[ale] bittorrent issues with Bellsouth

[James Sumners]

The torrent was probably poorly seeded. When you download via BT, you
are limited by the seeds' connections. If there is only a couple of
seeds, and they all have slow upload bandwidth (e.g. people on
DSL/Cable), then you will get a slow download speed.

I got tired of that garbage and signed up with a premium newsgroup provider.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
