It appears that 'I can has win...twice'.
Managed to get all of the .torrent files from the drive holding my OS and I also got all of my e-mail.
Only small wins I know, but wins none the less.
Now to work out how to tell bittorrent that some files have been moved from their original download folder... ??? (yes, I know check the FAQ)
Found a proggy on the interweb that *might* let me fix the mistake I made with my drive... I hope.
edit: I can has MOAR win! Managed to get most of the torrents seeding again (does happy dance), but have definately lost several anime series, most notably 'Darker Than Black', which I believe 'funimation' now has the license for, darn it.

Overclock that i5!! This baby easily hits the 4 with just air cooling, but don't depend on the stock cooler and instead go after-market.
I don't plan to go higher than this anytime soon.

Don't forget, the i5's lose a memory channel that the i7 offers.
Mmmmmmmmmmm, memory.

I have seen the 'Atomic' magazine where they overclock this CPU to 3+ghz using the stock cooler, but I don't think I want to mess with overclocking yet, not until I am *really* sure I'm not going to break it. ;D

I've seen the i5 run fine at 4 Ghz. The problem with that, however, is you may very well be degrading performance by overclocking. :-\

Only the LGA1366 i7s get triple-channel DDR3 though; the LGA1156 i7s are dual-channel. Not something people would notice, looking at application performance on both.
