I'm gunna start one now, see what happens.

I already asked about moving the router, but that isn't gunna happen. The router isn't even mine. I might end up trying to run a splitter at some point, but right now it's just not an option. I do appreciate all the advice. I'm gunna try a safe torrent right now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
