Here are some (non scientific) results: Devices tested: Consoles: Xbox 360 (w/ HD DVD drive), Xbox, Nintendo Wii Display devices: Sharp Aquos LC-... http://my.afterdawn.com/ketola/blog_entry.cfm/2083/afterdawn_token_downloads It should now be easier downloading files from AfterDawn.com, Filepedia.com and Download.fi. We've just implemented tokenized downloads, which quite effectively eliminates the need for referrer checking. Happy leeching!... http://my.afterdawn.com/ketola/blog_entry.cfm/1773/ Our download servers have been somewhat packed recently, so we've added another server to the AfterDawn.com download pool.

After the server was taken offline a database dump was taken fro... http://my.afterdawn.com/ketola/blog_entry.cfm/1552/ Yesterday the site had it's share of problems.

Luckily the lock code can be bypassed using a Master Security Code, which can be obtained using the phone'... http://my.afterdawn.com/ketola/blog_entry.cfm/1262/vsftpd_ssl_and_iptables Tweaked vsftpd+ssl to co-operate with iptables today. As it turns out, iptables' ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp cannot (obviously) track encrypted packages, so the connection tracking fails. Since I wanted to force SSL on the ftp server, I had to force t... http://my.afterdawn.com/ketola/blog_entry.cfm/214/feedback_email I've spent most of today replying to feedback sent via our feedback system.
