Enter Azureus

While I really like the concept of BitTorrent, the official client always hangs for me eventually (usually somewhen after 5 to 30min). I suspect it’s some sort of multi-threading / locking issue with Python (as I’m using a it on a SMP-machine). Thus enters Azureus, a Java-client, which seems much nicer anyway.

Mail Delivery Failed

Gotten about 50+ mails today from various “Mail Delivery Subsystem”s because of virus-faked “From:” addresses while only getting about 10 infected mails. If that’s the same for everyone else then the error-messages are taking up more bandwidth than the virii themselves…

That looks familiar

I was bored yesterday and took a look at Tron’s SmartRipper 2.41 source. Parts if the IFO-parser for example are identical to my vStrip code (e.g. angle detection) which I know I have written! 🙁

<sarcasm>Well done, Tron…</sarcasm>
