If you're the only person selling sunscreen in the desert and there is high

Indeed. But be before that: backup time. Your user files (what really
matters) are not lost. Just boot a live system (such as the Trisquel ISO you
will use to reinstall) and you will see that you can access them. When you
reinstall, ask for a manual partitioning and do *not* format the

Somehow I doubt this. I do all my backups in FAT for compatibility and I've

Reinstallation time, that's what.
You do realize that it takes about four hours to download the ISO at 250

rate you can download to only a little more than that, even if you have a

I don't care.
I upload every single thing through tor.

Hi Everyone
I had to sign up with an unlimited plan with my ISP today. My 270 GB per

100 GB per day sometimes and this does not seem possible by a

Maybe try downloading through tor?
torify wget maybe.
When I direct connect to upload I'd time out.
But tor does stuff so things stay stable it seems.
Another option is to DL the mega upload someone put up of the previous

Their upload cap is about the same if you get a good connection. When I'm
lucky I can upload in 4 hours, other times it takes 6 or more.
Why don't they allow faster?
The DL is so big because of all the content.
It's not about allowing. It's about what they're capable of doing. There are
all sorts of factors that go into this. Things like the infrastructure of
whatever ISP they use, who else is a customer of that same ISP, and how many
thousands of people they're sending data to at once.
Something's probably hacked. It's possible the modem is: it's just a
never-updated computer with more CPU power than it needs.
Might be being used as a DDOS bot.
Woah, don't download stuff through Tor. Ever.
Downloading files like this especially make the network slower for others.
So I might be stuck in the 90's but could mailing out CDs for a buck a piece be
an option to those who are having issues downloading?

Even when I tried to download it for ten+ hours, the connection to SF kept

Yes. This is the value of free software and libre media: we can both build
