I'd let you know that I was just thinking that you never posted this. Best person to ask would be the Prime Minister. He tends to be abreast of the current developments. I'm like the ****ing riddler BTW- topics about P2P stuff are NOT allowed. And sorry about the girly font in this post, wanted to get the message across that the RIAA is not something to be trifled with.

[Leo]

erm..
mi post follow all the rules..
and there is no rules on TBD to state that P2P software can't be said..
it is just that we can't request it..
and from what i know bitorren is not a P2P software

[Lezta]

no.

*shrugs*

And it is p2p. I'd explain but I'm supposed to be writing an essay.

P.S. Get Azureus. Google.

99% of the time it's used for illegal purposes, though.

i don't want to see anymore links to torrent sites. :mad:

Leo, read the message again, this time know that there is something in bold for a reason. That's if you haven't noticed it already.

is bitorrent good?

Yes. But it's called BitTorrent.

No. Read the protocol specification (http://bittorrent.com/protocol.html).


it seem like kazaa..

No. To use BitTorrent you actually need to upload, rather than leech like the freeloading shitstains that ruined KaZaA used to. If you're planning on downloading something without giving back the same amount of data to other people, don't bother with BT. Go back to KaZaA.


is it safe

No. The MPAA is all over it at the moment, and will be for some time.


and good?

If you're not retarded and use it correctly, it's the best P2P protocol around. Abuse it, however, and you'll wake up one morning without an Internet connection because your ISP will have cut you off for misuse. :)

No. The MPAA is all over it at the moment, and will be for some time.

Many sites use Bittorrent as a legal way of getting huge downloads done faster for slower connections, so I doubt they'll have much luck.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean they won't try to shut it down, like they comically did with KaZaA. :)
