Geek fun: BitTorrent and Little Snitch

[Greg the dogsitter]

BitTorrent minimizes server stress by connecting to multiple locations.

Little Snitch alerts you to every new server connection until you tell it otherwise.

The fun part is watching LS go crazy when you start a BT download. Lots of domains, all over the darned place, incl. a few in Canada.

When this gets boring, you just tell LS to allow everything, so you don't have to keep clicking "Allow."

(Well, I thought it was fun.)

[incognegro]

sort of like whack-a-mole, but you've got thousands of holes to cover... wait, that didn't sound right...

'negro, that was pretty funny. I'm totally picturing GTDS sittingat home etting frustrated as though he's playing that game. LOL!

kind of the "close all the pop-up ad windows before they propogate and crash your system" game we used to play before Safari and it's "block pop-up windows" feature.
