HOWTO improving your internet connection using wondershaper

I just downgraded my internet connection. I just hate it when a p2p application prevents me from browsing the web fast. So let's do something about it

wondershaper is an easy to use traffic shaping script that provides these improvements:

* Low latency for interactive traffic (and pings) at all times
* Allow websurfing at reasonable speeds while uploading / downloading
* Make sure uploads don't hurt downloads
* Make sure downloads don't hurt uploads

official webpage :
http://lartc.org/wondershaper

about the ubuntu package :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/net/wondershaper

/usr/share/doc/wondershaper contains readme files. You might want to read these also.

I'm using firestarter together with wondershaper. Nothing has to be changed to firestarter.

So here we go :
sudo apt-get install wondershaper

use ifconfig to determine which of your networkcards is the one that is connected to your modem (and thus the internet).

$ifconfig

the networkcard that has your normal ip adress is the one (not 192.168.x.x)

Go to a speedtesting website (for example a speedtesting website by your internet provider or www.speedtest.nl if you live in the netherlands) and determine your average upload and download speed. Use these speeds as a guide.

$sudo wondershaper eth1 downspeed upspeed

download a big and uncompressable file while pinging to a fast and stable server on the internet or to your modem and adjust your downspeed until you are satisfied :

$sudo wondershaper eth1 downspeed upspeed

Now do the same with uploading a big and uncompressable file.

You have to tweak these settings a while until you are satisfied. When you are ready you can make these connection settings permanent by :

$ sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces

add these lines under eth1 if eth1 is your internetconnection. Change eth1,upspeed and downspeed to your settings.

Code:

up /sbin/wondershaper eth1 downspeed upspeed
down /sbin/wondershaper clear eth1

And we are done!

Word to PDF Convertor

A Word document may be easily converted to a PDF file However, what happens if you need to convert a ton of Word files into PDFs? It will take a long time to open every file by hand and save it to PDF. You may quickly and easily convert large amounts of Word to PDF with the help of this method. And without utilizing any outside tools either. Ms. Word is all you need. Copy the following code into Notepad or Notepad++, then save the file as "PDF.js" in a folder var obj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var docPath = WScript.Arguments(0); docPath = obj.GetAbsolutePathName(docPath); var pdfPath = docPath.replace(/\.doc[^.]*$/, ".pdf"); var objWord = null; try { objWord = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application"); objWord.Visible = false; var objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(docPath); var format = 17; objDoc.SaveAs(pdfPath, format); objDoc.Close(); WScript.Echo("Saving '" + docPath + "'
