Heated Palm rest is too hot to handle !

[snife]

Mine gets too hot when downloading for a while (like 13GB from torrents). This should not be done anyway on a notebook, but I sold my desktop and still have not made a new one and I need my tv shows.

I would like to ask why it should not be done on a notebook. Logically there is no reason. Leaving your laptop running with the monitor turned off is no different than doing the same with your desktop - unless you have a really really bad notebook with a grasshopper flapping it's wings in place of a heatsync (Also reffered to as the Dell CPi by laptop boffins)

I agree - I have exclusively used ThinkPads for several years now so I expect them to do everything (including downloading 30gb+ at a time)
