Ubuntu FTW
- george: my computer is STRUGGLING because Transmission seems to be writing a dummy 7.2 gb file to my hdd
- seth: transmission sucks, i know
- seth: it blocks out the whole download before it finishes downloading
- george: it just won't stop
- george: thrashing my computer!
- seth: ooohhhh you're on ubuntu
- george: i am
- seth: kill transmission; cancel the download
- seth: do yourself an enormous favor and install wine and utorrent
- george: hahahha
- seth: i wish i was joking
- seth: utorrent is the best bittorrent client on ubuntu
- seth: far and away
- george: is there anything else about it that sucks?
- seth: transmission?
- seth: you don't have the options utorrent has
- george: I can't even open a terminal to kill it
- george: i might have to kill the x server
- seth: hahahaha
- seth: open a new terminal
- seth: ummm
- seth: it's ctrl+alt+F5 or something
- seth: but wait
- seth: i think you hit ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to the graphical display
- seth: so make sure you remember that, otherwise you can't leave that other terminal
- george: the creature you attacked is immune to kill levels 1 through 8
- george: try -9
- seth: hahahahaha
- george: i have never seen such a miserable program
- seth: i laughed out loud
- george: the machine i have has half a gig of ram
- george: and transmission was using hundreds
- george: that was the problem
