I got this PC from my dad when he upgraded in like December ish. I've been running Kubuntu on it and just using it like a sort of general purpose desktop for me and my wife, but I've got a hankering for some tinkering and feel like it has more potential, so I'd love some project ideas!

No, I meant the "Anna's archive" bit, and "seed for 2.1+ ratio" and turn it off and on again - what's that about?

Annas's archive, an archive of scientific research articles and books, might be affected as well. As the download is likely a peer to peer torrent type, it is good practice to let (at least 2) others participate by seeding while keeping the own footprint low, to avoid becoming a target of 'anti piracy' mafia. Setting the seed ratio to 2.1 in the torrent client does essentially this.
