I hear that in most cases yellow light means that you are firewalled. So, I guess you did something to prevent that then :) Opened/forwarded ports maybe. The importanat part is that it's working :)
What client you are using? There could be multiple reasons on why your download is slow. I would suggest that you'd go and ask in your clients support forum (or whatever) for assistance.
As for UPnP, turn it of from preferences, if your modem/router/whatever doesn't support it.
I have all Nightwish albums :) I didn't like the 'Once' album as much as Oceanborn for example. Holopainen kinda took it too far, sounds like he is 'being artistic just for the sake of being artistic'. It grows on me though, but generally I hope they don't follow the footsteps of Rhapsody and other similar 'epic' bands.
Rhapsody is just ridicilous.
I actually have klite codec pack installed right now. So far I have had no issues with it. I hear lot of bad things about codec packs in general, but so far it's all hear say for me.
Do you use windows media player to watch these? Bad boy :) I would like to take a moment and recommend Core Media Player to all Windows users. Ditch the crappy WMP.

http://tasvideos.org/Kilu.html is supposedly an orphan. It supposedly has no references.
However, http://tasvideos.org/Users.html points to it. On some other personal pages Users is shown under the Referenced by section. Why doesn't mine?
Is it a bug or is there something I have misunderstood in this?
Yeah, the game is hard, but I managed to beat when I borrowed from a friend. The biggest issue for me was the fact that jump and attack button were reversed comparing to any other platformer. If I remember correctly.
One of the greatest games for NES in my opinion. And yeah, musics whoop ass.
Perhaps it's your amazing sound pack, Mr. 12, that is making the midis not sound accurate. Probably 95% of the non-remixed songs on VG music are 100% accurate. I have heard a few that manage to leave out an entire track or two (ie. Sonic 2 Final Boss, none of the four that are up there are 100% accurate).
First check your eyes, and try not to confuse me with 12 motion again. Second, as I said before... trained ears can pick quite a lot of mistakes in the midis of vgmusic. Your's obviously aren't trained. Third, who would I rather believe, my own ears, professional composers and VGMA Webmaster of vgmusic.... or you, some random guy I have never seen before.
Tne bigger they are, the better quality they usually are.
Well put. Though there are always exceptions, even in the professional costly ones. But that's the general rule.
And how to improve midi performance, depends on your soundcard. To use sf2 files, you would need soundcard that supports them. I currently have sblive5.1, which works for me quite well at the moment. And then you would need to find some decent packs to download. As with everything on internet, some of the stuff is good and some really bad. Finding decent soundfonts can be a pain in the ass, so unless you actually listen midis frequently, it may not be worth all the trouble.
And about the vgmusic accuracy. I can't point you to any files that would be wrong, but I can quote Powerlord (VGMA Webmaster of vgmusic).

with songs on VGMusic, it's really hit or miss whether you get a good song or bad.
Even the close sounding songs are rarely note-perfect.
At some point, I hope to sweep the really bad songs out of VGMusic's archive...
This came about in vgmix a while back when someone new asked for assistance on mixing, and someone suggested that he should use vgmix midis as a base of the remix. And then everyone in the know came and said that "first of, you should use your ears to transcribe the notes, in the long run it's better, and secondly, vgmusic is not as accurate as it sometimes seem to be. The man who suggested using midis was crucified :)
How can you say I have never heard MIDI with this kind of interface!?
Well, I obviously can't know whether or not you have heard midis with same soundfonts that I have as I have no access to your hardware/software. But then again, you can't know whether or not the sound I have is better than psx as you have no access to my hardware/software :)

You are really wrong. It's true the sound is better but those pack are generally TOO expensive since we can buy an HDD and record real instruments in .wav-.mp3.
If I'm wrong, that would mean that the sound is worse. But in the very next sentence you contradict with that saying that "the sound is better". So which way is it?
This was never about whether or not it would be cheap to listen midis with good quality sounds. And besides, my pack didn't cost a dime, and I'm not even sure that they sell gm compatible packs. As in, load it up and listen. As far as I know, all of the sold packs don't contain all the instruments, you'd need to buy several different packs to make a fully functional gm pack. And yes, that would cost quite a bit. Not to mention the huge ram usage, if those instruments would be used for casual listening.
To sum it all up, I'm just saying that midi is hardly poor quality, as it all depends on listeners hardware/software. And my current gm pack is better sounding than most of the psx games I have played. That's all there is to it.
Midi sound quality is as poor as your hardware/software used for playing them. I personally have quite nice gm compatible soundfont, and the quality is better than most of the psx games I have played. After that it's all about how accurately the midi is sequenced.
Vgmusics midi accuracy is less than perfect. There are some note to note accurate sequences, but some are just bad, containing kazillions of wrong notes.
Oh, and 12motion, if you are planning to use someone elses midi on your site, try asking permission from the sequncer first. Sure, one might think that if it's on internet, it's free for all to use, and most people probably won't have any issues with that. However, there are always some who have made the midis exclusive to some page.
And asking a permission is also polite :)
Yeah, rsn is a renamed rar. You can unpack it (I do, old habits die hard) to get the single spc files.
And not to mention the small fact that when I add all my rsn files to playlist, play the first one, and winamp unpacks it, it obviously unpacks them to the end of the list. I don't like that, so I do as I have always done, unpack 'em.
