Bufferd ? if TL buffered over than 1 TB. let me know
I've never seen so many people use the term "buffered" that have not the slightest clue as to the origin of its meaning.
A buffered account means that they have a large amount of credit on the account i.e. the account has maybe downloaded 50gb and uploaded 500gb so the 'buffer' is 450gb and ratio on the account is 9 making the account an extreme user or whatever the class is on that particular tracker. This makes it a far more attractive trade item. Often such accounts are passed around multiple times simply to leech off, until the buffer is depleted and then discarded, so the value of the account is the buffer.Quote:

Also, it's not the original use of "buffer", but it predates the more modern adaptation and is usually understood on some sub-cognitive level.
Kind of like peeing in a pool.
This particular gene pool is mostly pee. :naughty:Quote:

Yeah, but consider the cost of a 100 GB hard drive back then. It would have been more cost effective to to store the movies on a hard disc if your collection was large enough to justify it. Otherwise (and more commonly), it's much cheaper to pick up the few movies you want @ about $1 a pop at the local "video" store. I don't know if you've ever been to one, but it's literally a storefront where they sell CDs/DVDs of pirated movies and music, xvid on disc, label and cover printed, brilliant. I've seen this kind of thing in markets, but an actual store takes the cake for me.Quote:

I still back up anything Video, audio, etc. that I would really hate to lose to disk, even though I have about 15 TB of external storage. I had a 1 TB external that got fried once & I lost a shitload of stuff, some of which I never did recover. The one advantage that DVD's & CD's have, is that as long as you keep them in a safe place & are careful handling them, they'll last practically forever.
I wasn't much into movie downloading back then. It was more music and warez. And I had a 20 gig hard drive :DQuote:

In the early 00s there was the following: every few weeks you'd find a brochure at your doorstep, which was actually a warez catalog. You would call the number printed at the bottom (always a mobile), order the things you wanted and leave your own number. Within a day or two they'd call back to tell you the copies were ready and ask where to deliver them. Prices were between 5 and 10 AR$ per disc. It was a bit like you were buying crack from them, except it was pirated stuff. And the price was excellent, considering that downloading a CD's worth of content through dial-up would take a lot more time and money.
Still have a few of those discs myself.
And dust also needs a place to call home.Quote:
