An AFP photo with problems!

More update: I am not the only one noticing the picture … Trailrank
Update: Looks like Yahoo has pulled the photo off….

I came across a photo by AFP on yahoo news that seemed not true.

A bullet is the projectile that kills or destroys and it is the top section of a cartridge. As you can see in the photo the two cartridges are intact and brand new. They are not fired at all. I had to post this because errors like this might undermine the horrible truth about human suffering in war zones.

I wonder why?

I talked about my problems with uTorrent and choose BitComet as a torrent client. I wonder why BitComet needs to send an email?

BitTorrent Clients and ratios!

—–Edition 2:
I have it all wrong! It does not work that way. You need to be sharing (!) and that is accomplished by sending the pieces you have and receiving the pieces you do not. So in light my new understanding of how BitTorrent works. Utorrent does a fine job. Although I would have liked a small read me as why it does what it does.

Edition 1:
As it turns out seeding with uTorrent and leeching with bitcommet works even better! Overall I get better down speeds and much better up speeds. This way I am happy and so is everyone else!

The story of bittorrent is about sharing. What goes around comes around! I will share what I have from a file while you share yours. There used to be a bittorrent client called μTorrent which was great. But something happened to it, It was decided to place a hardwired anti leeching ratio. Which at first it sounded great because I am on a slow line. However after a while I noticed my upload bandwidth is used more than my download. That is where I noticed something was wrong. While I had downloaded 343 MB I have uploaded 1.27 GB a ratio of 3.792! and another one with a ratio of 4.348 or 5.071!
In all fairness, I consider myself a good netizen and I always made sure my ratios were around 1.6 and for files which I am passionate about even higher with seedings for weeks. With that prelude I have to say I am puzzled. Somehow I am being leeched and and the anti leeching function which was supposed to protect me is not working. I have gone through FAQ, fiddled with all upload/download sluts, speed caps and all the stuff in the options->network to no avail.
So although I am greatfull to the author of μTorrent which used to be the best client for me; I have to move on to another client. I am a firm believer in free sharing of information, and knowledge. And I whole heartedly appreciate the work that goes into programming a software application which at the end is offered without any monetary compensation. But, sadly thank you μTorrent and goodbye!

As of a month ago I have two domain names which point to the same place. www.rxt7.com and www.pixelcutter.com the later which is easier to remember.
