for the clipboard by default now. You can use the function set-message-beep to change the sound that Emacs uses for its beep. This affects both console and GUI frames. The doc string contains a list of the system sounds you can use. Former maintainer Andrew Innes wrote this explanation of what each field in the font string means and how Emacs treated them back in Since then, multilingual support and a redisplay overhaul to support variable width fonts have changed things slightly; more character sets are recognized and the old pseudo character sets are deprecated , and the resolution fields are used to calculate the difference between point and pixel sizes, but normally you should leave these at the system default.
The foundry field is also populated with an indication of whether the font is outline. ATM or raster. FON based when fonts are listed, which may let you differentiate between two fonts with the same name and different technologies. Starting with Emacs 23, the preferred font name format will be moving to the simpler and more flexible fontconfig format.
XLFD names will continue to be supported for backward compatibility. The command line options and frame-parameters for changing the default font in Emacs are documented in the manual. Fonts can also be used when defining faces, though family and size are generally specified individually there. In addition, Emacs on Windows reads the registry to find X Resources. This is also documented in the manual. Emacs will only use the italic and bold versions of a font automatically if it has the same width as the normal version.
Many fonts have italic and bold versions that are slightly wider. It will also only use real bold and italic fonts by default, where other applications may use synthesized variations that are derived from the normal font. To enable more italic and bold fonts to be displayed, you can enable synthesized fonts and manually set the font for italic, bold and bold-italic as follows:. The wenable-synthesized-fonts variable is obsolete starting from Emacs See How do I use bdf fonts with Emacs? For many languages, native truetype fonts are sufficient, and in Emacs 23 the need for BDF fonts will disappear for almost all languages.
At the time of writing, all supported characters are able to be displayed with appropriate truetype or opentype fonts. Recent versions of Emacs display a large range of characters out of the box, but if you are having problems with a particular character set which you know you have fonts for, you can try defining a new fontset with create-fontset-from-ascii-font or create-fontset-from-fontset-spec.
The GNU Unifont project contains glyphs for most of the Unicode codespace, and can be downloaded from ftp. You probably only need to do this on the non-Unicode versions of Windows 95, 98 and ME , and even then, various Windows and Internet Explorer updates have made third party software unnecessary in most cases.
If you are having trouble displaying text, try defining a fontset with the font for the languages that the third party software handles set to what that software expects which may not be an appropriate font for that language, but the third party software is intercepting it and using a different font behind the scenes.
See Non-latin display. Normally Emacs should initialize locale-coding-system appropriately based on your locale, which will let Emacs use font names in your local language successfully.
Up: Font menu [ Contents ][ Index ]. If you have set wuse-wfont-dialog to nil , you can add fonts to the font menu by changing wfixed-font-alist. For example:. For a discussion of this issue, take a look at this collection of email messages on the topic.
For existing files, Emacs scans the file to determine the line ending convention as part of the same scan it does to determine the file encoding. It does this to be safe, as no data loss will occur if the file is really binary and the Ctrl-M characters are significant.
The list can be manipulated with the functions add-untranslated-filesystem and remove-untranslated-filesystem. We can check disk usage by typing:. SFTP allows you to perform the type of basic file maintenance that is useful when working with file hierarchies. Notice how instead of giving the! This works to run any command available on our local machine and could have been used with the local df command earlier.
We can work around it with the following command:. The third column holds the ID of the group associated with name in the first column. This is what we are looking for. There is no command for manipulating local file permissions, but you can set the local umask, so that any files copied to the local system will have the appropriate permissions.
Now all regular files downloaded as long as the -p flag is not used will have permissions. SFTP allows you to create directories on both local and remote systems with lmkdir and mkdir respectively. These work as expected. These commands replicate the basic behavior of the shell versions. If you need to perform these actions on the local file system, remember that you can drop into a shell by issuing this command:. Or execute a single command on the local system by prefacing the command with!
When you are finished with your SFTP session, use exit or bye to close the connection. Although SFTP is a simple tool, it is very useful for administrating servers and transferring files between them.
While it is not appropriate for every situation, it is a flexible tool to have in your repertoire. LHammonds Thank you very much for this. That was very well thought out, and one of the very best approaches I have ever read regarding WordPress. Much more than what I could have answered. First, I put all my sites under a separate username and add that user to the www-data group. Next, I wrote two simple scripts that I use to change permissions before and after updates. Before an update I run this: Code:.
