Where are you downloading from? Finding good sources has been a problem ever since Suprnova got shut down.

VIPTorrent I think is the name of the place. Bit patchy, I've noticed, but not too bad.

Does this mean you have HD space now?

Yup, 120GB of it. :D The RAM is still being arsey, and I need to pick up a decent graphics card, but at least I'm now running mostly smoothly again.

I'd love to meet up some time this weekend, if that's cool with you two. Need distraction and all, and frankly, it's been way too long since I've actually seen other people except my coworkers.

Depends on both how tired we are, and how much work I decide to do this weekend: but I could possibly send E around with S:AAB on my iPod for you to copy off. :o) (And perhaps the X-Men or Spider-man movies? Oh, and if there's anything you want from here or here, lemme know, since copying files in person would be much quicker than downloading from our pathetic upstream.)

Our place is rather scary at the moment and not really suitable for public consumption, or I'd invite you over. :o)

Heh, my place isn't too much better. I shall try and corner your wife on AIM tonight and see if she's up to anything. ^_^ *goes to take notes on music, etc. she wants, muahahah*

I've recently been getting lots of nice stuff from allofmp3.com. Pay-for downloads, but at US$2 for a 192kbps AAC full album, it's cheap enough.

I have another half a dozen U2 albums that I need to process: the tags are all screwed. I might do that this afternoon, actually.

Ooooh, that sounds like a good site, will check that out.

You pay US$0.02 per megabyte in downloads, so the higher quality you want, the more it costs.

It's also potentially not illegal, yay.

"Potentially not illegal" sounds so reassuring. ;P

Well, it's legal in Russia...

I'm not convinced that's a valid defense over here, though. :D but hey, never stopped me before.

... Kay, I just read a subject line of "Parts Order" as "Pants Order". Clearly, more caffeine is in order!

Well, it's a bit of a grey area, from what I understand.

And surely you mean /less/ caffeine? Stimulants affect judgement, you know. ;o)

So does lack of sleep. :P
