Sealion you could always try electro shock therapy as a cure lol

@cheatos and slikrapid: Firstly, I'm gonna ask around at the link and see if there's something for me there. LOL.
i THINK that cumpulsive surfing may fall into my catagory. LOL

also, I think that I do have a bandwidth control program and yes, I did install it last year. And did it ever control my bandwidth. I experiemented on a couple of things. One of them being my download client and it did work quite well.

I also gave it a try on Firefox and did the same as well.

I think that I got it as a crack. It's called Bandwidth Control Enterprise.

I'd hate to use that thing again. It controls it waaaay to much if the setttings aren't correctly done.

It's easy to use, ya. But I like strong and fast speeds while browsing.

I guess I'll try what I've tried before in the past.....to get myself to not download anything. Period. LOL.


I don't know about electro shock therapy.

That'lll hurt. .....OUCH!!!!!

I don't think that will work lol.Read all the comments and I can say I had the same problem.
Seal Lion it's simple.To forget about downloading you should do something else.I usually edit pictures with gimp/look for new SB-i avatars/look for new songs on grooveshark or reinforce my youtube anime collection(favorites I'm to lazy to make vids atm don't even know how lol)

[SealLion]

yup.
your right.
Contributing time towards other things is more productive.

i'm downloading way too much pr0n

[starforce]

I'm with you
i Suffers from the same damn virus
computer becomes my world

I used to be like that too but I started thinking "There will always be new stuff to download. I can't have it all so..." I deleted everything. Based on the fact that hard drive will never be sufficient for anything wheather it's audio/video/games/images etc.
I always think of my hard drive as a "temporary" place to store the stuff I want and If there are items which i wanna keep, I just store them on to a dvd. So now, when i download a movie for ex and I don't watch it in the next day or so, i'll delete it and re-download it when I wanna see that again.

Well you can set a target and buy yourself 1 hdd a year or so. That should slow down your download thirst, if you reach your hdd capacity delete your older content and restrain yourself from buying a new hdd immediate till you reach your traget year I am a big fan of raw blue-ray content !!

Lol..depends.How many gigs per day?

Newtons Laws of downloading.

1st law
" A torrent remains to be in a state of downloading or seeding unless the Hard Disk gets filled "

2nd law.
" Downloading is proportional to bandwidth.Greater the bandwidth, more is the urge to download.Lesser the bandwidth , lesser is the urge."

3rd Law.
"For every new tracker released , we have an equal number of Cheating techniques"

Daam i am good

Ohh learning Physics helps afterall

[.anakin.]

@kelly: and sooooo true :)

[slikrapid]

original 3 Newton's laws of motion:

# In the absence of force, a body either is at rest or moves in a straight line with constant speed.
# A body experiencing a force F experiences an acceleration a related to F by F = ma, where m is the mass of the body. Alternatively, force is proportional to the time derivative of momentum.
# Whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Wannabe laws of torrenting:

In the absence of one downloader, a seeded torrent either is at rest or active by moving data towards another downloader in a packet by packet way with all available bandwidth

A torrent of a size S experiencing a download, experiences at least one average downloading speed v related to S by S = SUMM 0-i [v(i)*t(i)], where t is the total time the downloader was receiving data from uploader i. Alternatively, size S is equal or greater than data received from every other uploader of the same torrent. This law also applies if torrent is partially downloaded in which case S is replaced by Sp (partial size of the torrent)

Whenever a torrent exerts a download D upon the swarm, it receives an upload U from the swarm. The total D & U are equal in size and opposite in direction considering the downloader's connection to at least the first node

WTF.....???

That last one you gave slik I didn't understand at all.

[kelly]

WTF.....???

That last one you gave slik I didn't understand at all.

Even Newton would find it difficult i guess (j/k)

Whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Whenever a torrent exerts a download D upon the swarm, it receives an upload U from the swarm. The total D & U are equal in size and opposite in direction considering the downloader's connection to at least the first node

If i am able to decipher it correctly , then this is what it implies
First body=Torrent, Force=Download,Swarm=Second body

Seriously that was a good one

[anon]

WTF.....???

That last one you gave slik I didn't understand at all.

For every upload there's a download. If a seeder is moving data up, then a leecher is moving it down.
