Also published as In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement Is Challenging the Cult of Speed.
We live in the age of speed. We strain to be more efficient, to cram more into each minute, each hour, each day. Since the Industrial Revolution shifted the world into high gear, the cult of speed has pushed us to a breaking point. Consider these facts: Americans on average spend seventy-two minutes of every day behind the wheel of a car, a typical business executive now loses sixty-eight hours a year to being put on hold, and American adults currently devote on average a mere half hour per week to making love.
Living on the edge of exhaustion, we are constantly reminded by our bodies and minds that the pace of life is spinning out of control. In Praise of Slowness traces the history of our increasingly breathless relationship with time and tackles the consequences of living in this accelerated culture of our own creation. Why are we always in such a rush? What is the cure for time sickness? Is it possible, or even desirable, to slow down? Realizing the price we pay for unrelenting speed, people all over the world are reclaiming their time and slowing down the pace — and living happier, healthier, and more productive lives as a result. A Slow revolution is taking place.
Here you will find no Luddite calls to overthrow technology and seek a pre-industrial utopia. This is a modern revolution, championed by cell-phone using, e-mailing lovers of sanity. The Slow philosophy can be summed up in a single word — balance. People are discovering energy and efficiency where they may have been least expected — in slowing down.
In this engaging and entertaining exploration, award-winning journalist and rehabilitated speed-aholic Carl Honoré details our perennial love affair with efficiency and speed in a perfect blend of anecdotal reportage, history, and intellectual inquiry. In Praise of Slowness is the first comprehensive look at the worldwide Slow movements making their way into the mainstream — in offices, factories, neighborhoods, kitchens, hospitals, concert halls, bedrooms, gyms, and schools. Defining a movement that is here to stay, this spirited manifesto will make you completely rethink your relationship with time.

Stop using so many trackers, more than half of them are dead.

@JesusAngelSolana Thanks. @trikon000 How about a little gratitude?

@metroman Flooding a connection can cause the OS or Firewall to shut your internet connection down. 1 tracker is a connection, 1 peer is a conection; then multiply that by how many torrents he posted like this and it can cause an overflow of connections which is called flooding. Depending on how old your copy of Windows is and your network cards are there is hard limit of around 200 or so, this is before going into virtual connections. Connections over that limit will shut down your internet until you turn off the offending program. This was a common problem back in the days of windows xp. It is still a problem of today, it is less likely to happen because that hard limit is around double or higher with newer OSes and gigabit or higher transfer limits.
I don’t need to be seeing posts in the forum from people who complain that their internet shut down because they downloaded several of this guy’s torrents. Then telling the poor sap to fix the issue is to go spend money on a new computer and/or internet or stop downloading this guys stuff. When that will not fix the cause of the issues. The fix is for this guy who is posting books to trim down the number of trackers he is using so that the probelm doesn’t show up in the first place.
There is a reason why the list of trackers to use is short, so it won’t cause flooding.

I hope first responders aren’t signing up to this “Slothism” cult.
Granted, much can be overlooked and omitted by doing things too quickly. Haste makes waste really is a truism. However being too meticulous can also be detrimental. Depending on situation and circumstances, a balance is often optimal, in my exerience.
Cheers.
