A complete description on how to do this is to be found on my website. www.tempusfugit.ca

Torrent and Bandwidth Hogs
Why would an ISP offer accounts with 95G of bandwidth per month if they didn't have the network infrastructure to support 3 to 4GBytes of traffic per day?
To say that ISPs would rather the users of torrents go away and that this is detrimental to the other users of the network does not make sense.
Copyright infringement and DRM is another issue and will be pursued.

Deleting pages from Google Cache
This is a new one for me! Always willing to try something new.
Question is: How long do the pages take to actually disappear from the listings?
I must admit that I hadn't added the profile for the blog to Google's Webmaster Tools (just the website)
If this works, it will be an interesting tool.
With respect to the blogger.com blog - a page that no longer exists returns what is presumed to be a "custom 404" page. It this is not the case then the removal may not work.

iPlayer using a proxy
As an experiment this morning I thought that I would try connecting to the BBC not using a VPN.
It still works. It took about a minute to find an exitnode in the UK but the play-back is perfect. If I wanted to download the program it would have been even quicker.

Intranet
My Intranet is no longer active
My intranet (formerly the TempusFugit Intranet) is a local server on which I store all of the software that I own and have downloaded.
It is also where I store all the source code and drivers for the projects that I am working on and equipment that I own.
If there is a file or program that you are looking for it may be available for download.
In addition to the intranet server I have developed a "TeraByte Storage Network". It is this network that forms the storage for my Home Media Centre. This network has never been connected to the Internet and is not accessible from the outside world. Under some circumstances I have opened up my internal, intranet, and forwarded some of its contents to the Internet. In these circumstances the contents have been protected by password control and required a visitor to enter a User ID.
