So, before I went to bed last night (early yet again), I wanted to see what I could really throw at Roadrunner turbo. Really test it, you know?

I came from crappy old Clearwire, where my average torrent download speed was around 10kbps. Pathetic, I know. So I literally queued up everything I could think of off the top of my head that I wanted, and started downloading. It’s nothing completely ridiculous in terms of how many torrents I ran, but it was quite significant. Enough that it would have taken Clearwire months to download.

When I awoke this morning, about 6 hours later, after my long morning piss I decided to check on my torrents and see how I was doing. I had to sit down for this one…

Everything was done except for one. Everything. The one that wasn’t done was a torrent I previously spent over 2 MONTHS trying to download on Clearwire. Roadrunner Turbo knocked out 50% of it in 6 hours.

10kbps download speed? No sir not for me.

It’s so, sexy!

So over a period of six hours, I downloaded 13 movies, and 21 episodes of Dark Angel. Those are 45+ minutes EACH.

I will definitely be keeping this.

In addition, while googling my way through web sites trying to think of shit to download, I had to pay particular attention to a particular top “whatever” list.

Of all those mainstream movies, the most requested upcoming DVD is “Slutfest”?

America, your trailer park is hanging out… put it back in…
