Arthmoor Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Heads up in case you haven't seen it Nexus had its database raided by hackers/skiddies who most likely have dumped the contents of the DB to their hard drives. Probably a good idea to change passwords there just in case. I think IP.Board/Invisionboard still stores passwords as MD5 hashes which are fairly easy to crack with today's skiddie tools.

Conner Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Lovely, so now i need to go dig up my logon credentials to Nexus yet again, but this time just so I can change them? :headbang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfly Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Is anyone else getting pop-up adds on Tesnexus at the moment?Or is it just the because the internet security on the computers that I'm using at the moment isn't up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Not me, but then I almost never bother to go there unless I'm following a link from here or from Dwip's or Samson's blogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hana Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The pop-up ads have been there a few weeks now. Just more of their irritating advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallen68 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It's called "pop up blocker" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Or it's called Firefox :PBetween that and adblock plus, it takes some serious doing on the part of advertisers to get me to see an ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wasn't there a separate thread about those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfly Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hey, has anyone noticed that the servers at nexus suddenly got a lot faster (well, two weeks ago anyway). Have they uncapped the free servers or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Odd thing to ask in a thread about them being hacked, but yes, awhile back they supposedly raised the download cap on the free servers to something like 300K/s instead of 150K/s. It's been a lot longer than 2 weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Odd thing to ask in a thread about them being hacked....Hmmm... maybe it was a friendly hacker for a change and he hacked TESN to make downloads go faster? Maybe he's a fed-up TESN user who's had enough of the downloads being so slow? :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfly Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm getting up to 450kb per second. :shrug:I probably didn't notice it until recently as I haven't been doing too much downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 PrettyflyWao that's fast. I never get that although my ADSL line could do it. Which server location do you usually take? I take the one in the U.K. (Maidenhead IIRC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'd love to be able to see 450K/s. My DSL peaks out at around 325K/s if I'm lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfly Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Normally Seattle or Dallas. The U.K. server won't send anything to me for some reason.Actually, while I was downloading the most recent version of All Natural this morning (which took a whole six minutes) I noticed that it said the free servers were capped at 500kb, not 300kb (maybe they recently increased it even further, though I was getting the same speeds in Sydney while I was downloading Fallout mods).Otherwise, I'm confused as to why I should be getting the fastest download speed. Australia's internet network is sub-par, and I would've though that the added distance probably wouldn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Got me, I usually use Seattle or Dallas depending on load. Using the UK server just wouldn't make sense for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I wish I could see speeds like that again too. One day we'll have DSL/cable/FiOS out here... :wistful sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The UK server is just the closest to me, and I still somehow naively believe that the nearer the server the quicker I get served. Of course it is not depending on distance. I think the UK one gets me around 150K/s, and sometimes less (like on weekends). I've never really tried any of the overseas ones... must do that just out of curiosity once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayle Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I miss FiOS. Makes me wanna move back to Harrisburg just to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 For what it's worth, Tommy, the distance of the server does make a difference, it's just not a hugely significant one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
