I'm a compulsive torrent downloader. I already have lots of stuff to keep me busy for months and months to come, yet I still download more. I have a bunch of TV left to watch, yet I'm downloading a new TV show. How can I get my body to learn when enough is enough?
Talk to your school councilor? Read the bible. Or simply just use slow ass public trackers.

Nothing exceeds like excess :D
That you believe you are downloading too much is interesting, but surely this is a fairly mild form of addiction, or do you rush with shaking hands to your PC to see what the latest torrents are in the morning ?
Relax man it's not crack cocaine :naughty:
I downloadede two seasons of 2 different show last night and I didnt watch even an episode...just downloading downloading...till when? :-\
lol funniest topic of the day
i do that too with porn. i have way too much porn that i will probably never watch
because humans are driven by greed. You can't help it. These days a lot of people have high/decent speed internet with unlimited bandwidth. You have the resource available to you so you always want to make use of it. Best solution I found is to go get a low capped internet plan or go back to dial up (if you can still find it :lol:). When you on a capped plan, you learn to allocate bandwidth to download things you actually want. Well it worked for me when I was at my parent's place. Ended up watching most things online trying to save bandwidth.Quote:

i suppose its just because i havent been fucked hard and good in a couple months :(
This is maybe true, but i can't not laugh.Quote:

I do this all day. I frequently delete several movies or games or whatever that I realize after a few weeks that I'll never use. They were the best new option at the time and I helped share the files, which makes it worth it I suppose even if I'm not getting much use from them. If I had a solution, I would have more free HD space, sorry dude but you've come to the wrong place for help with this problem. :)
My ambition is to have the whole internet on my hard drives.
we need to start a new group. A bit like Alcholics Annonymous and call it Bit Torrent annonymous..........
"hello my name is monkyboy and i'm a torrentoholic its been 6 hours since my last download and im iching to download another i'm seriously considering downloading the full pack of the A-Team just because i can. please help"

Storage is so cheap now, I've got stuff I downloaded months ago and never got round to watching.

However, spending time in the real world can cause problems for real addicts. Because you tend to get in to trouble if you walk into virgin megastore help yourself to loads of dvd's and cd's and games. and walk out without paying.Quote:

This fu*ks gona kill me one day
really funny thread :lol:
with the kind of connection speeds we have today combined with the ease of availability of files through bittorrent, its absolutely normal to go through what you are going through. for most however it is not that big a deal to get files all the time which they most probably will not use. the problems start when it starts affecting your real social life. as long as the two dont interfere, you should do just fine. otherwise, try shutting your pc off for a few days. if you cant do that on your own, try giving ur pc to your best friend of someone (i hope you have atleast that much of a social life :P) for a week or so. that way you will learn to live without your pc.
How come it's so time consuming? I max out my connection 24/7 and only spend a couple of hours at most on torrent sites during a week. When I join a tracker I can pretty much bookmark all old files and packs I want within an hour or so. Then anytime I visit again I just quickly search through their past few days and what's popular using the different catagories to sort the torrents, bookmarking and downloading everything I want. There's only 2 sites (0-day) I check daily.
then after quality not quantity
just download HD DVD and BD, 30GB~50GB per movie and try lossless music instead of MP3
I know blame the trackers and their good content for that. I don't even remember the last time i paid for a music CD. As for a movie, transformer the special edition was the last movie i bought. I got over 50 tera bytes of data total stored away. It's impossible to get around to it all.Quote:

I have the exact same problem, I even download stuff that I dont really like just for the sake of downloading, seriously.Quote:

What about sorting out what you have in your HD's? That's hell for me!!
Every once in a while I lose a day or two organising stuff, deleting what I don't like ( just downloaded cause you never know, do you? It might be worth it!! :blink: ) and getting ready for another month or so of insane downloading...
I would suggest getting friends.
Recently I have stopped d/ling. I havent used torrents for a month or so now and only am half-active on forums. The only things I download are a few music albums which I find links for on google... I just got board with all this torrenting, and I go out with my friends almost every day now.
i have one of my pcs 24/7 downloading/seeding, and i can't have enough of it.
as i spend most of my time outside home, when i return at night many times i spend lots of time burning the stuff i downloaded, and adding new torrents.
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.
internet addiction? damn...tell your parents to password your pc
