Dude, Im still trying to figure out WTF happened on this clip : http://bubblare.se/dr_hanke/
Don't hit me with the hockey team shtick, I'm gonna be at the mental institution soon you insensitive clod!
From my experience, your torrent issue is not Verizon's network problem, it is the woefully underpowered router (for torrents with LOTS of connections needed) that comes standard with FiOS.
I was having the same problem, then I took an old Pentium 2 rig and put PFsense on it (eliminating the stock router, and heck it even picked up an ip via DHCP on the network card in that box with no cloning), and presto, I could move a Terabyte in a month probably Up/down if I focused on finding torrents. But I'm not gonna max my connection out 24/7/365, it's still residential. (have moved 800 Gigabytes in a month without a fidget, I seeded some linux iso's for 20 days to test if VZ capped, and I have the RRD graphs to prove it)

Got a source for those, sgt_doom? Cuz those would be really intriguing if that is for real.
"i already dont like google video because it doesnt let you right click and save their stuff. now there is going to be more drm and commercials? i think my response is clear: and the horse you rode in on."
Dude / Dudette, JUST DOWNLOAD THE GOOGLE VIDEO PLAYER AND YOU CAN SAVE THE VIDEO. And DRM? Yes, but at least this DRM doesn't have an expiration date, and the program to view the data is free (as in $$$) at least.
It isn't perfect yet, but it is better than before and looks sustainable long-term.
I swear, with how often people say "Nvidia is better than VIA" or "Intel is better than Nvidia" etc, etc. I think the chipsets perform differently based on altitude!
This is no joke for me though. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa (mountainous) and I had a very nice P4 based Celeron 2.0 Ghz machine on a VIA chipset, gave me very few problems at all, even ran games like Call of Duty very well.
Then I proceeded to be a good brother and gave the machine to my sister who lives in Boston, Ma (Sea level). And it was crap! It started freezing after using it for awhile, the BIOS was having issues, the network card would drop connections. It felt like a PC Chips board, but it was an XFX!!!! I didn't even ship the board, I took it up personally when I visited in my car!!!!!!
So altitude is all I got at this point... (still screwy)
I can still remember sitting at a terminal and doing a quick check to find that the college's mainframe currently had between 300 and 350 people logged on, and it just kept on chugging -- and this on a machine with (IIRC) about an 8 or 10 MHz CPU and (in round numbers) one megabyte of RAM...
All I can say for a comparison to put this statistic to an even more impressive degree, an original Nintendo GAME system had a 4 mhz processor.... (aka NES) So could you imagine 350 people sharing time between 3 Nintendos? Probably not.

I have gone all Linux & BSD on my home machines, but I had Windows for many years before that AND NEVER HAD 1 F***** VIRUS, CRACK, OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE happen to the machine and I had no AV protection. My friends and family asked "How? What AV Sofware you use?" I said "My Brain." Education is the first thing in is this matter all the way.
I just cannot fathom how people have a deal about a $%$%$FREE ip0d9$)#($#$, then it says go to a web page, and download something, and they do it? I mean this is equated to someone on the street coming up to you, shouting "I will give you a free ipod, just inhale what is in my test tube (with a biohazard sign on the side)," then the person does it, gets SARS and asks "Why?"
Teacher: WHY IS THE NETWORK DOWN? I CANNOT SEE ANY GRADES, MY EMAIL, OR INFECT THE SCHOOL NETWORK TODAY!
Jimmy: It was me teacher.
Teacher: Jimmy, what did you do!
(IT guy running in with a burned up server held by those tongs from chemistry)
IT Guy: We've located why the network has slowed down. *gulp* We've been slashdotted
Teacher: Not, not, but...
IT Guy: It was.
Teacher: JIMMY YOU ARE GOING TO THE ADMINISTRATOR AND CLEANING UP THIS MESS, AND I DON'T MEAN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMIN EITHER! STRAIGHT TO THE BOFH FOR YOU!!
Jimmy: Anything but that, please, all I did was make a site about penguins!
Back in my day sonny, we used to have these "portable" laptops like the Sony Vaio! I loved my PCG-505TX. With the right battery & management, it would run for 3-4 hours! Maybe it was a little slow, but we used Desktops for the heavy work damnit!
Now you today have your laptops with them triple screens that unfold, octo Intel P64's, 28 TB of RAM, and a 1 Petabyte RAID array! Jeez, you kids have to work in teams of 3 to move them, and 2 to set up the legs on the bottom!
I laugh once again that everything old is new again! (think 1980's)
Perhaps 17 with manufacturing included? Or this man hasn't updated in so long he is running some kind of behemoth big-iron Cray or IBM?
I don't know where the hell that statistic is from either. My AMD64 3500+, Geforce 4 ti4200, and 2 sticks of PC3200 RAM uses about 200 watts of power. I recommend trying this thing called the kill-a-watt from thinkgeek, it really is nice for finding out how much power stuff uses. I am not going into anymore of a promo-mode besides that today though:)
Anyway, a hair dryer uses when it is on FYI 1359 watts, a toaster 800 watts, and even a gas dryer uses 500 watts! So don't bitch about desktop computers.
If Bell can fall, then this event only proves that Google will someday fall. It is all just a great progression of humanity. And hopefully before that fall a little more technology will come to push mankind farther. Good job Department 1127!

Wow, you ARE a Mean Ass Troll.
He stopped that way, way back in the 1980s; this is a DOUBLE WOPR with CHEESY US Government Security!
Would you like a quote of FRY'S with that?

Yup, its gonna spread faster than the speed of light... dare I say Warp?
No it happened, AS I WAS THERE! As soon as I delivered it, it was doing that!
