Legal Torrent Sites Help Legitimize BitTorrent
Jeff writes "In today's Seattle Times, technology columnist Paul Andrews highlights how legal torrent sites such as CommonBits may lead to wider adoption and acceptance of BitTorrent. With reports that illegal torrent usage may be more than a third of Internet traffic, sites like LegalTorrents, Torrentocracy, Prodigem and bt.etree may offer a compelling defense to future legal attacks while simultaneously promoting fair use rights. Andrews goes on to argue that the future of television may be no further away than integration of podcasting, RSS, tagging and BlogTorrent."

Just what I want to download, your video of your Grandmother's 90th birthday party!!
are you using Windows or Linux? My old roommate and I frequently tried to download the same file over the same connection, or rather he tried and it went slow, so I downloaded it. I was using the Linux Curses client, while he tried many different Windows clients. I had a PII-266, he had a pentium 4. The Linux client always got much better download rates, and I could run 3 or 4 no problem. The internet connection suffered more than my computer.
