And you wonder why people moan why downloads sometimes aren't at their top speed on bittorrent when people are capping it at 1 or 2 KB/sec. Sure cap it a little but to 1 or 2 KB/sec on broadband....ffs

No even better. By using this combined with my 1337 h4x0r sk1llz I have "compiled" this program which you simply insert into the startup on the enemy's computer. Watch him sit there with the "wtf" look on his face until he formats, then do it again. MUHUWAHAHAHA

I can see that pissing me off if people around here learn how to do that. Is there a way to shut that off?

Remove shutdown.exe from your system folder, and put it somewhere else (so you can still run shutdown if needed) might do.

Don't they realize that you can limit Bittorrent? Friggin dammit... use ABC or Shadow's Experimental build.

I use Bittorrent all the time but I limit my bandwidth usage not to mention have it auto-shutdown after a certain amount of time after the download is finished.

If not, just bitchslap them whenever you need to use the intarweb.

Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]

No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without warning
-d [ U][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)

Just remember to do it remotely, you will need a matching account on the perp's PC OR if you're on a network with a DC promote yourself to domain admin...

Using 127.0.0.1 on the machine locally calling from startup folder works as well. To remove, the user will have to start in safe mode and delete batch file! Otherwise their pc just gets stuck in an endless loop of rebooting. People have actually reformatted because of this! :evil:

There are other tricks as well, such as limiting the system max ram to 128 (or 64MB if you really want to be nasty!) in the BOOT.INI file. Use MSCONFIG for easy access. People think their ram is bad and buy new ram. If they have decent ram ask them for their old stuff! :evil:

If you're tired of messing around, browse to their C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder and right click it and change their permissions so NOTHING has permission. The system will die a slow death as NOTHING has access to those files. This works only when the root drive is NTFS which it SHOULD ALWAYS BE!

I've shared people's desktop folder and will copy a TON of tiny files (we're on a 1000MB network here) to that folder while they're on the phone, etc. They freak out when they see their desktop go from a few icons to a few hundred. Then I delete the files I just copied and they all disappear. They ususally wind up getting up and going out for a smoke or piss break, etc.

Then there's DameWare. :D

Cheers!

I'd limit his bandwidth too. You have to have the tools though. I have a linux computer here acting as router. I never had to use it because I have a TON of bandwidth, but if my friend/roommate abused it, I could limit him to a modem speed. Haha.
