Yeah escalator works but there was also the person under a train thing this morning.

Actually the escalator thing hasn't been too much of a problem for me. They've learnt their lesson on moving the people and I've been getting down to the platform usual time. Please pass that on to your bosses :)

And going from National Rail to Victoria line doesn't use the escalators, and is so much easier to do there than Finsbury Park or KGX. It just kind of assumes the Victoria Line is running, otherwise you're screwed.

When I got there, they didn't let people onto the overground either. It was carnage.

Why is it called reverse commuting though? You're still commuting to your workplace, regardless of location.

Wouldn't contra-commuting be a slightly more accurate term?

Is it because they've walked away or have they been kicked out? Since the most recent update, The pre-lobby seems to be stuck in a lengthy cycle before it "settles" and we can wait for the map to load.

Maybe they have been told to to take the rubbish out by their parents? ;)

It's at all times during the game, or when they don't like the way the map vote's going, or... :evil:

I'm on BO1; I thought 2's MP was shocking.

'99.9%' - the bane of a geek's life.

EDIT - And my mother just switched the router off, so the download that's been running for hours is probably fcuked with only 20 seconds to go :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

Especially one that hasn't encountered Decimal.Ceiling :)

depending on the type of download give jDownloader a shot, even though it's Java based it's decent and allows http resuming downloads

It's worked, no thanks to the dumb cow. Of course if my father hadn't decided that removing the phone socket upstairs was a really clever idea, none of this sh1t would happen in the first place...

Thanks for the suggestion.

I found updating trackers and changing priority helps.
