 Weird CK fallout
Due to the host, of course and is nothing new in general. However, since I see this for the first time, I felt like sharing it.
If nothing else, now you may see how my screen looks like (Firewall and AntiVirus censored).

How can you look at that screen? If I look at a blackish background with whitish text for too long, next time I look at a 'clean' screen, I see lines everywhere!
Hehe.

LOL @ Mole. Dunno... then is my screen probably less burning than yours.
That with the scheme I do from two reasons: the eyes (less color, less powerful beam = less damage) and the monitor itself (less color, lower temperature = possibly longer life).
A problem: many sites and programs are not compatible with such schemes.

yea, something blew up yesterday. Both my websites were totally down for a little bit. Everything looks ok again for now. Who knows, if I get a raise I might just move to a dedicated host.

I didn't have (or at least I haven't noticed) this many fallouts even in Bulgaria. I'm on host.bg and I'm fine with it.

You are strange lad with such a desktop theme.
uTorrent is pretty good. Although ive realised torrenting itself is only good if you a) have a quick connection, b) do not have wireless.

100Mbps in full power here.  But then again, sometimes it depends on the server itself how fast deliverance will be.
Yet I cannot agree high speed is a requirement for torrents to be useful. I know many people who're downloading a single thing for days. It would be nice if it were faster, but it doesn't change the fact they get what they want in the end.

Holy poop. 100mbps? I didnt even know 24mbps was overtaken yet.
Server speed? Isnt torrent a p2p thing that essentially makes your computer download multiple pieces of the file from multiple computers simultaneously?

In Bulgaria, they use LAN to provide internet.  And who pays enough, can have even an optic cable (1Gbps, I guess) with (again, I guess) fully functional speed.
100Mbps is 100 Mega+ bits per second. Max about 11,9 MBps (Mega+ bytes per second), although I haven't hit more than 7,8MBps ever. I guess it's due to my P3-ish configuration or/and due to my HDD that just can't take it any faster.
By "server speed" I meant usual downloads, not torrents.
