    Apple would never do this because of all of the BAD uses for it and by bad I mean illegal. Think what you want, but Bit Torrent gets labels a tool of pirates....regardless of the fact that you can use it for:

    1. Legal downloads of content.
    2. Legal downloads of Linux/BSD CD's.

    I don't care how many good uses there are, Bit Torrent will always be labeled as a piracy tool.

    How about first fixing the FTP client in finder to allow UPLOADING? currently, OS X only supports uploading from the command line, a drastic oversight, yeah?
