Interesting:
There is no extra charge for use of BitTorrent with Amazon S3. Data transfer via the BitTorrent protocol is metered at the same rate as client/server delivery. To be precise, whenever a downloading BitTorrent client requests a “piece” of an object from the…

You can get torrent only for objects that are less than 5 GB in size.

Edit 20210727:
- A lot of the links below have died due to link rot (sometimes even the domains have gone), but most of the WayBack machine links marked [Wayback] still work.
- The same stop [Wayback] stop
0x0000007Bcan happen when converting a physical machine to VMware (I will schedule a separate post about this):Windows XP Virtual Machine failing with stop 0x0000007B
Steps:
0x0000007B (usually because of SATA/AHCI/IDE or other MassStorage controller driver issues), then read [Wayback] Jon’s Project Blog » disk2vhd using [Wayback] UBCD for Windows to solve the issue as there is no BIOS screen in Hyper-V that allows you to switch from AHCI to SATA and back.Some links that helped me get at these steps:

In the the irregular series of ASUS RT-N66U and TomatoUSB posts:
Execute this script from the Tomato USB interface, or a ssh/telnet shell:
cat /dev/mtd0ro | grep bl_version
nvram get os_version
nvram get clkfreq
wl -i eth1 phy_tempsense | awk '{print $1/2+20;}'
wl -i eth2 phy_tempsense | awk '{print $1/2+20;}'
Based on those, I found a few very useful scripts:

Wow: Microsoft OneDrive for Business modifies files as it syncs | Myce.com.
For now Microsoft Cloud Storage is not the place for my data to be.
(Note: OneDrive used to be called SkyDrive)
The only cloud storage that worked for me without too much trouble is Copy.com. My referral there: https://copy.com?r=3NGul6.

In layman’s terms/pictures: xkcd: Heartbleed Explanation.
If you still don’t get it: anyone with any HTTPS connection to a once vulnerable system could copy data out of that system. There is no guarantee that data did not contain your identity (username, password, public key, credit card check-digits, etc) or server identity (private and public key).
Since often you cannot prove a system was using OpenSSL, there is no way to prove your data didn’t get copied.

RouterOS runs on many kinds of hardware. Of course on the MikroTik hardware itself (which always comes with a license), but also on x86 hardware, even virtualized systems.
In that respect, it looks a bit like pfSense, or Endian, but on steroids and closed source.
Here are some links focused on MikroTik on ESXi (which is great for experimental purposes):
