Add Banners And Netbarrier, code incompatibility Options

[dowser101]

hi there, i got a lot of problems browsing thru the site until i realize pages were getting stuck due to stubborn add banner links trying to load despite Netbarrier was set to block them. I off'd the function and all went back to flow. This never happened anywhere else. This banners are sticky...

Thanks WM, i ll go thru urs point by point (nearly):
1-i had the NB add filter on when i came first and i crashed trying to post, but with a torrent uploading, you re right, so i deactivated NB add blocker and it went allrite for a while. I then crashed again while submitting as i was jumping from the submitted soft page to the submitting form, pasting the links, no p2p on at that time. As it was the same kind a crash and i m not used to this, i blamed this add reloading "trick" (hey, it IS a trick! no matter how many people use it. i don t mean any bad, i would have said a "hack" if i was blaming u )

2- sounds like i wrote the first part, apart from the NEVER part
I don t think i m concerned with high fragmentation, I do reboot my mac at least every time i install something as an admin that asks me to do itp (pretty often since i m upgrading my apps to panther compatibility). I relog pretty often as well and i even relaunch Safari 1.1.1 (v100.1) anytime it just acts weird. It crashed only on few occasions, mostly php forums (should i mention here the home page of M$J ) so i guess it IS related to this standard php add system. What i see is the address bar of safari getting the blue progress filling up to .org, then it stops and the little wheel keeps spinning in the tab header. Fortunately, it fully loads in fine 99% of the time.

3-PB800 DVI/512M 10.3.2

4-i think that s what i had in my 840AV, it used to be enough to make our third album with MACOS 7.5.3. It s still working perfectly.

It is clear that most of the problem i had under OS X are coming from the VM swap fragmentation, it sucks up to 3GO sometimes, eventhough i don t have more apps opened than usual, and forces me to restart. When i don t see it coming i have an alert saying there s no more sufficient space on the start up disk to save a file, and refuses to close iTunes because it could not saves its preferences.
It was doing it with Jaguar, still a problem with Panther
Nuff said, it comes ALSO from my side. But it s because i don t use a PC.

5-R U joking , , that s 10.3.2, installed in December from the official beta and updated since thru SwUd. It s been nursed by Apple DU, NDD, DW and D10 after every update. Nothing cleaner 100 km around (maybe even 500 )

6-As i said there used to be some BT activity (sarwat app) but the second time it happened it was Safari alone, with few windows opened and one of them with few tabs on. Not even reloading any of it. Azureus was open in the BG but inactive.

7-thanks for this simple input, i m not using that stuff but this one sounds pretty safe
I m definitely going to check it with the official BT, the sarwat BT and Azureus to know their scores

8- pee®v@ngu@®d is taking care of me...
