I've had good luck with Toshiba machines for my rental laptops. I usually buy the models that are right around $600-$800 and they've been working fine for me.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

ND beat to me to it. The Toshiba sattelite series has a been a really good choice for a long long time.

OK, so I have a new desktop (wheee! *pets the computer*) and need a file-sharing program for aheming purposes. I understand the newer version of Azureus doesn't work well, so which program are people using?

I use Bittornado and there is a Windows version if that is what you are using.
I use it on the command line, but I've used the GUI Windows version in the past and it works well. You'll be downloading Linux ISO images I assume.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I like BitTornado, too.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I like Bittornado, and for the more advanced graphics Azureus-like interface there is always uTorrent. [link]

Thanks, all! I miss the Azureus a little bit, mostly because of the nice interface, but BitTornado looks basic and easy to use (plus no annoying update prompts), so I went with that for now.
I'll check out uTorrent as well; thanks Daniel.

Has anybody else noticed Firfefox having a problem with displaying CSS?

Vonnie,
I have not had any problems with the Azureus. I think they fixed whatever problems they were having.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I switched to uTorrent and have never looked back. The only feature Azureus has that uTorrent doesn't, and which I miss, is the ability to ban individual leechers with the click of the mouse. If you're a windows user, then uTorrent is (or should be) definitely the BT client of choice.
