Most assuredly, sir. :victory:

That's cool you got an upgrade!

Noticed on your "drama" listing you haven't seen Attack No. 1
Now you can go grab that big batch torrent.

Not really.

It's the bottom rung of the DSL ladder, but I'm cheap so.... :beaten:

I just saw an AT&T commercial offering 1.5M/3.0M/6.0M... :sweat:

I have the same DSL speed from Verizon. I checked with AT&T about their ad and it's only good if you are in an AT&T area which I'm not and in addition I believe you have to be an AT&T regular phone subscriber.

Yup.

I tried to sign up with AT&T and automatically got re-routed to Verizon.

Oh well.

He's implying that I won't like it 'cause there's no Yonekura Ryoko.

Likely, but not always true.

You're a big Nakama Yukie fan though, no? So the drama doesn't always have to have Yonekura Ryoko in it, right?

How about Maki-chan? Are you planning on seeing her upcoming Akane dorama?

Nakama Yukie is a very good actress, particularly at comedy, but I still have to contemplate about watching any of her dramas... With my gal, there's no question. ;)

I don't even know who that is. :beaten: *dodges debris thrown at head*

LOL

It's kind of funny and interesting how we all have our favorites. This JDorama website is a real eye-opener. For years had thought that all these soap operas were pathetic. But after watching a good one for real, found out they are cool. This website and the people here, are a great way to learn about new stuff (even though it might be rather old like Tokyo Elevator Girl or even GTO).

Oooh, Tokyo Elevator Girl... :bonk:

Miyazawa Rie at her cherubic best... Wish I had a good copy of that instead of the 14-year old VCR recording transferred to DVD... :sweat:

Now, a drama with both Yukie and Ryoko in it........ THAT I would like to see!

There isn't one yet is there? :crazy:

I think i'll have to make myself a Ryoko vs Yukie sig image.

Nope, that's not it.

That's not what im implying either, although it did cross my mind.

It's more plot related than actress related. I'd talk smack of the recent plot offerings, but this is not the thread for it.

Back to BT.

i just crossed the 375GB down/380GB up mark w/ Azureus. :woot:

Haru to Natsu

Okay, back to BT: I'll download Azureus and try it out... But maybe not today. :sweat:

some beginner tips for when you do,

-dont run any other BT apps at the same time.
-set your max up/down to 15-25% under your max
-change your listen port to something OTHER than 3446 or whatever the default it (same w/ the BT you're using now, non-reserved port of course)

if you decide to keep it...
-d/l the Swingweb UI for remote control (Dochira can help you w/ config)

Interesting! I'll check it out.

Staying on topic: My Ringu download is slow. rom 0 to max 20kB/s :(

And I can't port forward on my office's router :(

Here's my user detail page at a Grateful Dead torrent site. The Avatar and the Sig really hack those guys off sometimes. :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

I've had no trouble with Verizon and just signed up for my 2nd year.

My d/l speeds are great for everygthing except BT. There are very very rare moments when there may be 20 or so others on the swarm that I achieve 30KBS. But normally it's around 15. It stands to reason that since you are sharing so much bandwidth with the u/l at the same time you can never get the super speed that you get from a plain straightforward D/L :grumble: . Fortunately more d/l are shifting to places like yousendit where DSL can really shine. :woot:
