I was just playing FIFA 2008 with my 8 year old son

I gave him a dollar
I've it done my way. It's not the OPs way. I don't have a ton of money
All I'm saying is it's not prepper vibes
This is true. I'm not advising anyone to do it. I've already taken a lot of my initial out and got myself some stuff
I'm not rich, it was a modest investment that most would laugh at
I've had some for about the last 7 years. Honestly, I don't feel so foolish when I look at they money I have in the bank VS the money I have in crypto and how much either has changed since back then
Prepper vibes? I'd say it's just common sense. If you had a password to all your money wouldn't you want to keep it safe from fire and water damage? Your bank does
I still catch myself doing this on occasion!!
A torrent client may need settings in the client changed, firewall rules changed, and ports open on the router. Even with all that a VPN could still have a limited connection. Some VPNs allow you control over this but I doubt free ones do
Things are changing rapidly but asynchronous upload/download speeds are not always offered by ISPs and uploading was always slower than downloading... used to be never but I've seen more and more ISPs offer asynchronous speeds
There are a huge number of factors that we don't know that could account for your slower speeds
On Windows Alt+Space+N has also saved me a few times. I am sure a similar command is available on other OSs
I see you got to level XP... one of the best levels
I had a brief stint in a shit hole during COVID lockdowns. This old dude started and it turned out his wife and the lady in charge were friends. He was one of the dumbest people I've ever met. He legit had someone else's glasses on and didn't know until the other guy was trying to find his. He said he thought it was weird that he couldn't see properly. He also seen a few guys with face screens rather than masks and he wanted one. We told him you can get them from health and safety, so off he goes. Comes back and says they're awful, you can't see shit out of them. He hadn't removed the protective covering...
I've worked with some apes in my time but I've no idea how this guy got so far in life without dying or something
Torrenting is orders or magnitude faster. The larger the file the more you'll see the benefits
I would direct download if the data was only a few tens of MB... maybe even a few hundred. After that, torrenting is vastly superior
My torrenting costs me the same amount as your direct downloading (nothing)
