Yeah, that's the one I read about earlier today.  That might be the
way to go.  I prefer to use either a command line or ncurses based bit
torrent client because I can run them remotely where with something
that would be gnome based, I would have to run them from the house here.

Oh, on the subject of the cute websites, FLASH IS FUCKED!!! I don't
think you can even do flash with Firefox under linux.  What a way to
lock people into that garbage operating system.
