A movie usually takes about 1 hr 30 for me.

 What client do you use? I  be able to download a movie or a TV series season in a couple days using U Torrent, but the program developed a glitch that caused my computer to crash all the time. I'm using Bit Torrent's default program right now and it's slower than Hades...been downloading the same stuff for nearly a month with no progress.  llllllllll

Utorrent.

I got DS to load U torrent in Dec. and she ended up with the same problem and had to have her hard drive wiped.

I've been downloading off u torrent since I came to China with no problems...except I don't get the speed CD does.

The Disney flick "Game Plan".....predictable.  But still kinda cute and funny.  Definitely suitable for my 9-year old nephew to watch.   bfbfbfbfbf bfbfbfbfbf

are you on campus?

When I was on campus in Wuhan, except for sites like uknova which have 8 million seeders and 2 leechers, I got some frustratingly slow speeds due to the router.

Not on campus...just slow, right now 06:45 I have a total download speed of 12.1kB/s...but usually it's between 70 - 100...internet has been extra slow/sporadic these past few days.   I'm just downloaded one thing, so my 100 is spread out between 5-6 torrents.

Ah well I only DL one thing at a time, so I get 100 for that alone, which might be why I get things so quickly.

Took The Simpsons movie over and watched it with Babala.  I slept through most of it, but then I've seen it before.

I watched the latest Rambo installment yesterday. It was so much fun. So much carnage, so much blood, it was tremendous. That were several things I found slightly unrealistic but it was Rambo!

The original rambo film is actually a deceptively intelligent piece of psychological thriller

First Blood was a genuinely good movie.

Rambo 3 wqas a riot.  Do you remember when he cauterized the woulnd through his side by breaking open bullets, pouring the gunpowder into his wound then setting it ablaze?  I started SCREAMING with laughter in the theatre.  A helicopter rammed a tank head on.  There was a great groan of laughter at the end, when they had the nerve to dedicate the "film" to the people of Afghanistan.

Fun time.

Agreed, I watched it recently and was surprised by how good it was.

I watched Hairspray last night. It was so crappy, it was almost funny in spots. Having John   Travolta playing the mother was incomprehensible! There was nothing in the story about the mother being a man, so why??
