BitTorrent Guide

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the p2p-for-more-than-just-music dept.

An anonymous reader writes "BitTorrent is the new latest/greatest P2P app to come and one of the MP3 rags has published a guide to it. Shareaza has already started to implement support for it, though support is in the early stages. The ruling is blazing fast downloads, but the difficulty of finding .tor files and other issues shows it is still a work in progress with strong niche potential. Information to host files on BT can be found here." It remains to be seen if Bit Torrent can outlive P2Ps bad rep since it is a really useful application.

    BitTorrent, while being a cool technology, still only exists for users to download files which are either copyrighted (warez/mp3/svcd) and/or illigal (porn of varying extrmes) and therefore will eventually die:

    Just as Napster was disabled by the shutting down of it's central directory servers, BitTorrent may be disabled by the shutting down of the "tracker" servers. As every .torrent file needs to know one (or more?) trackers to look at, disabling the tracker servers effectively render a .torrent file useless.

    Eventually, the population of .torrent files will comprise of those with valid and non-valid trackers - posing an administrative headache for it's users.
