Quick techy question for I am too lazy to go to the Tech thread:
How many simultaneous torrents download can you reasonably have going at the same time? On the advice of several people, I downloaded the azureus client, which works like a beauty (except for those times when I have trouble finding the downloaded avi files on the hard drive without opening the client.) I have two files downloading (and two uploading) on a T1 line at work--I know, I know), but when I added the third one for download, it queued instead of starting. Does having more than one torrent up for downloading compromise the speed by much?
were they ever Sculder? Mully?
Thankfully, no. Not that I ever saw, anyway.
Vonnie, I think there's a setting in Azureus where you can tweak the maximum number of files that can be transmitted at once.
I find my Azureus doesn't actually delete the .torrent when I ask it to remove and delete. Otherwise it's brilliant.

Yeah, what the hell is up with that?
The weird thing is that the actual movie files I've downloaded is in this file called "Download" under "Azureus" under "Application Data", but when I try to get at it without opening the Azureus client, I can't find the damn file. Damnedest thing.

Never. Praise the Jeebuslug.
There is a character in
Carnivale
called Sculder, and every time I hear the name, I do a full-body shudder and light a candle in gratitude that the hideous pairing portmanteux phenomenon didn't get a chance to taint the show. (Well, there have been a bunch of other things that tainted the show, but I won't go into that bottomless pit of bitterness just now.)
Moose and Squirrel!
Oh, it's cute, but it's no portmanteau.

Ah -- I manually pick my destinations (I download comics and TV, and store them separately) so I've never noticed that.

Until reading this, it had never occurred to me how hilarious the grandaddy of all slash pairings would have been under those terms.

Happens to me all the damned time. I finally got it to change the default directory to the place where I usually stick stuff, but it still sometimes manages to lose them on me. Very confusing.
I never saw Scully and Mulder as quite the same kind of trainwreck as Jack/Sam, because they had (to me) better interpersonal chemistry, the bond wasn't diffused in a four-person team, there weren't nearly as many infrastructural barriers (i.e., military chain of command, direct supervisor, etc), and the writing between them was actually pretty good a lot of the time (if not always). However I was very disgruntled with means by which they resolved the ship in XF.

I can only assume your referring to K(irk/Sp)ock? Although Spirk or Spork are pretty funny as well.

It did kind of crack me up that even the Big!Finale!Kiss! was very carefully done in truly awful lighting. No soup for you!
