Hello people,

Vuze (formally known as Azureus) is a BitTorrent client and has a number of settings to control the speed of downloads and uploads.

This information is provided simply as a convenience to our customers. Virgin Media cannot offer assistance with and does not endorse this application. Don’t forget, you must not use our services to breach copyrightTerms & Conditions 

To adjust the maximum upload speed of the Vuze client, click the menu item Tools -> Options then click Transfer in the options window. Here you can adjust the maximum upload speed to one of the suggested values in the table below.

Broadband Speed	10Mb	20Mb	30Mb	50Mb	100Mb
Broadband upload speed	1Mb	2Mb	3Mb	5Mb	10Mb
Suggested P2P upload speed	50kB/s 400kbps	100kB/s 800kbps	150kB/s 1200kbps	250kB/s 2000kbps	500kB/s 4000kbps

The basic Vuze program doesn’t have a scheduler by default, however, one is provided as a plugin.

To install the Speed Scheduler plugin click Tools -> Plugins -> Installation Wizard...

A new window will pop-up, select “By list from sourceforge.net” and clickNext

It is recommended that you install the plugin for all users, however, if you’re using Windows Vista, you’ll have to install the plugin just for you, then clickFinish.

A list of available plugins will then be displayed. Scroll down and locateSpeed Scheduler. Tick the box next to Speed Scheduler and click Next.

You will receive confirmation of the plugins being installed. Ensure the correct plugin is selected and click Install.

Once the installation has completed, you’ll have to restart Vuze.

Once Vuze restarts, the speed scheduler plugin will be installed. You’ll now have to enable the scheduler and then configure it.

To configure the speed scheduler, click Tools -> Plugins -> Speed Scheduler.

Once the Speed Scheduler window is displayed (above), tick the Enable SpeedScheduler checkbox (1). You can also set the Max upload speed when no schedule is being applied (2) (use the table mentioned earlier). Finally, click the New Schedule button (3) to start creating schedules.

You can create schedules to apply at specific hours and specific days. In the example below, we’ve paused all downloading and uploading between 5:00pm and 11:59pm everyday of the week.

Once you’re satisfied with the schedule, click OK. The newly created schedule should be added to the Speed Scheduler. You can create multiple schedules for different times of the day and different days of the week.

Trucks come in all shapes and sizes -here are some of my favourite ones. Once you've mastered using simple shapes co draw them have a go at sketching them instead. The first one to try is a snowplough / tipper truck.

First draw three circles to make wheels then join them together with a straight line. Now draw the curvy cab. Put a rectangle behind it at an angle. Add the shovel.

Add a rectangular window and draw four squares to look like panels as shown. Add some more lines to the back of the truck to show how it's being tipped up. Now colour it in.

Now make a rough pencil sketch of your truck. Study the picture - can you see how some parts are made darker by using extra shading? Try it!

Build up the shading using layer after layer of soft pencil lines

Drawing a modern train is a bit like drawing a truck. It's made up of lots of rectangles and circles.

Let's start with an ordinary passenger train then look at how we can turn this into lots of different types of train.

You will need a piece of paper a rubber a black pen and a pencil.

Draw a long rectangle. Now draw three pairs of circles along the bottom to make wheels.

Put a smaller circle inside each of the circles you've already drawn. Add some little rectangles to make windows and doors.

Your train won't be going anywhere without the driver's carnage. This time instead of drawing a rectangle draw a more curvy shape like this one.

Let's whizz on to drawing high-speed trains.

Trains carry all kinds of loads in different types of containers - here are some you could draw.

Draw a giant sausage to make a cylinder shaped tank.

Draw a curvy line above a rectangle to make a heap of gravel - add lots of tiny circles for the little stones.

Steam trains aren't as hard to draw as you might think. Follow these steps and your train will soon be whistling away.

You will need a piece of paper a rubber a black pen and a pencil.

Start with some wheels - draw two identical circles close together

To make the driver's cab draw three sides of a tall rectangle on top of the wheel on the left.

Draw a long rectangle shape as shown to make the body - leave a curve in it where it meets the other wheel.

Steam trains need to be cleaned inside - so add a curve to make a dome-shaped door and use a tint rectangle for a handle.

