Whee!
I did some more tweaking on my ADSL modem, and I'm now getting 18808kbps downstream and 1023kbps upstream.
But that's not the good part. The good part is I'm downloading anime* on Bittorrent** right now at 1.2Mbytes per second.
...
Was downloading anime. It finished while I was typing this post. Zzzzzip!
* The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
** Actually Azureus. Update: Dropped out, and reconnected at 18999. A new Pixy speed record!

Sorry for going WAY off topic, but I can't get to a whole bunch of mu.nu sites. I got here, and to the mu.nu main site, but not blogs.
???
And will you fly here and fix my modem so I can have decent transfer speeds? ;-)

Fixed! mu.nu, that is. Not much I can do about your modem, I'm afraid.

I think there's something about The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya... I got 7 kbps when I was d/l'g it earlier.
Sure, that might not SOUND like much, particularly when compared to your godlike speeds, but considering that I'm using dialup, and that it's 2 kbps faster than the best sustained speed I've ever gotten, I'll take it.

I think it's the sheer number of people DL'ing it. That is one popular show.
Gee, I wonder why? ;-)

One thing I've noticed is that torrents tend to be much better seeded than, say, a year ago. So when you come to download a show like this, instead of finding 20 seeds and 100 downloaders, you'l have 500 seeds and 100 downloaders. Which makes a hell of a difference.

Ubu Roi, I'm afraid I can't tell you why it's popular... I haven't seen it yet. I'm keeping up with the d/l's, but I haven't had a chance to watch, other than the first five minutes of the first episode, which I am PRAYING is something like a student-made 'film within a film.'
Because if it isn't, there's something wrong with anime fans worldwide.

Not sayin' nothin'.

Well, that's a given.
