Are you have any problems about internet connection? Are you always fail when you download a film? You must read this. Maybe this article will fix your problems.
First, you know that there are two term in digital world (internet). They are upload, and download. Second, the internet technology. Maybe I will make some post about internet technology. Third, down and up speed.
The third above influence when we download some information from the web. I think I will not talking about what download is or what upload is. Here, I will give you some suggestion about download manager that you will use.
Actually, download manager don't increase your down speed. I've tried it. Two days ago, I downloaded my favorite film. I used a download manager on my Linux machine. Manuals said that you will get the fastest speed. But, the reality, it would not happen. The conclusion is download manager only manage your download process or your upload process.
Now, these are some samples.

Open your console then type

sudo apt-get install fatrat

Once again I remind you. When ever you want to use that command, you must be connected to the internet. If you want more information, click on the title above (FatRat Download Manager).

Prozilla Download Manager

Prozilla is included in the famous old download manager. Based on the internet history, I think Prozilla is the oldest download manager.
The features are

• Support on FTP & HTTP


• Support Resume Download Facility


• It support many connections and connection configuration


• support for the search FTP and choose the fastest server automatically


• It have maximal bandwith limitation for the downloading

We need a packet to use Prozilla. Click here to download.
Install the packet.
Before you install the packet, I will tell you about the weakness of this download manager. I am not sure that Prozilla has the GUI interface. Because I never use and I never find the GUI of Prozilla. This condition is compatible for you that want to study about command line.

I hope this can be useful.

How to Set Your Mobile Phone as a Modem

Mobile phone is included in the wireless technology. Talking about the wireless technology, It reminded me with my old amateur radio. First amateur radio needs an antenna to send and receive the information. For example, My amateur radio use a simplest antenna. People call it Open dipole antenna. It is made from the long measured wire, and a winding wire.
If you ever use the radio, you will hear the noise beside the vocal. That is my first wireless experience.
Now, Internet. Internet is included in 7 wonders of the world (Based on USA Today). Internet is a new media and it makes the world become smaller than before. Every one know about internet. Internet can be accessed by mobile phone, TV Cable network, coaxial, satellite, etc. Now, I'll tell you about connect your computer to the internet by mobile phone.
Before we begin our adjustment, make sure that you have activated your cellular GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) from your provider.
OK, I think you have activated your cellular GPRS. But, here I'm using UNE (Ubuntu Netbook Edition). I think this tutorial can run on plain Ubuntu or it also can run on the modified Ubuntu. Let's do it!

1. First, plug your mobile phone.


2. Then, make sure that you have installed wvdial packets. If you never yet install it, you shall install it.
   There are two ways to install wvdial packets. First, via command line (console). Open your console, then type this:

   sudo apt-get install wvdial

   
   Second, you can also download the packets. Click here to download the packets.
   P.S. whenever you will install any programs on Linux via console, you must be connected to the internet web.


3. After you install it, open your console then type this:

   wvdialconf

   so, on your console will appear this:

   Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf’.
   Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
   ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 — failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
   ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 — failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
   ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 — and failed too at 115200, giving up.
   Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3
   
   Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
   Did you configure it properly with setserial?

   It means that there is no modem detected. But, don't worry. It will run properly.


4. login as a super user:

   sudo -s

   enter your password, and you have been logging in.


5. Next, type

   lsusb

   then, on your console will appear

   root@ubuntu:~# lsusb
   Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:8198 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
   Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

   Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

   Those are informations. It will inform us about any hardware that have plugged on USB ports.


6. then type

   modprobe -r usbserial

   after that, type this:

   modprobe usbserial vendor=0x05c6 product=0x9004

   Maybe, you will be confused, where we will find those number. OK, read the informations above, and you will get it. Here, I use the mobile phone that it use Qualcomm, Inc. chip.


7. After that, type

   wvdial

   then will appear:

Pengalaman Bisnis Online

Aku adalah seorang pelajar SMA. Aku hobi dengan internet. Aku mengenal internet sejak aku duduk di Sekolah Dasar. Waktu itu, aku masih hanya bermain-main dengan internet seperti game online apapun bentuknya.
Aku memang berkeinginan untuk memiliki penghasilan sendiri sejak lama. Sejak SMP, aku sudah mencoba-coba untuk berkreasi. Pertama kali, kecil-kecilan aku hanya membuat sebuah ikatan-ikatan tali yang kemudian menjadi kerajian kalung. Namun, boleh percaya atau tidak, aku membuat kerajinan itu dari bahan-bahan yang sudah tidak terpakai lagi. Contohnya adalah tali plastik bekas. Aku mengumpulkannya, dan menganyamnya lalu mengikatnya.
Teman-temanku tidak percaya tentang hal itu. Karena, menurut pendapat mereka, dari luar tidak terlihat bila itu adalah barang bekas. Aku juga mendapat aplaus dari guru ekonomiku, karena telah melakukan praktek meningkatkan nilai ekonomi suatu barang. Aku merasa sangat bangga sekali.
Cerita diatas adalah sedikit tentang jiwa entrepreneurship-ku yang berkembang sejak di bangku SMP. Sampai sekarang, aku terus berinovasi mengenai handmade buatanku.
Sejak adanya artis Justin Bieber, aku sempat menjadi iri dengannya. Karena, jelas sekali dia lebih muda daripadaku, lalu dia seusia segitu sudah memiliki penghasilan. Nah, itulah yang membuat aku iri. Kalau dia bisa memiliki penghasilan sendiri, mengapa aku tidak? Maka, aku mulai mencari usaha-usaha lain. Aku sangat berbahagia sekali saat bapakku membuka fasilitas internet di rumah. Lalu, aku berusaha mencari. Eh..., ternyata baru hari ini aku menemukan teknik yang ampuh untuk menghasilkan uang.
Kata om Google, untuk pelajar yang cocok adalah teknik PTC (Pay to Click). Bagaimana maksudnya? Maksudnya, kita dibayar hanya untuk melihat iklan. Aku mengikuti PTC yang berbahasa Indonesia saja. Karena sejujurnya, aku bisa lebih mengerti kalau rupiah yang bicara. Kalau dollar, aku agak kurang mengerti. Bagaimana? tertarik? silakan daftar, dengan meng-klik di sini:
