10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!

My Notes
A DVD recode of Shakespeare's Globe production of Much Ado About Nothing.
I've seen it many times over the last four years since I began this torrent project on another torrent index.
Shakespeare's Globe is an open air theatre exposed to the sky. This is the production where you can see the 'groundlings' in rain gear-- but no umbrellas allowed.
As with all the Globe shows the cast is first rate. Charles Edwards who is familiar from Downton Abbey and more recently Henry IX and Batman takes a great comic turn as Benedick. Eve Best who has directed for the Globe (Macbeth in these fileshares group I've posted) is one of the most versatile of Shakespearean performers who is equally at home on television in "Nurse Jackie" and continues in television work as well.
Eve Best and Charles Edwards individually in their soliloquies with their audience will give you two of the finest live audience moments recorded for video.
The Globe productions are available on DVD. Get them or request them for your libraries.
