educating myself

The other day I realized my CD/DVD drive was not working. I have only used this maybe 25 times in the past 3 years, so yeah, it was a little upsetting. But, that had cause to go to the local computer guy to have a new one installed. This time I got a cd/dvd burner. I probably won't use that any more often than I used the CD burner, but it was one of those 'gotta have it' days.

Whilst I was in the shop, there was another customer, whom it appeared to be a regular. I was talking about pirating DVD movies and such and how to get around the copyright locks. He proceeded to tell me about BitTorrent and about downloading and installing a client and then basically getting anything I want; movies, music, audio books, and most importantly, a program called 1 click dvd copy pro and the key.
I guess it is time to educate myself on this matter.

I downloaded and installed Azuerus - now called Vuze. I searched and found the program the guy told me about and then I thought, "hmmmm, I missed Sex and the City when it was in town, I wonder if that is on here."
Well of course it is! So, I read the comments on various uploads and found one that had all positive and started the download.
Well shitShitSHIT! It was 5:50am and my "unlimited download time" on this fucking satellite connection is from 3am to 6am. That put a halt to that download...
...for now anyway. :)

In the meantime, I guess I need to educate myself on the BitTorrent terminology.
It's a whole new world again.
Today I love computer technology.
