I've only torrented a few times, but I remember it started out really slow and gradually sped up....
None of it means a damn thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jesse,
be careful now. Someone got a threat to have her ISP pull access if she was caught torrenting again.
Don't torrent movies under any conditions. There are tv shows that are high risk too, but I don't know all of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That'd be me. MGM smacked me for downloading Stargate Atlantis. I don't know if only MGM is on the warpath, or what precisely is their stuff.

Trust my rage
Yeah, I'm not sure it makes a difference, but I only torrent TV.
Also, usually it starts out saying hours and hours, but it always seems to go faster.

Is MGM behing "Dead LIke Me" - because whatever studio is behind DLM also sent lawsuit letters to ISPs back in September or October.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, so I will still attempt the whole VCR action thing. It's so annoying on principle that one thing would be OK, but not the other.
Oh, and now it's down to less than two hours. Huh.

DLM is indeed MGM.

Is there a way to make the iPod play gaplessly? The one I borrowed had an album where the tracks run together seamlessly on the CD, but on the iPod there was a fraction of a second of silence when it changed tracks.
The simple answer is 'no'. Every other portable mp3 player I've used has that problem too - I'd think it'd be an easy thing to fix.
The more complex answer it that you can experiment with iTunes' crossfade feature to provide a tiny overlap between songs. I did that on mine and it seems I notice the problem less, although I've never done a definitive "scientific" experiment to make sure it's a solution.

Our wings are not tired
I think DebetEsse also got the ISP threat from torrenting a few months ago. Not sure what show it was for though.
