Sorry, Greg, but they *are* needed. The question you asked, ie "It happened
again; I was well into d/l a file before I noticed that I was d/l to myself"
is a clear indication that your chartless existence is creating havoc with
your d/l's. Yes.

I see. So what's to worry about? If you find yourself downloading yet
another file which you've already downloaded many times you should be
cheering it along, as it could be a better one than the ones you already
have. Which brings us back to the problem of downloading from yourself. If
the files you've got are all Italian, or porn, then you should write them up
on a wallchart and stick it up in front of you. New heading : "THESE FILES
ARE ALL ITALIAN OR PORN. DO *NOT* DOWNLOAD FROM GREG (ME) AS THEY ARE CRAP,
AND NOT KONG".

Conclusion : Greg needs to use wallcharts.

Of course you have, Greg. Most of them were probably Italian or porn, I bet.

Yes. Tell me, were any of them *specifically* Italian porn? Or are they
Italian-language versions of Kong, or general porn? Hey - wouldn't it be a
scream if you managed to download an Italian porn movie featuring some guy
dressed up as Kong who spoke French, and who only shagged people who spoke
Spanish? There's a lesson to be learned somewhere, there, though I'm fucked
if I can be bothered finding out what it is.

PS
Wallcharts, Greg.
