People are lame, when you’re a stranger

So, I did a good thing.

I found that the only place you can score… a thing… is this private, elite, sexy torrent tracker place. It’s pretty well-known in the community, something to do with pigs, they’re not too keen on it being spread about so I’m being vague.

Anyway, I whined about this a bit in a thread on Demonoid (a less secretive and elite torrent tracker), and suggested that if and when I had acquired this thing I would re-seed it there.

So then I did, and I did… only to field a billion people asking for invites to this place. Invites, which I not only don’t have (you gotta seed up 10GB and keep a 1.05 ratio, it’s very exacting). Indeed I outlined this in my post. “Do not ask me,” I said, “for I cannot give that which I cannot have.” I got mine of a dude in an IRC channel, you see.

Shit, I even got some dude asking me to explain to him how to use the IRCs. Did wikipedia and google go down while I wasn’t looking?

In people-who-aren’t-lame-news: someone on the PA boards is doing a podcast-type-thing (commentary on JLU episodes, soooo nerdy~) and needed somewhere to host them. The first one’s up in /podcasts right now, I guess maybe more are to come?

I wonder if this’ll dent my ~2TB monthly bandwidth allowance? Yay for hosting providers over-selling. Dreamhost would so very go out of business if a tenth of their customers actually used that much bandwidth.
