Yup, and I note that people have been very patient and helpful in providing exceptionally detailed replies. Whilst you (and others) might find that one person asking a lot of questions is annoying, the fact that he's getting replies, and the replies cause further spin-off discussions says to me that it's discussion people want to have. That aside, I appreciate that it's possible that being a new user to Ubuntu and Linux, Javad is asking a lot of questions which could somehow annoy or irritate other members of the group. It's a difficult balancing act. > Be it a machine to download torrents, a way to rip video or something > else it's constant... Many of those topics are of interest to many people. I was interested in the remote torrent discussion - I have a box which I use for this. Encoding video is also something I am interested in from the perspective of someone taking .dv files and making usable video files out of them. > Is this what this list is meant to be about?

Perhaps we need a better description of what this mailing list is about? Suggestions welcome.
