Seventy-five years later, American military historians find few analogues to the intensity of the fighting.

The ensuing battle, passed down to us as the Battle of Tarawa (Betio is part of the Tarawa Atoll) was the most violent engagement yet for American forces in almost two years of war. The men of the 2nd, 8th and 6th Marine regiments confronted 4,600 well-entrenched, experienced Japanese combatants in a very confined space. If we add the White House grounds and the grounds of the US Capitol, the total grows to 385 acres, creating an area roughly equivalent to Betio. To put that into perspective, the National Mall in Washington, DC encompasses just over 309 acres. That island, now part of the nation of Kirbati in the Gilbert Islands chain, occupies a mere 0.59 square miles or 376 acres. Software, MP3s and all the like as well.Between 20 November and mid-day on 24 November of 1943, the Second Division of the United States Marine Corps poured over 10,000 men onto Betio island. Most any new movie or TV show and many older ones can be found here. You can find what is being offered through 69.93.6.66/get_mirror.php Though this is a mirror of the infamous SuperNova, which has frequest access problems. Another problem is that you can only get whatever someone is specificly offering, unlike the P2Ps that search for whatever is resting on someones hard drive. This is the fastest way I’ve found to download specific files. The up side is that there are often many files in one, the entire 14th season of Simpsons for example. The problem is that you can only use it for one file at a time. Like eDonkey, it downloads bits of a file from many sources at once. Yet another way is to use the tecnology called bittorrent. I looked up an obsure movie and found dozens of servers carrying it. I’ve began using eDonkey recently, it works well and there is a lot offered by the servers. P2P like Kazaa, BearShare (and all Gnutella clients) do it automatically for you, as well as look for alternate servers. Basicly the same as P2P but you have to manually request the file.

If a download is broken you have to go back and get in queue again. The problem is that if a download is you have to stay in queue and thus online for hours/days. I find that IRC is the best, the servers are right there and you can browse to see what the have.
