I heard of BitTorrent when it was first used to distribute a linux distro. The first time that was done. I don't recall how long ago that was.

I have tried lots of them. I prefer Shadow's expermental client. Because of the options and information it provides about the particular torrent. Also, the bandwidth controls. > ¨ In your own opinion, how does BitTorrent applications rate against > other peer-to peer applications such as Kazaa, iMesh, Morpheus etc? I feel the quality of downloads is much better and the protocol is much better than those clients that do not do shared dowloads. > > ¨ How do you see the future of BitTorrent? As file sizes increase (and they continue to), BT will be more important. I think we will begin to see either parts of the protocol implemented in other P2P networks or the entire protocol. I think that it will become important for anonimty to be part of the BT protocol. That will be difficult, if not impossible to overcome with the protocol itself (particularly because it is not important to Bram). > J Thank you for your time and effort J > > > > Yahoo!
