Aww, 8 hours? That sucks much worse than my mildly crushing experience. [At least I got to enjoy a Nicholas Cage movie that does *not* suck while I was blissfully ignorant of the fiasco waiting to happen.]
I would totally be giving up on the damn thing if I were you, but I admire your resolve to start again. Hope your upload works out and alleviates your rage. [Or else I pity people around you- isn't it amazing how technology can make you so excited and euphoric and floating above other mere mortals, then turn around and do the equivalent of dropping you off a cliff into churning waters that smash your helpless body against merciless rocks, leaving nothing but mush and pulp where a living, breathing person with hopes and dreams once existed?]
I'm trying again with mine now but I can't sit in front of the laptop for a few hours just to make sure no errant pop-ups appear and destroy all my...uh, hard work. [Though I did sit through an hour of mind-numbing boringness, staring at the screen displaying the d/l's progress, waiting for my Shark ep the other night- er, morning, it was like, 3am. *whistles innocently and totally non-obsessively*]
I know that it isn't all that difficult to click the d/l link, but it hurts to come back and find it was for nothing! Especially when I'd checked before and it was going smoothly and then BAM! Blindsided.
What *are* these bloody updates anyway? I don't notice any improvements to the laptop...are these my complimentary viruses to go with the aggravation of losing my ep?
