Topic: Note to self

Stop running BitTorrent for hours and hours when you are not home!

I just noticed how extremely slow the website becomes when BitTorrent is running. It steals all the upload bandwidth and on top of everything uses UDP which makes it even harder to get any TCP packets through. I really must stop doing that. It makes PunBB appear slow :/

I thought that you could specify a maximum upload speed Kennel in bittorrent. Maybe you should try that option, then you could still download whatever you are downloading :)

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

You can in the windows version, but not in the linux curses version :/

Edit: I'll be damned. You can do it there too. Whee!
