Is tsundere, and takes it to the extreme. Is voiced by Itou Shizuka (ref.: Katsura Hinagiku of Hayate no Gotoku!! fame). The picture up there was taken when she was pissed off at the narrator.

Enough slacking off.

I hereby state that once new season actually hits the fan I’ll post reviews for the first episodes. Currently lurking in Share for stuff that should already be out by now.

You can also use “ipconfig /flushdns” in Windows to force flushing the local OS’s resolver cache.

While it’s a neat little client and does its job pretty well, there is something weird about versions 1.8.1 and above. That “something weird” is their new protocol, based on UDP and called uTP. As you can read in the description, it’s supposed to be playing nice and fair with our networking infrastructure.

Up until 2.0, uTP wasn’t actively enabled, instead, clients were by default set to only receive uTP handshake requests, not initiate them; thus the only case uTP was used is when a client had a 2.0 beta version with uTP enabled for outgoing connections and the receiving client had an UDP port forwarded from their router. Therefore, the amount of transfers which used uTP wasn’t huge. Read more »
