A couple of days ago (and hence my reason for not posting - well that’s not the only reason, but whatever) I ran into a weird problem, which I believe is caused by µTorrent. I had set µTorrent running overnight, but after I woke up from a deep sleep, my internet was completely broken! TokyoTosho refused to load, Google loaded after like a minute, etc etc. The same thing happened two days ago and I powercycled my router and all was fine. At first I thought it was Comcast doing the shit that the do, but apparently every one else in the house was a-okay with it.

What happens is this: µTorrent torrents like usual, but I think it eats my bandwidth too. Upon quitting, it doesn’t seem to release it, but Windows isn’t mentioning anything about this either. So all I can do is IM, since browsing the internet is broked. Come to think of it, it has happened before too. It’s just a long time ago, and I think I switched to Vuze/Azureus. I’ve downloaded Vuze/Azureus and will probably be using that for a while, and see if it’s causing any more trouble. I sure hope not!
