Right now I’m downloading the movie Sydney White, as of course I’m a huge Amanda Bynes fan. Don’t worry, I’ll buy the movie on DVD when it comes out (I actually own two bought copies of Hairspray, so there!).
According to my calculations, by the time I download the movie once, I will have uploaded it twice. In 14 hours, it’s downloaded 297 megabytes and uploaded 405 megabytes. It’s also caused the wireless driver to fail once and my card to lose connection to the modem once as well!
I have 10 ports open in the hope that more people downloading from me will equal more people uploading to me, but it looks like the Bittorrent theory falls down here. And thanks to the (excellent and very clever) way that Bittorrent handles downloads in segments, I can’t even watch what I’ve already downloaded!
Oh well. I should have the rest of the movie in 19 hours time.
