Public Domain from Outer Space

Black_by_Pubic_Deman writes "It is a work of art that truly represents the nadir of film making; a movie so bad that it's good. It has been labelled 'The Worst Movie Ever' by the Golden Turkey Awards and is also the winner of two notable Razzies. Ed Wood's classic and every Slashdot reader's favorite movie Plan 9 from Outer Space is now in the Public Domain and available as a free download thanks to the fine folks over at Archive.org."

    It was on TV late at night about 15 years ago when I was still a teen. I was wondering what that was until I saw the movie with Depp.

    Still, I don't know if Plan 9 is truly the worst movie ever. I have to agree with the MST3K crew that there are several others even worse, like Manos.

    What I'd like to know is why archive.org, king of bulk data transfer, doesn't automatically provide bittorrents of all of their larger files. It would have to save them some stupidly large amount of money in bandwidth costs.

    Any program relying on (nontrivial) preemptive multithreading will be buggy.

    What about the new trackerless torrent protocol though? They wouldnt need to run any tracker at all.
