When holiday strikes
June 5th, 2008 by akusukamcchickenI have a love hate relationship when it comes to semester holidays.
I hate semester holidays coz that’s the time I’ll be bored.
But, what I love about semester breaks is that I can download as many movies as I want. To do that, I used to use LimeWire, a p2p software. P2p means peer to peer. Basically the files that you download comes from people who use that same software. The more people who have that file, the faster you download.
After about 2 months of using LimeWire, I decided to uninstall it coz it’s so fucking slow. 2kb persecond for 700mb file? What the fish? For 1 movie to complete, it takes 2 weeks!
Then I switched to Ares, another p2p software. This sofware is quite ok. I get up to 60kb per second for 700mb download, sometimes 90kb. So, my downloading time is cut down to 4 hours. Not too shabby. I thought I can’t get any faster than this.
But I was sorely mistaken. Get a load of this. It’s kinda blur, so click it to enhance.
That’s the wonder of XUNLEI Thunder. A torrent software. Faster that BitComet, BitTorrent or UTorrent.
1 movie for 1 hour.Huhuhu..
I got a feeling that this semester break won’t be so dull after all..
