Friggin Bit Torrent and The Power of Nightmares

Frig it! Frig frig frig!

I'm having trouble getting Bit Torrent to install under
Linux. I'm not really interested in getting it to run,
it's just that there is a series by the BBC called
"The Power of Nightmares" that I'd like to watch, but
is only available via bit friggin torrent.

Has anyone grabbed this documentary yet? It's in
three episodes, apparently from here:

http://conspiracy.hopto.org:6969/

If so could someone post it to monter?

Looks like a very interesting conspiracy theory/documentary
about links between Islamic extremism, terrorism, and the neocons.

when you get rid of azureus and get a working client, let me know. i've
found one or two decent torrent sites.

Azureus seems to work fine here. I've downloaded all 3 parts of the
conspiramentary film, totaling 1.4 Gigs. Azureus is now running in the
background without any adverse effect on system performance. According
to "top", which is a process monitoring tool, Azureus is using about
1% of the CPU. I'll probably leave it running from now on in order to
"give back" bandwidth.

So, what about those sites?



P.S. The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear is a very
interesting series. I've watched all 3 hours of it, and although they
very subtly skim over a number of weak points in their theory, it is very
provocative nonetheless, and is much more credible and sane than some of
the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 that I've seen. It is made more
amusing by the fact that it is scored with theme music from famous horror
movies, such as Friday the 13th and Night of the Living Dead.

But best of all, Fox News hates, Hates, HATES it!

That one seems to work but they want some onerous shit to sign up. No,
they can't have a working email address.

Same as hongfire.

and once you've installed it... and it crashes, and you go read
alt.bittorrent, and people advise you to reinstall the java thingy, and
you do, then you re-install azureus, and it consumes 99% of your CPU
just SITTING THERE, and it works for a few days and then keeps telling
you "I can't open that port for listening" even though you KNOW it's
open and you go read alt.bittorrent again and see that message i wrote
advising people to dump azureus in favor of Bitcomet.

Nope, that's not my experience. I downloaded the tarball, opened it,
installed it, it works.

Fortunately, I know how to deal with computers. You seem to be having
some troubles. Need pointers? Oh, wait... that's on Windows, right?

It's here -
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1037.htm
though not great quality.

Is very clever - traces the development of neo-con ideas from Leo
Strauss and Irving Kristol onwards, with their critique of liberal
society and the loosening of social order and undermining of
institutions - and the parallel development of Islamic fundamentalist
ideas in Egypt, in reaction to the effects of western liberalism and the
'consumer society'.
The 'Straussians'/neo-cons' believed in the need for mythical enemies to
reinforce social cohesion. Once they had lost the Soviets they had Bill
Clinton, and after that, Al-Qaida, which doesn't actually exist. There
are Muslim extremists everywhere, but no overarching network which links
them all up or controls them. Makes a parallel between the hyping of
the supposed Soviet run 'network of terror' in the 70s/80s by Rumsfeld,
Wolfowitz and others against the advice of the CIA, and that of al-Qaida
and the Irai 'threat' in the last few years.

Plus: 'dirty bombs' don't work!

In summary: full of STUFF.

I used to moan at how few people read the book 1984, but apparently at
least some peoiple are reading it.
