I grabbed a copy of those "controversial cables" that the world is hooing over. Things like "Sarkozy is a self-conscious midget with a Napolean complex" - I talked to a few people at work (I live/work in France) and it's a revelation to _nobody_.
Anyway. It was a torrent.
Get yourself something like "Free Download Manager". It's what I use and it works well.
The interesting thing is *finding* Wikileaks in the first place. A hint? Wiki for Wikileaks. It gives an IP address. Go there, ba-bing, it's the site live.
And you can, optionally, take a moment to ponder why that Assange wally in the Wikileaks logo is doing that bizarre pose. He looks like a Bad Guy from that Austin Powers film.

TBH, I would prefer if WL kept to the earth-shattering revelations and didn't waste time with minor trivia. What some bloke said about some other bloke may be unpleasant, but it's nothing like reading eBay comments. Let's move on guys...
Best wishes,
Rick.
