BitTorrent Calls UDP Report "Utter Nonsense"
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."
Nonsense? From The Register? Ya don't say.
How we know is more important than what we know.
My ISP, Comcast, is already on top of this new bittorrent over UDP idea and has summarily blocked all UDP traffic.

A friend of mine made a lot of money selling marijuana, but then got word that the heat was on him, so he absconded to his own island with the stash, and disguised it from the prying eyes of the DEA by building a mansion entirely from bricks of Acapulco Gold. He decided to launder his money by starting a collection of expensive gold and velvet chairs from the ancient royal houses of the world.
Of course, the whole enterprise ended in tears when he bought one too many 24-karat armchair and the building simply disintegrated. He was whining to me on the phone afterwards and I could only offer him the following simple advice: "People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones".
Sorry.
It is, if you live in Boston.
