As you might have guessed from the absolute absence of any torrents yesterday, the computer problem I has experiencing turn out to NOT be intermittent network outages. What it eventually proved to be could, I suppose, be called a catastrophic hardware failure.
I am back with a temporary solution, however, the main downside of which is that I will only have access for a limited number of hours per day. I will of course be working to maximize that.
For a more permanent solution I am looking here:

My former employer did a lot of business with this company and seemed pleased. [With shipping and tax the total price for this item would be about $190 US, which seems like quite a bargain for hardware with a one year warranty. What do you think?]
Anyway, hopefully today things will return to something approximating normal. My main concern right now is my reduced ability to seed torrents, so I will probably be supplementing with direct-download links using services like megaupload.com.
Finally, while I am talking about things going on here, I would like to take notice of a new blog follower, "Dino." Welcome, and thanks for joining us. Things normally run much more smoothly.
