The unknown phenomenon which causes a computer user to become seething with rage when a torrent is stuck at 99.9% downloaded and cannot download any further.
user (forum post): SEED!! For the love of God SEED!!! This is rediculous, I pay for my dialup connection and I'm sueing and how can anyone justify doing this and it's not fair and you're ruining teh interweb!!!111
user2 (forum post): Looks like a nasty case of Torrent Rage - just relax, download something else dood.
One who frequently downloads files using the Bit Torrent protocol. A "torrenteer" typically belongs to several torrent sites and is generally good about seeding back what they take.
That Ch@os dude is such a good torrenteer, he always seeds at least 1 to 1...
A Torrent Whore is a BitTorrent user , who is too lazy to upload his own content, so they opt to download a torrent from another user, and use those contents to create another torrent upload in their user name.
Instead of creating their own rips, Torrent Whores merely download other people stuff, rename it and post it again as their own. It is sad, since it generates a lot of unneeded duplicates, instead of allowing larger swarms to develop around a single posting.
They are never going to give credit where it is due, since the folks who do this are trying to make themselves into bigshot uploaders without bothering to put in any real effort.
guy1: Dude, some just uploaded your comic in their name !
a file that is constantly moving accross a large network. in order to download the file, the downloading file segments must at the same time be uploaded to other users requesting the file. torrents are tagged with a unique ID so that any particular torrent can be located from anywhere on the network with the correct software.
I need to search the torrents for some practice testing software before I go to take my CompTIA A+ Certification exam.
