This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There. Just saved you half an hour waiting for your download to complete.

Saved but also "half hour downloads" are a thing of the past with gigabit fiber and usenetting

Kinda depends on what your downloading. Movies in the 2160p resolution are getting into the 10s of Gigs. And you still need a seed with comparable bandwidth serving the file you want.

See: usenet. No seeds, just constant maximum DL speeds

Its been my experience at least that once a site gets too good it gets shutdown. I got tired of that dance so I just properly setup radarr and Sonarr with Usenet.

Half hour? For anything with more than one Russian seeder you just wait ~60 secs for the first couple bytes then you can begin copying your Linux ISO to disk immediately.

Why everyone doesnt use these is beyond me.

Co workers complaining about a $200 cable bill and I just sit there and smile.

People are kinda weird when it comes to habits. A lot of people have seen my kodi setup that i have been using and tailoring for a decade. They like it, and when i ask them if i should show them, they are like naaaah, i wouldn't know what to watch, and i just record and skip commercials. It's not THAT expensive, and football and whatnot.

True. Theyre missing out big time
