According to various googles I did, a lot of bittorrent programs do not yet do UDP, but Azureus should. I don't know what version you need. Probably very recent.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I don't know what UDP is, but I have the latest version. I'm seeding now, and uploading to YSI.

I usually use bit tornado, but I have Azureus 2.2.0.2 and it has UDP, and it works on that. So at least back that far has UDP ability.

I may have to seize the cat.
A television show realistically portraying the mysogyny that exists in society, and the charcters maybe even using it to their advantage in going after the bad guys, doesn't equate to promoting it or excusing it, in my book.
Yes, so much. I find myself constantly frustrated with people I know who get upset when misogyny is portrayed realistically, because acknowledging something exists is the same as supporting it, really. *rolls eyes* Truly, if we are to make any forward progress in this world, we can't pretend that nasty things aren't out there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's possible to exploit misogyny and crimes against vaginas (cf SVU) without supporting them. I dislike it as a shorthand to ultimate horror.

That makes sense. I think there is a balance to it. Sometimes it is valuable to portray these bad things, and it is certainly always possible to do so in a manner not exploitative, and it is thoroughly disappointing when people exploit it. Especially if they are pretending to be self-righteously against said misogyny while using melodramatic portrayal of it to their advantage. Even so, I know some people with a knee-jerk reaction to any portrayal of it at all that I think could use to be kept in check.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There is a flip-side to that last bit though. Grey's Anatomy does several things racially and genderwise that are basically not true to life but it doesn't take you out of the drama. The Times did an article on it. [link] (buffista/foamy) There's something to be said for creating an alternate reality. Arguably, it too encourages forward progress.
I'm not saying The Inside is mysoginistic. (I've only seen the one but I sincerely doubt that would be the case.) But I can see how some people would really prefer the other approach.

It still cracks me up that, while what you say about the show's content is absolutely true, the credits sequence would lead one to believe that the show is a Sex and the City clone. I'm flabbergasted that a show created and run by a woman, with a mostly female writing bullpen, would choose to concentrate on visual images of primping when the show itself is about a terrifically capable and determined young surgeon who's struggling to be taken seriously on her own merits.

I'm 50% through my second Global Freq (I thought about leaving that at GF, but let's not) attempt, using XBT client.
Matt -- the show is so not about medicine and she hasn't struggled with much other than her right to sleep with her boss in the last few eps. It's about the lives and loves of pretty people who seem to practice medicine (although highly implausible).
