What ya've got there is a serious case of *not enough HDD space!*

How many times I've been downloading some anime and then got the ol' running out of space notification. I've seen it in operating systems ranging from Windows 3.11 - to Windows 2003 Server, SUSE 8.x to 10.x - even in a few versions of Mac OS. Now this spreads DECADES. And it's getting a little old.

Well, once again, I recently had to say good bye to my OSx86 machine - to make room for a new SUSE 10.0 rc1 file server - dubbed Suzi10. My SUSE 9.3 box (Suzi-LNX) had packed it's 250 GB HDD full with various torrents, of which most were various anime. As I continued to download my torrents though, I needed more storage space... Hence the creation of Suzi10. And now, I'm maxed out on both machines (making for approximately 275 GB of used space).

It's hard to believe that I've maxed out both machines, but I have. Not to mention that I have another 250-350 GB of torrents down in Adrian waiting for me to come get them. I swear, I'm going to download the Internet here soon.

Well, I guess there's one good thing, however annoying it may be... The college has started blocking torrents again, so I can't download anymore (sad and pout). But, the good thing is, now I'm not going to max out my HDD. *Happy happy!* Bad news: I'm 18 out of 20 GB done for one specific torrent. Grrr... I guess it'll have to wait for the end of the term, or at least until I move out of the dorm next Wednesday, and we get cable Internet in the new place.

But, there is a serious need for cheep TB storage in my life.
