µTorrent (2.0.2) – Freeware P2P Review

Con’s

- Sometimes good Torrents are really really hard to find

- Sometimes it can take hours, day, weeks to download a file/files. All will depend on your connection and the souring of the torrent you are using.

- Not very effective when downloading very small files such as 1 Mp3

- There are still some major virus problems

- Sometimes Torrents may get corrupted for no reason at all

- Depending on your Internet connection. You can use all your bandwidth for the whole house or business network without evening knowing it.

- Some options require you to be Computer/Internet Savvy

Pro’s

- Free

- Simple to use

- Files are pretty darn safe. Provided you know what files types you are looking for. (And stick to Torrents with positive feedback/comments)

- Way better then competition

- Very slick/clean interface

- Very light on resources (Both Ram and CPU)

- Provided you use a good torrent site, you can get great sourcing.

- Very decent download speeds

- Very easy to change ports on the fly

- Can download any type of files you could ever want.

- Can download multiple files at a time

- Can download huge files of several 100 gigs with ease.

- Has bandwidth and sourcing encryption

—————————————————————

Overall Score 4 out of 5 – Provided you are using a good torrent source like ISOHUNT. You should be able to find pretty much anything you could ever want. But be very careful TORRENTS can have some very nasty virus hidden inside them. So please use the Torrent Positive/Negative comment rule.  So if there is no feedback or negative feedback posted for that torrent. Then what ever you do don’t download said torrent. If you decide to download anyways you would be asking for a virus. On the other hand if there are a bunch of positive comments (Green Comments/Score). Then you should be good, but I tend to read the comments even if there are a lot of positive comments. Just to air on the safe side.

NPD Online Research Panel – Survey Site Review (June 2010)

Name: NPD Online Research Panel

Link: http://www.npdor.com/default.asp

Who is eligible: Canada and US

Type of Award or payment: Cash and or Prizes

Points or Cash normally earned per survey:  $0.00

Sign-up time: Fairly Short

How many Surveys to expect per week: 1 – 3

How Much Have I Collected: Been with them for 7 years and earned around $150.00

Do they Spam you: No

Number of Survey received over 7 year since joining: Lost count

Overall rating: 1 out of 5 – This survey company is great if you are really lucky. I have done a few very high paying  journal type surveys and they not only pay well, they payout really really fast. But like I said you have to be really really lucky. Also important to note there are much fewer surveys compared to my last review of this site back in March 2010.

EXTRA INFO: NPD online research panel is the only survey site. That has proved to be honest in the sweepstakes contest. Both myself and many of my members and friends have won at one time or another.

Opinion Outpost – Survey Site Review (June 2010)

————————————

WARNING: There have been a number of complaints we have received related to Opinion Outpost removing and de-activating accounts. For little to no reason and even thou nether my myself nor any of my members have been effected by this issue. We found it paramount to dis-close this information to anyone wanting to sign up with this site.

————————————

Name: Opinion Outpost

Link: https://www.opinionoutpost.com/index.php

Who is eligible: Canada & US Only

Type of Award or payment: Cash (points) / Instant Prize / Sweepstakes / Donation / Amazon.com e-certificates

(10 point = $1.00 US) Must have 50 points = $5.00 US

Points normally earned per survey: 1-50 points

Sign-up time: Very Lengthy

How many surveys to expect per week: 0 – 10 (I have received more)

How long to collect reward: About 3 months to 1 year. Doing all the surveys sent to you in full (Sometimes it can take a lot longer, Depending on how much you want before you claim your cash) -Example $20.00-

Do they spam you: No

Number of Survey received over 7 year since joining: 750

Overall rating: 4 out of 5 – Opinion Outpost has fixed some of the  major time delays to receive your money (Payout). But a lot of the surveys you will be unable to complete because you don’t qualify for them. But the ones you can answer in full expect between 5-50 points or $0.50 to $5 USD. I would give Opinion Outpost a perfect score. If I received more paid surveys in which I actually qualified for (Points). There has been a noticeable decline in the number of survey invites since my last review way back in (March 2010).

————————————

Extra Important Information: You must complete your profile as well as update it up to twice a year to even keep on getting surveys. If you fail to do so they will just stop sending them to you with out any warning.
