As of this friday i will start working as a cocktail barman many nights a week, i guess i'll have to find a way to control my pc remotely via my PDA. I'm already working on that. :D

yeah, i'm addicted.

Re: If I have enough, why do I get more?

You just need 5 steps: :naughty:

Step 1: Recognize the problem: do you check email incessantly when it is not entirely necessary? Do you go back to the same websites again and again? How many hours a day do you spend surfing the web?

Step 2: Recognize the reasons. The Internet is always available and cheaper than alcohol addiction, and legal unlike drug addiction. It offers escape just like drugs and alcohol. Once you realize these reasons, you can pinpoint Internet addiction as a real problem and not something to be scoffed at as not being a “real” addiction.

Step 3: Cut down on Internet use. This is, of course, easier said than done. You can’t stop checking email any more than you can stop checking the mail box. You can, however, stop checking it with the same frequency. Set the maximum amount you use the computer a day. This applies to chat rooms, games, online gambling, social networking sites (Myspace), and other sites that take up your time.

Step 4: Take walks, go out to eat, leave your office or home—i.e. get away from the computer. Breaking away for a few hours can help clear the head. If you have wifi, don’t take the computer with you.

Step 5: Start a new hobby, read a book, play games with a friend, play sports. Try to find offline activities that fill up your time.

Re: If I have enough, why do I get more?

If your bandwidth isn't going to be used otherwise, why not do it (as long as you seed 1:1 or better).

More advice? How about you just find another addiction? I hear meth is fun. It'll keep your house clean too ;)

Meth would be more expensive. Plus imagine how much you download as well. Taking meth would only make it worse.

Re: If I have enough, why do I get more?

I like this thread, very funny.
I too have hundreds of movies that I have no time to watch right now. I barely have time to get on here lately with all the hours I been putting in at work but I still keep downloading. I don't think of it as an addiction though. More like a hobby. I know I'll end up watching everything eventually

I agree with AmpeD. Get yourself a woman that you actually care about and that may keep you in check.

you must mean 5:1. 5:5 is the same as saying 1:1

I agree with this one...one more tip though when you use it make sure you shoot it up. Doing anything else is really a waste of good gear ;)

Re: If I have enough, why do I get more?

We all still can download a bunch of stuff by queueing up to 30 or even 100. Then we go out all day and get back home at night, and we still see they're still downloading. Then go check with your long list of sites like 100 of them and start queueing new stuff again.

Going out wouldn't solve a thing at all.

Re: If I have enough, why do I get more?

I guess not. I do that as well queue alot of stuff, bookmark stuff i want to download in the future (When i get home from work). Downloading is quite addictive at times. I haven't had a problem with that until recently at TheVault. So much business material that I want and need due to owning my business and in the process of starting up some more. If I have enough why do i need more? Cause we want and can have more stuff(due to it all being readily available). Don't know if that answer is right or wrong but thats how i see it (Some may agree, disagree, state that i'm ranting again). But hey?(arms in the air) i'm very opinionated. Disconny good topic.

Re: If I have enough, why do I get more?

At first I used to d/l anything and everything. Now though, I only d/l stuff I will watch.

I do however spend way too much time on forums like this. If I wasn't checking these forums every five minutes when I should be working I would get so much more done.

Damn right. Been a member since October and have been hooked to this site, but i will change that soon, when I back to work full time (music career wise). Right now i'm chilling in between projects, learning more and more about the bt world, making friends(online), and learning way more about business(How to sustain and operate mine).
