      Make sure you guys upgrade to the latest version of BitTorrent as a new official version came out this past week! It has tons of bug fixes and network/filesystem/CPU/memory optimizations. Also, the rule-of-thumb is that you don't close the BitTorrent download window until you have uploaded as much as you have downloaded. The new official client lists your total upload and your total download.

    From the trailer it looks like they're competent film makers. I can't comment on the storyline, cos really, the trailer doesn't actually say much about it, its just showing "Look we can copy the stuff the Matrix did".

    I was going to complain about "Why don't these people write their own stories, based on their own created characters, etc etc, then we might have some new worthwhile cinema and new ideas coming though", but I guess there are people who do that, they just don't get on the front page of /.

    I dunno, I guess I have the same feeling about professional cover bands too.

    Their disclaimer says "Although copyrighted materials (e.g. music and sound fx) do appear in this film, we hope that the spirit of goodwill will prevail in allowing us to feature their work on our movie in the hopes that it will promote their own talents."

    I like the idea, but it seems far fetched that the copyright holders will actually go for this...

    Wow, they're letting anyone into Mensa these days I guess. Any way to moderate someone "-1, Looney Tunes"?
