I was torrenting old Dr Who episodes at work, and I made the whole intranet crash. The network guy was out for the day, and so they sent us home early. It made my day, as long as no one finds out it was me.

… This post? IMMD. Maybe you can blame it on the BadWolf virus? – Ayla

First!
niiiiiiiiiice. high five, bro. hope no one finds out it’s you.
Don’t celebrate too much. Your victory will most likely be short-lived. The “network guy” is going to very easily be able to track the cause of the crash back to you. Logs FTW.
That’s pretty funny, but if the network guy knows his stuff, all signs will point to you, or rather your workstation. Better get some good explanations ready just in case.
I sure hope for your sake that the rest of the employees + the boss don’t read this site too often…
Lame. You’re gonna get it for this one.
Well, the network guy obviously doesn’t know his stuff. If he knew, using torrents at work wouldn’t have worked in the first place. And one workstation’s unallowed torrenting certainly shouldn’t be able to crash the whole network…
Either the guy responsible doesn’t know his stuff or he had lowered all the protections so that he could use torrents himself. (I’d bet my money on that) I doubt that Alfonso gets caught.
Anyways, great IMMD. However, wouldn’t recommend doing anything illegal on work computers. You’ll probably get away this time but maybe aren’t that lucky next time this happens…
Dude that’s DORKTACULAR
This post? IMMD.
Maybe you can blame it on the BadWolf virus? =P
Ok this post here made my day!
comment win
WIN. Major win. You officially MMD.
WIN!
freaking brilliant!
I would love it if that happened to me right now on our intranet.
I like when people say they crashed “the whole internet”. Would be kinda cool to see.
Torrenting is bad, and posting this here, there are good chances the network guy will read it. I know, I’m a network admin.
Maybe we’ll see someone post “The other day, the network at work crashed. After reading itmademyday.com, I found out who did it. IMMD” That would make my day.
HA! I’m a network admin visiting these sites as well, and I found this “crash the whole internet with a torrent” funny as well.
I very much doubt that the torrent crashed their network, but I would lol if the admin responds…with pictures and logs.
if no pics, then it didn’t happen right?
but… he didn’t say he crashed the whole internet. He said he crashed the INTRAnet.
it may not be possible to crash an intranet with torrents, I’m just confused by the wording you used.
Doctor Who=win. x] You can marry me.
Oh, and you can watch them free online anyways, who needs a torrent? it’s like watch-episodes dot com or something. you don’t need a torrent for the old or the new series.
Shoulda used your Sonic Screwdriver to fix it!
Sonic Screwdriver ftw
After having a massive network crash, I had to send all my employees home. Later, I was surfing the web and saw that it was Alfonso’s fault. IMMD.
No worries! Chances are the “network guy” loooooves Dr Who!
Too bad you didn’t have your Sonic Screwdriver…then you could have done a lot more damage!
I bet the sonic screwdriver probably did it.
Years ago, it took me six months to get every episode. So slow.
just hope your boss doesn’t look at this site
If you do get caught, just think “What Would Captain Jack Do?” Then, when you’re done with the orgy, no one will be in any state to care anymore.
Now THIS made my day. Thank you.
Although the mental images are kind of disturbing.
This comment? IMMD
Captain Jack is awesome.
so many things here to make my day.
I’m guessing the network guy got to stay and fix it. Bet he’ll be just fine about it when he finds out it was you!
I know who you are, I know what you did, I told the boss!
Seeing as I “crashed” our family’s internet connection when at home over break trying to load way too many Classic Who vids at one time on YouTube….Oh, yeah.
Suffice to say, my parents and sister were quite annoyed when the DSL connection was reduced to slower than dial-up.
That was fun.
Dude, just bake him some TARDIS shaped cookies and it will be all good.
OR put a bluetooth in your ear and pretend to be a pre-cyberman when getting reprimanded and call someone and refer to them as Lumic. That’s pretty much as nerdy and devoted as it gets.
wow nice. i think i will do the same
