Bitgrabber blows.

Note: if you're some sort of gov't spy or lawyer, everything i say in this posting is false*.

I was downloading "Heroes" last night. At 3 am. I had this brilliant master plan to get it going and then wake up early so i could cram it in before work. Mik-El and Mr N always watch it and then talk about it and then there's no surprises in the show when i watch it the next day.

It DID download by 7 am today, however, the torrent said you had to download some crap software to view it.

Here is why humans are inherently going to go extinct. Like other situations in life, i was able to envision that this was going to go badly - and i did it anyway.

I KNEW there was gonna be spyware in the software. I KNEW there might be popups. I KNEW there could be viruses. But, like a jackass, i downloaded it anyway...and there were all of those things, and the #*&^%$% torrent turned out to be a fake - so i didn't even get the episode. So tonight i've spent hours trying to clear out a bunch of crap from my computer because of some b.s. software called "Bitgrabber".

Don't EVER use Bitgrabber for all your torrent needs. Ever. It's garbage.


*except this sentence. I have to cover my butt somehow, right?

For the record... we tell you not to listen when we talk about it!
Hopefully you'll have watched it by now though and it will all be okay.
