Not gmail, I probably did that. Habit as I don't want to be rude & send to the list & the poster (double post). I'll send you the torrent, it's a waste of your time trying something I already tried, no? Maybe I'm missing something here, i just don't want to burden anyone. I've tried over 20 torrents, they all act the same. Downloaded this (attached) torrent in Windows XP overnight, no interruption. In UNR 9.10, same thing, overnight. But if you insist here it is, i don't want to be in any way uncooperative.

When someone sends you a direct email, the expectation is that you will send a direct reply. > I'll send you the torrent, it's a waste of your time trying something > I already tried, no?

In the past 1.67 hours, I've downloaded a bit more than half of the data in this torrent. Here's what I'm I'm doing it with: - Cable modem (Cox HSI, DOCSIS 2.0 Linksys CM100 modem) - Linksys WRT54GL - Cat5, Linksys switch - Realtek RTL8111/8168B - Sid, amd64 - kernel 2.6.32-3-amd64, r8169 driver - transmission-gtk v1.93 Gee, I've got a lot of Linksys kit...

I pick up all computer/networking related stuff from Newegg, some other electronics as well. Newegg simply rocks IMHO. The one thing I couldn't bring myself to buy from Newegg was my LCD TV. I bought the same unit I was looking at on Newegg locally, for many reasons, not the least of which was immediate warranty swap if it failed. The other was having to take off work to accept delivery. Newegg doesn't ship their large TVs via UPS or FedEx, but via no-name courier/freight companies who only deliver during business hours, i.e. 8-5. This is how it was at that time anyway, which was 2006'ish. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
