    Their web service will only let you download two simultaneous files

    wtf that's pretty weird, shit any money saved by that has got to be eaten up by the equipment, maintanence, and electrical cost of the extra hardware to sit there sniffing for http downloads. are you sure it isn't the standard browser limitation of 3 connections per server (one usually reserved for downloading pages/embedded files, the other two used for embedded or file downloads)

    ...who read "BT" as "BitTorrent"? When I saw, "BT to Offer Free Internet Calls", I thought, "Wow! Voice over BitTorrent! What'll they think of next?"

    Am I just drunk or did a /. editor change their login name? I have been reading /. for about 5 years now and I have never heard of "samzenpus", yet they appear to be user number 5.

    I'm seriously not trolling, am I going mad?
