Today has been Windows refresh day. I like to do a clean install every couple of months just to clean out all those redundant dll’s and other bumph.

Popped over to OpenOffice.org to get the latest version for the reinstall and I was pleasantly surprised to see the download available over bittorrent as well as the standard http/ftp route.

So opted for that and it came down at about 300kB/s, sweet!

This should be the standard for releasing software.

µTorrent v1.5 is out, and it contains protocol encryption ! No more ISP traffic shaping !

I’ve been using ABC for a long while now and it works a treat, but… I just read “» Can great software live in 130 kilobytes?” and i’m intrigued by µTorrent.

130 Kb, how nostalgic is that? harks back to the good old days when it was normal for software to come on a floppy (or more if it was cool, Monkey Island anyone!).
