Led Zeppelin Music Accelerates Bittorrent Downloads - VGF

Parrakarry · 08-24-2004, 12:37 PM

It is the truth. Earlier today, I was download GTA VC with bittorrent, and was getting effing 20 kbps. Unhappy and bored, I decided to put on some music. When I was rockin' out to Battle of Evermore, I noticed something... MY DOWNLOAD WAS UP TO 180 KBPS. However... once the song was over, it ended. I tried it again in a little bit, and it didn't work...

Then I put on Kashmir. Wham! 120 kb/s download... and Kashmir's longer. I just hope to hell this works with Yes... (for those of you who don't know Yes, 90% of their songs require an entire CD to hold [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

An update: When playing "Who are you" and "Pinball wizard" (both by The Who) on my computer and stereo, I get 160k downloads.

Oh, wow. Someone should give your mom a "my child's a high achiever" bumper sticker. Seriously, PK.. You win. A lot.

Ooooh a fellow Yes listener. Do you happen to like Genesis, by the way (early Genesis, i.e. "Selling England By the Pound")

OH MAN COOL

THATS NOT EXPECTED OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST SELLING BANDS OF ALL TIME IS IT

LOL

Vinny Yes shouldn't be compared with Genesis they are two completely different bands. Yes is far more psychedelic than Genesis who have a dry literary distinctively british ambience about them and are not anything like Yes at all

Yes and Genesis are similiar because they are both PROG ROCK LOL ROFLEEL

Turns out I have half a gig of this "genesis" music on my computer, too. Hmm.

Doesn't seem too bad, really. And, uh, "Andy"... regardless of how intelligent you try to sound, it's not working. Quit while you're ahead.
