Have you heard about electric sheep? I think it is pretty damn sweet, and can't wait till dreams in high definiton comes out.
http://www.electricsheep.org/
Just be warned, though, that this thing can take up some space with time. The limit is set to I think 1gb by default, but right now I have it taking up 5GB of my HD.

get all 3 of these, they are sweet
you can go to keygen.us and get the passwords for them too, but they will also work without, but a box will pop up eventualy and say "hey, register" and then go away.
i prefer the kinemorphic screen saver above all, its like a combo of the other two... ENDLESS possibilites.

The kinemorphic saver is pretty cool, I managed to mess around with the settings and got it just right.

The Electronic Sheep thing is damn cool - got onto the DC++ hub and did a sheep download spree.
Even when I've been watching TV, my monitor has gotten the attention out of my corner of my eye and have found myself entranced watching some of the animations without even realizing it.

Hmm.. Im thinking that, but the link they give you to test your connection won't work for me. Can someone else try it and see if the link is even any good?
It can be found HERE

Are you behind a firewall/router? May need to set up portforwarding for port 8090.
Or, put your computer in the "DMZ".
Most of the ones I've downloaded I've gotten from the DC++ hub.

hmm... I opened the port on all my firewalls but I still can't connect to that link on their webpage. I guess I will just let it run all day today and see what happens =/

I'm rather certain that I've heard of computers set up as being in the demilitarized zone being subject to a choke on bandwidth.

It can, as it's no longer dividing the bandwidth between the other connections on the router efficently, it basicly 'takes what it can get' as not subject to whatever settings/firewalls/etc you have on your router.
Also, the thing I noticed with the sheep
- The more you have downloaded, the smoother the transitions between the animations are. Its just a bunch of mpegs, and when you only have 2 or 3, the switch between them is abrupt. But as you download more, some of them are a repeat of the same 'main' animation, but the start/end of the animation is different and provides smoother transitions into other ones.
So, the more you have downloaded, the more paths of smooth transition that are possible get created.
Or, I could be wrong .... I've just noticed that when I only had like, 3 or 4 of them, it was 'play one 4 second loop, then an abrupt stop, then the next one', and now that I have a few gigs worth - I can get rather long periods of time where the transitions between loops is very smooth.

nope, you're right. It works smoother with more sheep downloaded.
