You wanna know how to tell if you’re downloading a slow torrent? I now get excited when it tops 1.0 kbps. There’s only about 5MB left but I’m starting to think it would be quicker to swim to the single person seeding and ask them to just copy the file onto a disk for me. That or wait for continental drift to create Neo-pangaea so I can just walk.
Recently Australia has started to see a kind of evolution of the way we are presented with television. By this I mean networks putting more effort (and money) into allowing us to see programs soon after they are aired in the US. Of course the marketing speak like “streamed direct from the US” sometimes makes you wonder how they can consider a week later to be “direct” but this is easy to forgive.
In my last post on Deluge I commented that one of the things the BitTorrent client was lacking was a web interface. That situation has been rectified by a recent plugin that provides WebUI capabilities. After taking a look at what is offered I can say that it looks very promising but isn’t quite at a stage where you’d want to use it for anything but the most basic administration of your torrents.
