Sad geek moment

So does anybody else out there download multiple different torrents for the same show and set them all off in a race to see which one downloads the fastest?

No, I didn't think so.

In my defence, it is more fun than watching the NZ cricket team.

All the Australia-England tests are shown on pay-TV here. I have to say that when the ashes test and the NZ-Sri Lanka tests were on in parallel, I tended to switch between them at the end of each over. I am pretty sure that the Ashes series rates better here than the local game.

For what its worth, the pdtv download was faster than the hdtv. I actually only raced them to 20% completion this time - the winner got to live on to complete the whole course.

The Ashes always comes first in the sports news. It goes: 'England lost again! Warnie took truckloads of wickets and Ponting scored tunza runs! And NZ lost.'

I've watched virtually every moment of the Ashes. The cricket was of such a high standard.
