Offtopic / BAD Internet wifi con, annoys people

« on: September 15, 2010, 12:33:55 am »

This might b very off topic, but.. here goes. (UK'ERS might want to listen more i think)

Remember im skint and cant afford the £45.00 > £80 gpb high gain arieal that i cant be certain actualy works anyway.

Here it is, I own a Vod4fon3 USB Dongle, with 3GB allowance for £15.oo gbp. I know is a complete ripo0ff but until I move home I dont want to go with much more reliable contract. (IM UK BTW).  However I live in the most wifi (dl speeds are small kbs 40not Kb's Or KB's) signalless <-- Newword maybe, hmm... place in the central belt of Scotland (where infact I should bee able to gain the full amount. My old vod4 was the only fone that could get a signal,,,,hmmm... But theres 2 big hills.  <-there & there -> (need to put one V or A, not v or a,  up and down)

If anyone has similar problems? Any Idieas?

I bought a 10 meter extention just to realise it wasnt propler sheilded, nor, did it have the ferrits on the ends to help. so I'm using my say 3 foot one stretched to near my window that is sheilded etc...

Problem is it does help but just..  Does anyone know know of better ways of gaining better signals on the cheap.   

I'm thinking about getting a satalite dish and tring to direct my dongle to the nearist , stronger signal.  But dont think my land landlord would appreciate it.  Or Would wrapping my 10' cable in tin foil reduce the interference because it did disconnect the link often.  Should I buy what i think are called ferrits ( things that you get on the ends of cables just a inch or 2 before the connector / attachments).

Or would a salad/spaggetti collander (dish things with holes) make a good sat dish; would a sat dish work that way.

Could I convert anything to create much more signal for this DONGLE infact I'll mention it its a K3565, I bought it was because it was a best buy. ayeeee....

3GB (data allowance)= £15

BUT NO CONTRACT, which I needed at the time... untill i move house.

I didnt have to complile any maps as far as im aware of... I cant find a compile_maps.bat, and maybe i need to look harder but as far as i can find is C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.3\base\maps\tropic\tr_craft_ufo_harvester.map but its (288 KB) and not (230 kB unzipped)

Windows xp, but, just until I get a copy of linux.  Is been at least 6 years since I've been online (on going gf relationship) I dont know whats changed or whatever....  Unsure what distro to get but Ubunutu (unsure if thats the correct spelling) seems to be the one on distrowatch ive noticed recently.

If so, you could get just the file tr_craft_ufo_harvester.map (230 kB unzipped), compile it, and the problem should be gone.

Yes it actually does...

This seems like what I need to do, questions... where do  get this file and what compiler do I need to implement it? (or is it even more simpler, or is their an readme/info/how-to?)

Thanks this might just be the help I needed

I did search a little, blindly (didnt know to search the key words 'tropical harvester')..  My internet connection is very limited due to bad wifi signal it took me 7 hours to download 2.3.  I would change provider but Im moving soon and dont want to commit to any contract yet.

So now i've just noticed the error is on tropical maps as I could go upstairs on a cold map. 
Is there ways around this? Or is it a case of using the Auto Complete mission option, I dont know of the advantages and disadvantages of this because the manual's seem very incomplete.  Kinda wished I had waited to the more bug free version came out.

Thanx
