Ya kno … I bet since Ballmer (et.al) wants so much for Vista to succeed ..

What are the chances we see XP all over the torrent sites in the coming days ?

We spell it “balut” here.
It is a duck egg that has been taken off the nest a couple of days before it is hatched and boiled.

hey WiseGuy i want 2:49 of my life back …
did the guy in the video say blumpkin?
I have Azureus. It kicks seven different kinds of ass and is just as free. Remind me why I’d want to switch to another BitTorrent client? Especially one at version 0.70? Get to 1.0 and then we’ll talk.
@LordRobin
Thankfully here is somone who is on topic and providing a useful opinion.
Azureus is filled with features, but it is a slow, bloated piece of java code that you need a good system to run. On even an older G4 it brings your system to a crawl.
Not a big deal if you only have one nice modern desktop you use–but I prefer to use an old G4 to download and store torrents and Azureus is glacial…
I’ve basically tried all the bit torrent clients on mac and have settled for Bits on Wheel. My only problem with transmission is that after it finish downloading if i’m not at the computer for a while it prevents my comp from going to sleep.
