I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've seen a couple people on LJ bitching about this update, ita. Which is not really any help, but at least you're not alone.

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

Okay, so what's the next torrent client in line? This is now useless software to me. Nothing's moving.

Creating a new profile seems to have solved my Firefox problems. Now to migrate settings...

Trust my rage

So, I've done my share of torrenting TV programs and never had much trouble. This morning, I tried to torrent something and, after downloading the "seed" file, I opened BitTorrent. Or I should say I tried to open it because it started to open and then closed down without an error message or anything else.

I just installed Tiger last week, although I don't know if that's related. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or any suggestions on why I would be having this problem now.

The macosx community on LiveJournal is pretty helpful if you just browse through it, as a lot of the people on it (or at least the ones who post) upgraded to Tiger as soon as it came out. On their user info page, if you scroll down, there's a search function where you can search the forum.

Another really useful site, updated daily, is MacFixIt.

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

Hey Teppy, I disremember - you've used Macs at work for a while, right?

Yup -- 10 years now. I have a G4 tower, running OS 9.1, while my co-worker's G4 is running 10.2.something. I need to convince TPTB to upgrade us to Tiger, b/c it's really annoying to be running different OSs.

Was your iBook the first Mac that you've owned?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bittorrent was not working under Tiger. They just released a new version a couple days ago: [link]

Yup. And I loves it so, with a fervent sickandwrong love.
