Top Ten Signs You’ve Been Downloading Too Many Shows on BitTorrent
- You can’t remember how to operate your TV remote anymore.
- When your boss asks you to locate the invoice file from the cabinet, you first locate the ‘torrent’…
- You know small details like season 1 of Desperate Housewives has 22 episodes, 42 minutes per episode, 3.2GB in size, has 25 seeds, but can’t remember your girlfriend’s telephone number.
- When a software dealer asks you if you use more MS Word or Excel in the office, you answer, “Neither. I use Azureus more.â€
- On the days you’re not at work, you’re colleagues call them ‘fast internet connection days’.
- Your ISP has one small dedicated server just for you, they call your IP address ‘Piratebay Malaysia’.
- Your rampant downloading and file-sharing is responsible for causing 14 torrents sites to be shut down by the US authorities.
- You’re not sure what “commercial breaks†are, you think they are those pauses in your BitTorrent viewing when you have to go to the toilet for a leak or a fag.
- When your friend calls you while you are on the toilet seat, you tell him to call you back later as you are “download 92% completeâ€.
- On TMNet’s Streamyx website, on the List of Top Bandwidth Users, you face appears on number 1.

I think I’m getting too addicted, I’m starring at my Azureus most of the time when I’m home 😛
Ken
You don’t seem to go anywhere else anymore as you’re always in front of the computer screen. On outing days, you constantly have thoughts about “I wonder if the internet connection is ok at home” or “What if my connection putus tiba-tiba how?” or “The download will complete in another hour… the download will complete in 30 minutes…” Muarhahaha…

Yaiks! Spot on! ;D One more: you check sites like http://eztvefnet.org/ every 5 minutes before you leave for work just in case your favourite TV show is available and you can leave it to download while you’re at work. And when you come home, the download is already complete! Yay!
