Bah, I should be working on my CISCO assignment, but I would have to reboot into Linux so I can run terminal commands.

However, Ive got a torrent seeding at a mad rate right now, and its on a private tracker, so I need to get it to at least 1:1. Even at its mad seeding rate, it will still be 4-8hrs before its done.

Ugh, I hate decisions

You're seeding? Come on, just worry about downloads. Do you CISCO assignment.

Also: I never seed. EVER.

It's how you get caught torrenting.

I'd have to say reboot. I'm sure that if you don't get a 1:1 ratio on one torrent it will ruin your status at the tracker. Worst comes to worst, just torrent something else after and seed the living hell out of it.

So this is what they call another endless night.
So tired of believing if this is wrong or right.
I think this cause is lost, I wish that I could sleep.
I feel like some kind of shadow, another slave to the week.

Uhh.  Don't have anywhere to ssh to?  Uhh.  Yeah.

You have a dilemma.  Or try and install some virtual machine onto your computer without rebooting.

Just ask a friend to give you ssh access temporarily

You are a terrible person for not seeding. And there has yet to be a case brought to court for someone torrenting.

Ill have to seed it 1:1 eventually. Well, at least 1:0.7. They use a global ratio, as well as a per torrent ratio. If your global falls below .75, you risk a ban (normally get a little while to get it up) and if you have a "Hit and run" (not seeding to at least .7) you get a warning. Three warnings, banhammer.

I pride myself on my pure account, not to mention the special treatment that comes with it (Uploader status, seniority, access to a second tracking server, etc)

I could probably SSH the labs server, I would just have to txt my instructor to get the pass.

But Im to lazy. I think Ill just seed this one out, and get up 20min early and do it before class.

I dont have to get up till 11am anyways, so 1030 wouldnt be to bad.

I don't know what CISCO is, but it sounds more important than your illegal activities!

Use PeerGuardian.  You'll be safe from the cops, and safer from me, provided that you seed.  I hate leechers.

What ISP do you have/where are you? I know EA is probably the worse for their content. They are excessively protective.

PeerGuardian is shit pointless. It offers no real protection, just blocked corporate IPs. And with the MediaDefender incident, we already know thats not going to do anything, since no one is really dumb enough to try catch pirates from their main corporate office.

Not to mention, it uses system resources, and blocks DHT. Both of which I would rather not have happen.
