Suuuuuure it’s a Linux Distro…

I had a customer call today asking about why his downloads were timing out. I asked him a few questions like..

  1. What is your ADSL speed?
  2. How big is the file?
  3. What type of file is it?
  4. What are you downloading with?

So he gives his speed - not THAT fast - but faster than a modem.. the next 3 responses to these questions left me gobsmacked..

600megs, linux distro, firefox from a website in Australia
*blink*blink*
So that’s from a website in Australia? What website’s that?

“ahhhmm anpu2…mumble”

Sure.. no problems let me just put you on hold whilst I ask some of the guys.. I’m not a guru when it comes to linux type files..

bwahahaha suuure it’s a linux distro!

*takes him off hold*

Try these programs to speed up your downloads, a web browser isn’t the best method to download large files and perhaps use an FTP program instead! Thanks for calling. 

I think we should remove the shame - own your p0rn downloads! Give us ISP call centre  weenies some laughs. Next time I wanna hear a response like “I’m downloading Debbie Does Dallas 69, and the fucker keeps timing out” If anyone can do that, I wanna hear about it.

    I often wish i downloaded p0rn, just for the high quality dialogue and background music.

    Not.

    bah… anybody savvy enough to actually be able to articulate “Linux Distro” should be intelligent enough to get their porn for free…. another vote for windows Vista I feel.. :)
