Slow Bittorrent
You know how sometimes, you get these torrents that seem to be slower than molasses? I have one and it’s for an Anime program called Azumanga Daioh. I don’t exactly know what the deal is but I have seeded 291.02MB and downloaded 286.95MB and the entire thing is like 4GB or so. Furthermore, it appears at it may take forever to get this data via Bittorrent. I know it isn’t my internet connection due to the fact that I have attempted to download Openoffice.org and was able to do it at an alarming speed.
I swear, Bittorrent is great for some things but when the torrents and your internet connection suck, then we all have a large problem. I swear, I am doing more seeding than I am downloading and I am afraid that I will have seeded the entire torrent before even getting the rest of the data myself.
Ah well, as long as I share, seed and upload, I can get better privs on the diverse network of trackers around the world.

Ahh yes. Torrents are quite like that in general. Shame really, as it is quite a nice and convenient way to aquire things but the slowness can be quite a pain. I rarely use torrents at all now for the simple fact I seed faster than I download.
