it wasn't *just* socks now was it? Either way throwing physical objects is fine yet simple cheering isn't?

Where did I say cheering was wrong? People can sing or do whatever they want at matches as far as I am concerned, I just said that I have never heard Everton as loud as that when Gerrard was taken off, it was like they'd won the league.

You're always going to get one or two ***** at the game to be honest, I think someone threw a bottle but other than that it was just socks everywhere.

It will be a rough road with Gerrard out of play because hes more than a captain on the field, HES EVERYWHERE lol but we have strong players on Liverpool I think we can still play well but certain players have to step up. Riera and Babel have to come in and play epic!! Kuyt,Benayoun and Alonso can do it but everyone has to play well. COME ON LIVERPOOL WE CAN DO THIS

Mate, you have Harry Redknapp in charge of your team.

What's that got to do with anything?

Was referring to Benitez' gamble at leaving Torres and Kuyt on the bench, and still winning....

Old Cod Face is doing a decent job anyway imo. We only had two points from eight games when he joined, remember.

You're hyper sensitive about football banter sometimes mate.

And we only had two points from eight games.

I thought you were having a pop at Rafa, sorry :p

It just ****es me off the way the media were rubbing their hands with glee today at the prospect of an upset. What team could we have put out? Torres could hardly run at the end of the derby on Wednesday, and Alonso had a knock on his ankle. The coverage today on Setanta was cringe worthy and really annoyed me and some fellow Reds.

Plus, I don't like Harry Redknapp that much. Did you see that little flowchart that was going around the net about him? It was so true.

Anyway, you pleased to have Keane back?

3 West Ham players in the England Squad :p

I have to be honest tho Carlton Cole is crap I really don't know how he got there but lets hope he does the business tomorrow.

3 more than us :p

I think Villa have 6 in the squad, which is a crazy amount for one team. O'Neill seems to be building an exciting team at Villa, who are getting the results and a fair few of his players are English.

The liverpool match anoyed me.

The backpass is a stupid f'ing rule. I thought someone was offside in the build up to the third goal.

God, we get 2 goals and we still can't win.

Distin you are costing us points! Why didn't anyone come and help Crouch out?

It was a good game of football, and was full of mistakes.

Nugent was offside for your first, Babel was onside for his bad miss (the referee had his flag up), Aurelio never fouled which led to your second goal, Reina should have easily saved your two goals as well.

And then obviously came the mistakes from Pompey!

On another note, any team that has gone 1-0 up against us in the league this season, has not beat us, which is a nice statistic.

Why the hell didn't we play Arshavin today? It's just as I said before.. Wenger is playing Song, Denilson, Bendtner ahead of him.. :angry: We should've beaten Spurs today.. we were the better team by a mile and then some.. Wenger's decisions are far from my understanding.. whatever he sees in Song, Denilson, Bendtner.. I can't see to be honest and how he fails to see Vela and Arshavin's quality baffles me.. I'm absolutely gutted.. :angry:

Eboue.. one word.. IDIOT.. after the first yellow he should've been more careful.. Why not play Wilshere for a game or two on the wing and form a firing squad especially for Eboue? But again.. Wenger should seriously consider retirement.. how can you have players of the quality of Arshavin, Eduardo and Ramsey on the bench and you still play Eboue, Denilson, Song (although he had a decent game) and Bendter ahead of them????!?? And that too in a derby match?!!!

Yeah eboue is a complete idiot. God damn him, we had to run around the pitch for the rest of the game. Arshavin hasn't played for a couple of months so not a good idea to put him on plus it's better to welcome him at home :)

I'm not saying Arshavin should've started the game.. I'm saying Wenger should've given him a go.. as well as Eduardo, Ramsey and Vela.. and what's with the disallowed goal?!??

I know the FA wants everyone to respect the referees and all but in almost every game we see wrong and objectionable decisions.. why can't we have replays in football, even if its only for the referees??

We did the job, we won. What can I say more, it was a very poor game. Giggs scored for the first time this season. Very nice goal by the way.

I enjoyed more watching Spurs against Arsenal, and it was ****ty too. :D

      That's (at least partially) on 7-zip; Nanazip (7-zip fork) adds itself properly to Context menus.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

      How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
