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."

    That's because Linus's OS was written mostly by Cox. Sorry, kiddo.

    George W. Bush is not a Harvard man, as should be breathtakingly obvious by now. He is a Yale man, and hasn't fallen too far from the tree. He also has no master's degree, but a bachelors.

    Did they not teach that in your bathroom mirror?
