BitTorrent Calls UDP Report "Utter Nonsense"

Posted by kdawson on from the internet-still-alive-film-at-11 dept.

Ian Lamont writes "BitTorrent has responded to a report in the Register that suggested uTorrent's switch to UDP could cause an Internet meltdown. Marketing manager Simon Morris described the Register report as 'utter nonsense,' and said that the switch to uTP — a UDP-based implementation of the BitTorrent protocol — was intended to reduce network congestion. The original Register report was discussed enthusiastically on Slashdot this morning."

    Whoops, I don't pay attention to the business school. Like yale, you can buy degrees there. (it is a business school after all, there are none, including Wharton, where you cannot). I thought you were talking about some kind of graduate degree.