Draw two little circles to the right of your big circles to make front wheels. 

Now add two arch-shaped windows to the cab.

Draw three rectangles along the top of your train. Put some small circles inside all the wheels then connect the front wheels to the tram using little rectangles and lines.

Draw some rods to link the wheels together. Then draw three thin stick shapes along the top of the train.

Add two semi-circles for steam domes and draw a big steam funnel. Study the picture on the left to see what else you could add - I've shaded the extra details green.

Add a bell and anything else you can think off then your train will be ready to go running down the track.

Hello

first, You will need a piece of paper a rubber a black pen and a pencil.

Draw two circles for wheels. Copy the cab and body you can see in the picture above. To make the sky lift sit a triangle on top of the body then add two diagonal lines. Draw a square dangling from the top.

Add some more details  - don't forget the windows. Now colour in your picture - red of course!

Now draw the outline of your fire engine again in pencil. Make the lines very light at first - if you aren't happy with the shape you can rub out the lines without leaving too many marks. Now add some shading.

Running is a weapon with which you can fight obesity, depression, anxiety, it strengthens your cardiovascular system and it frees your mind. You too could be one of those people who other people gaze wistfully at. I promise. Tried it before and hated it? Don’t worry – there are tricks you can use to cheat the system. This is how you get into running, when you think you can‘t run:

1. SLOW IT DOWN. This is the biggest mistake I see people making. Running should not be fast – not at first. It should be very, very slow. The best way to start out is to walk for 5-10 minutes, gradually increasing your pace until you’re walking at such a speed that it starts to feel a little uncomfortable. Then – without increasing your speed – lift your feet between steps. Congratulations. You are running. Doesn’t it feel easier than walking really, really fast? Good.

2. BREAK IT DOWN. Rome was not built in a day. Running is a learning process for your body, which needs to get fitter in order to be able to do what your brain is asking of it. Remember that burning chest feeling you get when you run for the bus? If you get that, you’re doing too much too soon. Once you’ve mastered the slow run (see above), try interspersing 1 minute runs with 2 minute walks. Repeat 5 times, with a 5 minute walk to warm up and cool down either side, and you have a 25 minutes of excellent running activity, all done by you, the supposed non-runner. Well done!

3. KEEP IT UP. Consistency is the key to progress. Aim to get your running practice in 2-3 times a week. If you only manage to grab 15 minutes here and there, that’s just fine and dandy too, and we‘ve established above that it doesn‘t have to be especially strenuous. The main thing is that you do it – no excuses, no putting it off until tomorrow. Write it in your diary if you have to, stick it on the fridge, leave your trainers by the front door in the morning – whatever it takes. As you get more confident, increase the length of your running intervals, and reduce the walking. See how much further you can go. Feels good, doesn’t it? You couldn’t do any of this a few weeks ago, and now you can. Feel proud.

The biggest running myth of all is that you should feel completely knackered by the end of your runs. If you’re doing it properly, you should feel energised and invigorated. If you find you’re becoming exhausted to the point where you lose motivation and start skipping sessions, then you’re running too fast or for too long. Really. Take it down a notch. There’s no point running yourself into injury – you’re doing this because you want to care for your body, not punish it.

Finally, the common sense stuff. Learn some stretches to cool down with, and make sure you’ve got trainers with a reasonable support in them. Keep hydrated. If you’ve got any existing medical issues that you’re worried may be aggravated by high impact exercise, then get your doctor’s approval before starting out.

Now let's draw a tractor. In each of the steps below the part of the picture you need to draw is shaded blue - but don't colour in your own picture until the end.

You will need a piece of paper a rubber a black pen and a pencil.

Draw two different-size circles side by side to make wheels.

Copy the picture below to draw the body of your tractor - try drawing a straight line to join the wheels first.

Draw a circle inside each of the wheels. Now you've made some tyres.

Draw a much smaller circle in the middle of each wheel. Then draw lots of curved fines around the edge of each tyre to make the tread.

Look at the picture above. Carefully copy all the lines drawn to make the windows and

door. Add stripes to the bonnet too.

You could add a few more details to your picture before you colour it in. Don't forget the cylinder-shaped exhaust pipe - it sticks up out of the bonnet.
