I just downloaded the new Ubuntu release. It took a whopping 29 minutes to download the near 700 megabytes. That’s a very good speed to download any OS, on release day. And it is all thanks to the 2344 seeders.

That’s right. there were thousands of people seeding this thing. And to top it off, there were 969 leachers. So that is almost a 3 to 1 ratio. That is unprecedented

And the best thing about it, is that it didn’t cost the Ubuntu much money in bandwidth (assuming a tracker is cheap)

Here is a picture

Also, You may notice that I am using KTorrent, instead of the default Ubuntu torrenter. It is the only torrent downloader on Ubuntu that “just works”. If you ask me, it should be the default. That is if it does not require too much KDE to install.

While donating to another of my favourite artists on Jamendo. I noticed that in the last few days, I have spent more money on Creative Commons Music, than all the music I bought from the media cartel in the past 5 years. Here is a picture to prove it:

And no. I don’t pirate music.

I just noticed the new album by Lonah called “Au fond du temps”. Very nice.

And remember. Please support artists you like.
