Nothing.
It's not a price, it's a URL.

I doubt if the book can be worse than the film.
One of the benefits of free movies on the Internet
is being able to watch films you would otherwise
never see. As the saying goes, it's two hours of
my life I'll never have back, but I watched
Twilight: New Moon. Apparently, it's the biggest
blockbuster ever in movie history, so that in
itself made me curious. I like to watch B movies
sometimes, such as Italian sword and sandal
films from the 1960s or horror movies. But
Twilight: New Moon was really disappointing,
just an empty void. It's hard to believe that even
teenage girls, the intended audience, would enjoy
sitting through this movie. The emotionally
tormented vampires seem to be copied from
Anne Rice's vampires, and the war between
the vampires and the werewolves is copied
from the Underworld series of films.

Where do you see an American feature-length film
on the Web? Sounds half interesting. I'd
like to see it just to study the buffering. Never
mind the plot. It can be pandas copulating
in the bamboo or something really exciting I
caught on TV the other night: the adventures of a
Philadelphia meter maid. Reality TV
doesn't get much better.

Torrents. The best place to find them is
If it's not there search on Google with the
character string " "[film title]" torrent" and go
through the hits to find the most active torrent.

I started to download "Nine Miles Down" but quit
after I saw that the process was uploading as well
as downloading, and the downloading speed was
small compared with the upload speed. In other
words, I was suspicious.
The story purports to be about an oil drilling operation in the
Sahara...
Meanwhile, I read the Wikipedia entry on the film and
moved on to the article on Franz Steiner (mentioned
on today's Wikipedia home page) which jarred
my memory of this Oxford polymath and boyfriend of
Iris Murdoch described in Peter Conradi's bio of her.
Steiner died in 1952 at 43, still heartbroken from the
loss of his parents at the Treblinka concentration
camp.
He said that at heart my kind are oriental in
character. I already knew that. I like Borodin and
"Kismet" and Chinese takeout. I have also
discovered this disgusting microwave dish
called the Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowl which
goes down well with a raisin mega-danish
and Sam's Caffeine-Free Diet Cola. The
joy of Southern cooking.
Currently reading _The Botany of Desire_.

That's how peer to peer networks are supposed to operate. Once
you're part of it, you agree to pass on stuff you've downloaded
to other users. A typical session will have multiple connections
going both ways, and if your connection is faster than most,
there's a good chance you will be able to retransmit the pieces
of the film you've got faster than you can acquire new ones.

Yes, I realize that, but I was suspicious that after five or
six minutes ten times as much had gone up as had come
down when I was still a receptive newcomer with a high
speed downlink. I had no idea what I had authorized
it to upload and terminated the operation.

It was just uploading "Nine Miles Down" to other peers,
since I take it that was the only torrent you had active.
There are other ways to download movies on the Web.
Here is one that a friend recommended to me but I
have not tried it:
I prefer torrents because the best thing about movies
on the Web is being able to watch old and rare films
that would otherwise only be available in film archives.
Peer-to-peer file transfer is of course in a legally
grey area at the moment. I happen to know something
about the political controversies because a friend of
mine, Nina af Enehjelm, was a candidate in the 2009
European Parliament elections and campaigned on
ensuring that P2P file sharing stays legal. She was
not elected.
Here she is seeing the sights in New York:

Here is her official EU candidate photo:

She is a former model and here are some old modeling photos:

She is in the tabloids a lot because she is the
ex-wife of a popular singer.

In Finland, who votes? The same people who
vote in Finnish elections, or are the qualifications
different?

Broadway in the vicinity of Wall St. (Camera
is facing north.) She should be more careful
where she stands! Once a year, they turn a
pack of Pamplona bulls loose and they run
down traders who understandably have
suddenly turned bearish.

The same people who vote in Finnish elections.
Nina knew her chances of getting elected were
slim. Basically, she told me some guy in the
Swedish People's Party asked her to run because
she is fairly well known in Finland and she
accepted just for fun, with little expectation of
winning. She is the ex-wife of the singer Tapani
Kansa who is popular here but you probably
have never heard of him. Well, Nina has also
written four books so she's not just some celebrity's
ex-wife. She has a second home in Sweden and I
think the fact that there is greater popular support
for free downloading of movies and music in Sweden
than in Finland may also have led her to overestimate
the appeal of the issue in the EU elections here.

As a Good European, I am certain Nina wanted
that photograph taken because it reminded her
of the story of Europa's seduction by Zeus.
