  • I haven’t torrented in many years. But I wanted to give a shoutout to all of the seeders that come back online, so I we could finish. There were many movies I had qued. Most were fine and finished up in three days or less, some started then stopped before they even reached the 15% mark, and several would make it to 98% then stop. Thankfully, there were some people out there who finally came back online and seeded enough for me to finish the dls. I made sure to seed enough peers to where there would be 10 seeders before I would consider removing it.

    And a huge fucking thank you to whoever the hell came back online to let me get some obscure TV show called The Legend Of Mick Dodge. I started to dl when there were only 2 seeders. Then it soon became 0 seeders. I held out because I wasn’t able to find a trusted torrent for the show. So I ended up sitting on that for a bit over a month. Then one morning, I checked my list and found to my surprise that both season 1 and season 2 were complete. I was shocked when I found out that there were now 7 seeders including me. And because of the annoying wait I had to endure, I made sure to seed the MFer for 2+ months before transferring it.

    ((Turns out, the TV show is on archive.org https://archive.org/details/the-legend-of-mick-dodge/))





















  • a Dell OptiPlex 5040 that I saved from the dumpster at work because I’m a cheapskate.

    You are absolutely not a cheapskate for doing that. That’s being resourceful. You save money that way and can put it towards other things that matter more. Nothing wrong with that. Why spend a few hundred dollars for a new laptop/desktop when you can just get one used that will run for another 2-4 years before it dies?
