Java String Calculate MD5 2008-05-29 17:26:16
Here is a quicky one. I was surprised to see that when i needed a quick way to calculate the MD5 hash of a string it was not in the java.lang.String

rtorrent won’t seed 2008-05-19 07:50:45
Just a quickie here. I installed rtorrent on my local network on a Debian machine. I would enter a torrent, it would start downloading fine but it wouldn't upload! Port forwarding on the router is not enough. To be exact it is enough but the port protocol should be UDP instead of TCP. That's the [...]
