Faaaabulous, darling!

A day of fabulousness...

• My VM and AD DVDs shipped.
• From sarkastic: Amazon is having a DVD sale, much like last week's Target sale. I had almost everything I'm interested in, but not Lois & Clark season 1. It's making its way to my home as we speak. (Why yes, I am a dork, thanks for asking) *g*
• Best screencap review(s) ever: Logan Echolls (Duncan Kane).

Also, I got tired of talking about rewatching Felicity and never getting around to it because the DVDs are apparently never going to be on sale, so I set about "obtaining" the episodes in another way. I started with season 2, and DUDE! Average speed: 143 kB/s. Right now: 198 kB/s. I do adore my Internet connection.

198 kB/s!? Wow, sometimes bittorrent is actually efficient! Who knew?

BitTorrent has always been good to me, but large files have usually been the exception. Not anymore! Right now: 241 kB/s.

do you know if you had to do any special tweakig to get it to run efiiently for you? mine sucks so much hardcoreness that i can't remember the last time any one single torrent crept above 5k/s for more than a minute or two.

The only thing I make sure of is that I limit the upload speed to around 70% of my top upload speed. That seems to be optimal for me, though I've heard 80% is better for others.

As far as I know, some people can have abysmal download speeds with one client and then they switch to another client and their downloads are super fast. I think torrents are a total crapshoot, actually, so I'm just glad I'm one of the lucky ones.

hmm...what client do you use?

I've used BitComet for a few months now and it's definitely the best one so far. For me, that is.
