HoTMetal Pro HTML Editor

Why did I read that as "hotmeal pro". WYSIWYG editors from that era had pretty weird names, huh? HotDog comes to mind.

Estonia and Denmark straight up switched 2nd and 6th places. Good for Estonia. Sad for us Danes.

They've been emailing me daily since I began the account deletion progress. Of course it's one of those crappy "it takes 7 days just because, and if you log back in, we restart the timer!".
For comparison I recently deleted my NordVPN account and it was instant.

They'll still give her millions of dollars though.

It doesn't take too long with smaller <1GB releases.

EDIT: I am pretty happy about the one at 755 ratio. 78GB * 755 = 57TB. That alone is 35% of everything I've uploaded since I installed qBittorrent in February.

And I gotta say, I love the attempted support by you and others. Peace, love, and humptiness, forever!

Unfortunately not more I can do regarding the router, each one is different after all.

I use IRC for most of my searches and only use torrents for hard to find things. I’d love to see stuff like Linux distros, the internet archives, and other seemingly important (legal) causes, if I can get them to work consistently.

I don't know which IRC/XDCC service you use, but I only recently heard of https://www.xdcc.eu/ which is pretty nice. Back when I watched anime in the early 00s I used to do most things via IRC, just so convenient to look up groups on like anidb.net (of course still possible, example: subsplease -> XDCC) and get it straight from the source.

I agree with Linux distros. I'd prefer that all of them used torrents besides their regular mirrors. Distrowatch has a tracker, and then there's FOSStorrents, but there's no guarantee ones distro of choice ends up there.

What @dmention7@lemm.ee wrote: qBittorrent can pretty easily punch a hole through your router if you can enable UPnP on it. Don't forget to enable it in qBittorrent as well, although I think it's on by default.
If that's not an option, then you might have to spend a bit of time setting up port forwarding manually, which has always been a pain, but once you learn it, it's quite easy.

After I've gotten 1gbit fiber I tend to try and hit ratio 1000:1 on anything I seed. Back when I was on xDSL connections before fiber, I tried to hit 1.1:1 because my thinking was if everyone tried to do that, there'd literally never be data loss.
I recently tried getting "The Sinking of the Laconia" miniseries and it took 8 days to get it. But I'm not member of a private tracker where it was available anyway, so sometimes public is better as long as one is patient.

Jeg fandt lidt om det. Og ja, nogle gange finder jeg mere end en version af det samme produkt på deres side til en anden pris i eksempelvis en anden kategori, manglende billeder osv. Svært at vide om så rent faktisk får det man bestiller når det virker så skummelt.

Ah shit. Jeg ved godt kundeloyalitet ikke betyder en skid for firmaerne, men jeg har handlet primært hos computersalg siden 2007 før de blev til en "mega store" eller hvad de nu kalder sig, så det er trist at høre.

EDIT: Købte en 4TB seagate skyhawk fra dem for lidt under et års tid siden, juli 2024, så var da glad for at se mit drev passere testen:
