Well, I'm glad Alonso didn't win it - he is an petulant kid and his racing has been all over the place this season; he is also a poor sportsman. Still, this year has been the best year for Formula 1 in decades... possibly ever, despite all the scandals / nonsense with the FIA. Hamilton deserved to win but the team failed him yet again. I'm sure Hamilton will go on to do great things as he dominated the season as a newbie - he is a grounded and likeable character; a good role model to children.

@mclaren2 - Are you being serious? If you are then I'm assuming you're Spanish, hence why you seem so set against Hamilton, even going as far as to call him "ugly" - a statement that is patently untrue. It's like you're talking about a completely different sport.

@theyarecomingforyou

first of all. let me guess: you are from gbr/usa right?

and no, i am not spanish, i am from austria, and i liked following drivers in the past: berger, hakkinen, coulthard, raikkonen, montoya, hill, villeneuve, and currently i like alonso and massa. all of them for various reasons, but nationality was never a part of it.

yes, i think hami is ugly. he looks ugly. thats my opinion. why should it be untrue? isn't it just subjective if you find someone good looking or ugly?

He failed himself in the last two races due to his own (rookie) mistakes, but I can bet he learned from them. All he had to do today was just hang in the top 4, but he was overly aggressive @ turn 1 and his race & potential Drivers Championship was pretty much done.

I'm not bashing Hamilton, the kid has some serious skills and I give him props for that. (Y)

Hopefully next year we can just have some good racing without all the crap that left a big brown skidmark on this years season.

horrible result no doubt. at least the ugly hamilton failed to win a gifted wdc.

but raikkonen, a guy who just makes headlines with getting caught drunken somewhere, is not any better.

fernando alonso, despite having the whole team and the FIA against himself, just failed to win his 3rd consecutive wdc by 1 ridiculous point, the point, stolen in hungary by the prooven alonso-hater scott andrews. :pinch:

this year, in f1, was the worst since 1994, with everyone, including the press doing everything preventing alonso of winning his 3rd deserved title. he developped the mp4/22 nearly by himself, a car which failed to win 1 single race in 2006 to the best car in the grid this year in nearly 2 months over the winter.

but it was not meant to be.- british nationalists and the italian mafia both working 200% to get their own agenda through, finally succeeded in destroying everything.

very sad day for the sport. f1 is not the sport anymore it uses to be many many (glory) years ago.

yeah, i get what you're saying, but the sport is a lot more interesting nowadays. i used to cheer for shumi, but he dominated and that wasn't fun. F1 made most money than any other year last year and their ratings were much higher than those glory years you're talking about.

I was a Shumi fan since his Benetton days then with Ferrari, and despite that, it did get boring watching him win all the time with little challenge from anyone else.

Problem was that they dare not challenge him incase he rammed them off the track.

You got a valid point there. :laugh: Some of his "tactics" were questionable to say the least (eg. Monte Carlo, parking it in La Rascasse so Alonso couldn't take pole away from him).

Breaking news just on bbc news, BMW could be disqualified due to fuel irregularities and Hamilton could win the championship as he would move up to 5th place finish.

I would post a link to the news but as i said, it was just breaking news on BBC so nothing online yet.

looks like i'd maybe have to modify that quote.

what do we have already?

the crane, hungary, fuji, interlagos quali, interlagos race.

sport is dead.

and i remember mosleys reaction after interlagos 95 affair.

i fear the worst for raikkonen (undeserved) and ferrari (deserved).

    • BATorrent 3.0.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

      How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.

      This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
