When the MBA’s take over, the company is sucked dry.

Too bad. Would have loved to have him steal votes from Trump.

He sold his house when he moved in to the governor’s mansion.

Looks like a decoupling cap. So the value isn’t going to be super critical. If you put in a cap in the same ballpark as the others it should be fine.

Edit: there’s another missing cap above the cap that sits above the one you bodged. A small one. If you count from the large untinned pad on the right next to the edge of the board, left of the 4th tinned pad you will find it.

You're suggesting OP stop seeding because those seeders will be able to download faster, but we literally see just a snapshot.

I suggested that OP check their settings.

Are you saying I shouldn't seed because that way an American or European will be able to download faster?

Again, that’s not what I am saying at all. Stop putting words in my mouth.

I can't believe such a toxic and inaccurate comment has this many upvotes.

If you’re looking for a toxic comment, look at your own where you are wilfully misrepresenting my argument, make wild assumptions and then attack those. That's textbook definition of toxic behavior.

At 16kb/s per connection , I think you have to ask yourself if you’re really helping. Have you checked your settings that you aren’t limiting your upload speeds?

Edit: people seem to be offended by this comment, so let me clarify by what I meant with “are you really helping”.

Torrent clients default to a fixed number of peers they download from. If you end up with only 16kb/s connections, you are being limited by those seeders in how fast you can download.

Whereas if there were less seeders but they could provide 1mb/s connections, you are limited by your own internet connection and are downloading full blast.

I hope that clarifies my statement.

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

I think blast is appropriate in this case.

That’s impossible. You can’t all be 35 at the same time.

Have you compared it to the amount of meteors that enters the earth’s atmosphere daily? That’s on average 48.5 tons. Every day. Those are made up of silicates, carbon, metals, all kinds of stuff.
