I did something potentially stupid...

I bought the premium accounts for rapidshare and megaupload. I did this b/c I realized I've got less than a month of internet access left, and if I want to get everything I have to get I'll need the multiple parallel downloads and speed they promise.

So far, though, I'm less than impressed by the speed of both of them. I mean, 3-4 hours for one download isn't very speedy, don't you think? So, I might have spent just under $20 in vain. But, we'll see. Maybe it's just really busy right now or something?

Plus, I can't stay online for the next 3-4 hours, so I'll have to cancel the downloads in about an hour if they don't finish before then. BAH.

EDIT: This does mean, however, that I need more links to downloads for mu and rs! I'm looking through what I've got already, but if you guys have anything I should see that's uploaded to mu or rs, please share the links! I'm getting Torchwood now since I just saw the first ep last night and liked it. I really should try to get a bunch of other stuff, too. I see myself coming to college when I don't need to and spending the day downloading. *le sigh*

Any recs for what to dl, anyone? I've already got links for Torchwood, Oz, Being Human, Generation Kill, Dante's Cove, Prison Break, and Animorphs. What important shows am I missing?

Arthur/Merlin Fic Recs!

B/c jelost bitched but also because these are overall too amazing to simply not read. If you're a fan of the show, the pairing, or just great writing in general, you really need to read these fics. All are well-written, although the genres and writing styles vary greatly.

These are listed in no particular order, srsly. Also, if you like any of these author's fics, go and read more!! Lack of internet prevents me from reading as much as I'd like to, but there really is no need to be thinking there's a lack of great Arthur/Merlin fic *coughjelostcough*
