Same graphic tearing artifacts as the previous version on my 17" MacBook Pro and now there's an annoying quarter second pause between every sheep transition. I'm going to down-grade.

After one year using electricsheep I'm addicted. Always new and different. a constant suprise. Thank you Scott Draves. Use BitTorrent to accelerate the download of sheep. Check http://www.electricsheep.org/ for detailed info.

Although it took 48 hours before I used it, to be clear it was downloading unseen in the background during that time. I was using the computer normally, with no loss of speed. The computer was also going in and out of sleep. Didn't want people to think the computer had to be sitting open on the program that long!
