Re: [discuss] Bittorrent

Hi Gregorio,
Nothing is final yet but there is a good chance we'll be adding torrent 
file support to LimeWire in the near future.  We've been 
discussing/investigating the possiblity for a while now.  As much as 
we'd like to see magnets take off, torrents are the clear winner now and 
probably in the future.

Thanks!
Susheel
