[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, BitTorrent is more of a trickle. The trick is to pick out what you want and just leave it running. The software automatically resumes, so if you need to switch off, just pause and start again when you power up again. But it works best on a computer that's always running - mine goes 24/7, and I've got about a dozen things downloading at the same time, and although it's pretty slow, it's quite reliable. Most of the time, those Torrents *will* finish, even if it takes some time.

Er, on topic...Past Tense is good, because it's the only Trek episode where a Starfleet captain gets to rack the pump on the quite cool Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun. And because it leads up to what is possibly the best inside joke in all of Trek in Little Green Men.
