I'll take Belgian or German drivers above UK drivers any day. The Italians though, they can all fuckoff. They're maniacs on the road.

So by your logic, if we're all the same animal and there's nothing special about British drivers, it must also follow that there is nothing deficient about them either, so why mention the British aspect in the first place?
Your logic is flawed.

The stats would disagree with you, and I'd disagree with you about the Belgians.

Actually, I was coming from the angle of "human animals".

Take an indian child and bring him up in blighty and he'll drive like a brit. Same with any other human. But yep, I can see where there's a mix.

The point I tried (and failed because my language mustn't have been clear enough) was there's nothing special about the British - in that we're all the same animal - and if you bring another human animal into that system then they'll act the same...

...meh.


Edit:

Good. You're catching on! I don't care where people are from and I don't assign credit based on anything so frivolous and nebulous as nationality. :)

You're talking bollocks again.

You attempted to be edgy and oh so different by singling out the British as bad drivers. Statistically we aren't.

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder for whatever reason against the British. The question is, if you dislike us (and yourself) so much, why not move to somewhere that better fits your requirement for other humans? The Arctic maybe?

I'm currently in London and I swear to god you're trying to off every tourist with your driving. The lights, street layout, driving on the wrong side and the fact that one in every five car is a noiseless sneaky Prius just makes me think that you're out to get us.

I've made quite a few observations whilst I've been here, so will make a thread once I return to my safe haven

uTorrent works for me, though I only have it open for a few minutes at a time as I don't download much any more..

Leaving your keys at home meaning I have to wait outside work like a tramp.

I don't think you understand the concept of torrents. And uTorrent is gash now.

What?

In what way do I not understand the concept? Download shit, watch shit. Open torrent file, Utorrent downloads files, done. Not sure what else you would want, every single torrent program does that so who cares which one you use?

I don't much care about seeding, I will leave that to the basement dwellers. Or are you implying there is some sort of code of honour among pirates?!

London is nothing compared to Paris. There you can be crossing the road, with a green light telling you you can cross, yet the traffic still has priority. So you get driven at. A lot.

I remember Amsterdam fondly, anyone on a bike is god, every other fucker is cannon fodder including cars, pedestrians, planes, ships etc.

You're a twat who thinks the world revolves around you; we get it. Not a code of honour at all but it's courteous (to say the least) to seed something you have downloaded for more than "a few minutes". The "concept" of torrents that you're failing to grasp is peer to peer transfers where everybody's experience is made better when more and more people leave a torrent seeding after they've downloaded it. See my first sentence for the main jist, though.

haha, no.

You seem to be agitated by my choice. No idea why and I am certainly not going to do it any different because some bedwetter on the internet says I should.

Agreed, I seed for as long as my disk space holds out.

there will come a day when we will seed... but it is not this day...

courtesy among thieves (or pirates i guess) is surely a joke?

Torrents are not just used for pirating but I guess you are blind to that fact.

I am not sure how seeding a film torrent will help with the distribution of some other file but ok.

I was not referring to your choice just the fact that torrent technology is not just for pirating but most people think that anyone who mentions torrents is a pirate which is wrong.

But you're happy to take those "bedwetter's" files. You're a classy guy.

Yes, yes I am.

If I am gaming then I don't want to have to also have torrents running in the back ground, if I am not gaming then I don't have the PC on. While I am downloading it is also uploading on my 20mb Up, plenty imo.

While I realise some people spend their entire non working lives sat in front of their PCs, I would rather not have it switched on if I am not using it.

(Not that I should have to explain my personal fucking choice regarding illegal activity, Jesus)

I usually stick my downloads on in the morning do shit - go Uni and stuff or do some work and browse forums by then shit has downloaded and seeded for a couple of hours and then I delete it all when I want to start gaming.

Works in everyone's favour because of means in focusing on seeding the latest shiiiii'

The whole seeding thing for me depends on the quality of the torrent - if it already has 1000+ seeders then I tend to just download and go as there are already plenty of people sharing so my little old connection isn't really going to affect things too much in the grand scheme of things - but if it only has a few I'll keep sharing, at least til the ratio hits 2 anyway.

But tbh I've noticed despite having 40Mbit down and 10Mbit up running torrents can make the connection a bit gash for anyone else in the house, so I've got Transmission running on my server and just leech overnight when no one else is using it.

true, but i would imagine the majority of peoples interaction with torrents are not to download the latest version of Ubuntu
