Why does extracting Torrents take forever?......

Depends on how many seeds/peers where your getting the torrent from. The more seed to peer the better. You can have a few that throttle upload which slows your download. Also private torrents are a hell of alot quicker then public. Find some good private sites and get registered.

Haha, there is definitely a lot of confusion going on in this thread. Smootsdaddy and Gat are correct though. utorrent is used to download a .torrent file. The time it takes to download depends on a number of things, the most important being the number of seeds, size of the file, and speed of your internet connection.

Generally, if something is going to take days it means that there are not enough people seeding the file. When selecting to a torrent to download, tracker sites will provide the current number of seeders and leechers for a particular torrent. You want to choose something that has a large number of seeders (a seeder is somebody who already has the file downloaded in it's entirety and is uploading it for others). Having a lot of seeds also means that the file is more likely to be a legit copy of whatever it is your downloading.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.
