Some of you may not know this, others may already knew it, however, because

of Sod rules which do no not allow indirect crack links, and because CrackDB

is a very good resource for cracks, i will show how to post links that lead

to a direct download from CrackDB.

The CrackDB server sends the archive of a crack as an attachment to the respond

for an HTTP request made by your browser, this means you (and your browser)

will never know the real location of the file, because of this you can't post a direct

link to the crack in your topic.

Using the Referer variable we can overcome this problem, but what referer to

use? if you used the domain name http://www.crackdb.com/

you will get nothing but a useless image file.

The correct refere is shown on your browser address bar. For example, if you

want the crack for IsoBuster Pro v1.6 you just type the name in the search box

and press Enter, the next page displays a list of items that match or nearly

match your search keywords, click on IsoBuster Pro v1.6 from the list and

you are now in the download page, the hyperlink named "Download" is the

link that initiates the request to the server to download the file, which looks

like this:

http://www.crackdb.com/x.php?id=12356

The referer is now displayed on your browser address bar, which looks like this:

http://www.crackdb.com/get.php?id=12356

Now, you use both links to refer to a direct crack download from CrackDB, like this

Fix:

http://www.crackdb.com/x.php?id=12356

Use this referer:

http://www.crackdb.com/get.php?id=12356

Any member now can copy & paste the links into his/her download manager and

start downloading immediatley.

I hope you find something usefull here. Thanx for reading this.

Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.

Here's what you do:

In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.

Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:

browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true

network.http.max-connections – 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4

network.http.pipelining – true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100

network.http.proxy.pipelining – true

network.http.request.timeout – 300

One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!
