In fact, since the.torrent file has to directly contain the URL of the tracker itself, you can't simply "upload" the.torrent to a tracker and have it function, unless you know the exact tracker URL that server uses to host its torrent files. If you want to put a.torrent on 10 trackers, you have to create 10 separate.torrent files. You can't reuse the same.torrent file for all 10 trackers.
You are wrong.
I take it you've never heard of multi-tracker torrent files.
Using "announce-list" is an extension to the reference code's "announce" format. One can specify alternate trackers, as well as a priority.
It is in such wide use that I can't imagine anything other than the Python reference code that doesn't support it.
I didn't RTFA completely, but from my scanning of it (the OCZ part at least), the reviewers seem like amateurs to me.
FWIW I just got some "cheap", not-the-top-of-the-line, OCZ PC4200 3-4-4-8 "Performance" memory. Pretty close to the bottom of the OCZ line actually. It has shiny copper (elemental color) heat spreaders btw. My overclock goal was 266 MHz, the processor (P4 2.4C) isn't co-operating (won't overclock without dangerously high Vcore) though so I'm stuck around 262 MHz.
OCZ memories does NOT accept lower timings. Even OCZ has warnings about this all over their website.
OCZ memories benefit from higer freqencies though. , which more than makes up for high latencies. Any reviewer should know this... or at least have looked at the corporate website. It is almost as though the memory bus signals are synthesized, and not the result of direct memory chip outputs.
I think OCZ has the highest frequency capable memory available.
If you want a simple link, 1X works great in North America. GRPS is almost bearable, but is pretty poor in Europe (actually, nothing seems to be good there). Satellite is best, but you WILL lose the link (bridges, trees, tunnels, building, clouds, etc.).
Managing multiple links intelligently is the key.

Well, it has hit 1973 leechers and 381 seeds so far (2354)... and is still growing.
I think in this case the only downside would be tracker death, but that's why there is the multi-tracker "announce-list" extension (though this torrent doesn't use it).
There are lots of seeds (~20%), the file is relatively small (152.8MB), and the pieces are quite small (256KB).
It is nice to see BitTorrent being used for what it was designed: leagal mass distribution.
LG makes everything, including inexpensive multi-format drives.
I have a Plextor PX-708A. Writes everything except DVD-RAM, which almost nobody uses or wants (old format disc in a cartridge).
There are many other vendors of multi-format drives.
I prefer the + format, as it is easier to write to because of "linking" (a low level format thing), and hence also offers the highest speeds. The best you can get seems to be 8x DVD+R/RW media, though I use 4x media and my Plextor burns it at 6-8x. Go figure. There is a crop of 12x drives just comming out this summer.
I agree, as I own a P2120B and a NetWinder 3300, but even Fujitsu switched the P Series to Intel processors.
I helped develop a Crusoe based product, the NetWinder 3xxx series. It took a LOT of effort to before we saw 86 on the debug port (86 is the code for when the Crusoe processor is finally executing CMS and is ready to execute x86 instructions). It was so monumental a moment and effort that we took pictures.

Currently the internet uses IP protocal version 4. Version 6 is supposed to fix some of the problems of ipv4. Notable among these is the larger address space (128 bits instead of 32... actually I seem to recall that this may also have changed in the spec to an expandable scheme(?)), and things like QoS.
The biggest problem is that none of the primary routers support it. Network providers aren't interested in the expense and difficulty of upgrading, and hence aren't buying the new equipment and software required. Others are waiting for the equipment and software to become more common. In turn, product and software manufacturers aren't terribly interested in it until they get orders. Others are waiting for everyone else to use it (and be the Guinea pigs).
A "chicken and egg" situation.
The Internet has some serious problems that need fixing, but it also has way too much inertia to allow change to occur.
Privoxy works under nixes and win32. It allows on-the-fly rewriting of web pages to eliminate all the nasties. It's fast (a few tough sell converts were amazed... it is instantaneous).
Plus, you can configure it easily via its web interface. I have it set to allow some friendly but fragile sites, and replace the checkerboard blocked ad images with a transparent one (ads just magically disappear!).
Used in conjuction with Mozilla (cookie manager, allow images from site only) and the web becomes useful again.
Last time I checked the privoxy stats, I was blocking 17% of all requests... yet not missing any of that junk!
I get very little spam. I think I average about 1-2 spam per day in my Inbox. My e-mail address is on my web site, as well as easily locatable via several search engines. Hiding it seems pointless to me.

SCO has grounds for their suit, though I can't say I agree SCO should win it based on the information that appears in the filing.
SCO's mistake was holding up Linux as being indirectly responsible, and worse, insulting it and all the volunteers that worked on it over the years.
Linus seems to share a similar point of view, if I've understood his comments correctly.
