Not for data transfer - some use UDP to communicate with the tracker, 
but that's not because of firewall issues, it's because UDP is a good 
match for the tracker protocol. And TCP is a good match for data 
transfer. ;-)

So were iPods - that doesn't mean other people are incapable of using 
them, it just means geeks like new technology.

But anyway, if you don't want to use TCP then fair enough, I just 
thought I'd put the idea on the table. :-)
