I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that's only cos I'd watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.

Perhaps some Youtube's done a video on it... I feel like I've seen a headline or link saying something like "Why Paul is underrated" recently.
I didn't know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not
catch and release
Brilliant phrase! I'm an archiver myself partly because it takes me ages to watch things, and partly because some things get returned to again and again. I could definitely do with a cull, but it's easier to commit to more storage.
Good question. I assume it's DHT delivering peers that aren't in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).
The format's "# connected (# total)" in every client I've seen.
I'm out of the loop here, what's this about?
Handbrake isn't recommended any more? That's what I'd used for my ripping. By original quality, you mean extracting the the mpeg-2 or just that Handbrake did bad transcoding?
Unless you want engagement! 90% of these comments are about the missing comma.
If you have all the original, unedited files you downloaded (this might mean multi-part rar archives) can either point your BT client at the location or move/copy them to where your client expects them.
I tend to add the torrent making sure it doesn't start, do a manual recheck to check it's working as expected, then start the torrent.
If you have main file(s) only e.g. .mkv but not the .nfo and there are other seeders you can do the same as above and it'll re-download - so in my example the block that contains the .nfo along with some of the .mkv will be downloaded. I tend to copy the files over, just in case but I don't think that's actually ever been necessary for me.
Another option is to have the file you care about and have the SRR file to restore the files to the downloaded state - adding .nfo files but it can also put the files back into those annoying rar archives. This way you can be the only seeder without having too many extra files hanging around. These are quite rare though.
Yup, this is me with scp. Well, it would be if I didn't just use asterisks to avoid that PITA.
Those rules be more of a guideline though.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.
Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.
