Recently, I’ve been on a BitTorrent kick. Truly impressive what’s out there. Bytemonsoon is an interesting tracker that has a category dedicated entirely to comics, which is great. There are sets of +30yo books, scanned from aged first prints. Most of these are packaged in CBR or CBZ format, which are basically numbered RAR and ZIP archives, coded for the CDisplay Comic Reader, a pretty awesomely made comic viewing program (Windows only). Quite cool.
When using BitTorrent on my PC, I found myself consistently getting spontaneous reboots. I finally looked into it, and lo and behold, it’s a known problem with my Netgear FA311 card. The suggestion to upgrade the drivers to the latest (v1.80) seems to have fixed things. Always a pleasant surprise when you can find a fix, and it actually works as advertised.
