Hello everyone, my name is JellyBrain and I’m a downloadaholic. Last year I owned an Acer laptop where the wifi indicator light blink rate was proportional to the data transfer rate. I used the laptop to download movies and TV series during the night in my bed room. If the light was not blinking fast enough, I couldn’t sleep! After extensively using the laptop it died out after 2 and a half years.
Doesn’t downloading totally divert your attention? Say you are editing your CV after 4 years and suddenly utorrent pops up say ‘download complete’ on your favourite show. Will you or will you not watch that 22 minutes of happiness right away? I would. And when you get back to your CV, all the attention will be gone and your CV would represent a 19 year old sexless person (typo) who was hibernated for 4 years (born in 1987, but age is still 19).
This is an addiction. I’m having a very bad one these days because I got all aired seasons of How I Met Your Mother. Once you watch 3-4 episodes you get attached to the characters. You watch the proceeding episodes mostly to know what happened rather than to enjoy the jokes. I realized this yesterday. When my brother was watching season 3, I was still on season 2. If I didn’t care about the story, it wouldn’t matter to me what season it is. But it did!
I hate myself. You should hate yourself too if you are in this position or worse.

although I don't download anything more than 50MB at home I completely agree on the fact when it comes to seasons. Thought not addicted to the business, once when I got Avatar cartoon series, I was soooo obsessed and went through whole 3 seasons despite the nearing exams. I was hoping to start off with it after exams but after watching first episode ... well... you know... couldn't resist :D
