Transmission is a great app, other than the fact that it's banned on virtually every bittorrent tracker that's worth a damn.

So there's still a good reason to keep Azureus around if you're a Mac dweeb.

Actually the newest build is now widely accepted (Dimeadozen, Oink, UKnova) since they worked out the problems. Azureus was the biggest waste of time for any torrent user. I used to use Tomato but they does not work so well in the seeding on the new intel macs for some weird reason.

People still use Fetch??!? What is this, 1992?

Transmit is da s-hit, or if you're a cheap bastard, use Cyberduck.

Is µTorrent available for Mac? If so, I'd go with that. Free, small, unintrusive, easy to use.

a uTorrent clone for Mac has been the holy grail for quite some time now. Nothing quite comes close yet, sadly.

I switched from Azureus to uTorrent and never looked back.

As for Louis Theroux, Louis and the Nazis is without a doubt his finest work. I've seriously watched it maybe ten times, if you can't find to download it's on youtube but it's pretty blurry and out of synch.
There's some of his other work to stream here -

some of it is pretty Anglo-centric, especially the celebrity stuff.
In a weird way I think he's similar to Sacha Baron Cohen in the way he makes people bare themsleves, but where Cohen gets people to drop their guard by subterfuge Theroux is just a nice intelligent guy who cuts the more probing questions with genuine interest in the lives of his subjects.

There's an absolute treasure trove of full length Theroux episodes on Google Video.

Did this stuff ever get released on DVD? I downloaded all the raw AVI files from Google Video, but the video quality is atrocious.

Jesse Thorn just interviewed Louis Theroux. The board discussion links to some streaming eps.

totally off topic (not totally)  I'm going through some of the live shows I downloaded long ago from dimeadozen and the Byrds are kicking my ass from January 4th, 1970 at the Fillmore

Now that this thread has turned into a Louis Theroux/Torrent conversation...

Does anyone have an invite for Oink?

[Laurie]

Yes. I do. Ten of them. Keep in mind, oink doesn't host videos.

[bookem_dan-o]

Yes. I do. Ten of them. Keep in mind, oink doesn't host videos.

Could I be lucky enough to get one of those invites thrown my way? i can beg if necessary.

I used to have an Oink account thanks to Bruce, but it seems to have expired and I cant get back in. I should know better.

I've got a bunch of BitMe.org and Dabug.org invites to give out if anyone can throw me an oink, indietorrents or Joost invite.

Sure, send me a pm with your email address. I'm going to bed now, but I'll get to it tomorrow morning or evening.

KickTheBobo sent me one. Thanks KickTheBobo!
