How do Torrents work ?

[jnuts]

azureus is a resource hog...i never liked it.

there sure is an inner circle. the best torrent sites on the net are private, and you need to be invited to them, share as much as you download, and maybe donate 5 bucks here and there.

but....oh is it worth it.

Dual Core 4800+ machine w/8gig ram... I've got resources to spare.

Nah, I just search on torrentz. I'm mostly a dvd-rip movie guy. I keep a bunch on a big file server at the house, play them through a chipped x-box on the big screen.

About $2500 for the desktop (8gig, 4x250gig SATA, 7600GT, 2xLCD)

The file servers are old...bought off ebay or just parts. A Dual celeron system with 1TB in it. A couple of rack mounts running shit. Cheap, cheap off of ebay.

Laptops.... argh. The last one I had bought for me (long story) was a Toshiba. The damn thing ran hot. Eventually fried the video card. Come to find out it was a long standing problem but it shit the bed after the warranty was out.

Depends if you want a laptop as a desktop replacement or just something to mess around with. I'm a huge beiliever in massive screen resolution and tons of memory. Those are the two things that I'll always work backward from. Dell and Toshiba tend to top my shopping lists.

I used to have seven home boxes but I grew tired of the heat and noise since I don't have A/C. Now I have a fanelss NLX form factor Celeron 400 FreeBSD box w/a big disk as file server and dual Xeon 1.8ghz/1.5GB RAM XP box as workstation. I run Freebsd and Ubuntu thru vmware guests on it. I need to get dual 19-20" LCDs so I can always have the vmware guest on it's own screen.
I have a Cobalt Qube2 that I'm trying to get NetBSD on for my fileserver.
