I am using the original BT program. Is there a better one?
Yes: I strongly recommend µTorrent -- which is also sometimes (correctly) referred to as "MicroTorrent," but is also very often (erroneously) called "UTorrent." [ * ]
[ * Irrelevant Nitpicking: - "UTorrent" is technically incorrect because that letter at the beginning is the Greek mu -- which is µ in lowercase, and Μ in uppercase. The lowercase µ is often used as an abbreviation for "Micro," hence the correct name "MicroTorrent." Despite the slight resemblance, µ is NOT the Roman letter U / u -- and yet even the website is "utorrent.com". Go figure.]

iirc, they made up the position because they wanted to help her out a bit without seeming like giving charity

couple of theories:
1. Father stays on the run, family disowns him somehow and declare bankruptcy
2. sale of the Sasa-no-kan pays for the huge debt. They figure they'll tell dad when they can

Sasara seems like a device concept, where it provides a service (soul-healing, etc) but a place to stay only if you have a role as a part of the device. With Saya taking over the boarding house, there is no role really for Teruyo and her mom to fill, so they return to the real world. Yah, it doesn't make much sense, but it's how I interpret it.

It bothered me since the series ‘Teru Teru Ashita’ was based on a pair of books completely unrelated to the one for ‘AmeYume.’ It almost made it seem as though the producers weren’t confident with the premise of the show and so had to throw in the odd reference to ‘AmeYume’ to remind the audience of that previous success instead. Ah, well…
Other than the loose ends, I really enjoyed the series. Perhaps the DVD set (which is said to include extended scenes for each episode) will clear up some of these questions.

Hopefully, there will be a special where they will clear some of that up...

i agree with u...
hope there will be an extended version on the dvd set..
or may be there will be another continuity of the Teru Teru Ashita...

"u" is just the accepted typewritten shorthand for µ b/c scientists and engineers are a lazy bunch and we don't want to waste the time and effort to type out the danged thing when the u gets the point across... i guess it probably amounts to a science/tech/geeky kind of inside joke to see who calls it "u" or "micro"...
meh...

Yeah, her cellphone. I found out it's the Panasonic P902i, but I heard it's not woking here in Europe if I import it, so I'm still finding out how that network stuff works

The only thing I didn't like about this series is the little girl, Yusako?
I mean I thought the whole time that she was a ghost stuck on earth cuz of her mother's death and maybe her own suicide?
Spoilers:
Hidden:
When I found out that she wasn't and she was Teru-Chan's mother?
The storyline didn't make any sense to me after we found out that Yusako changed her name to Keiko and yet her ghost or past kept showing Teru what happened to her?
If that person is still alive then how is it possible to even suggest that they're dead?
