Am I the only person to not understand Bit Torrent?

This is the self proclaimed Bit Torrent Bible:

http://www.spzo.cz/The_BitTorrent_Bi...ts.info%5D.pdf

Honestly i havent really read all of it, but i've been told there is stuff in it for new and old skool BT users. check it out

One good thing in it: has a nice section about covering your ass from the pirate haters,

AZUREUS give you total control over the upload speeds of every file you are downloading. I can set one to use 20kb/s and another to use only 5kb/s etc.

ok utorrent does give you control over upload speed as well but just High,normal and low but you can set it for each file you are downloading.

Two of my favorite torrent sites: www.isohunt.com and www.mininova.org

true, but it helps

HEX:
escaped bytes? %31%32%38%2E%33%34%2E%32%33%34%2E%31%36%00
pure bytes? 3132382E33342E3233342E313600

you can do anything with the internet....its really not hard....i was not trying to impress you....just trying to be helpful....

your right though....i have no idea what any of those things are (hex, lan, wan, cisco, base 64??.)....but i could find out in 2mins....which was my point.

whcih was my point... why give him infro that if he wants he can find in 2 minutes... espically when its the history and shit, yeah most people know what a WAN (wide area network) and LAN (local area network) are but almost nobody knows what a MAN is.... (metropolitan area network) ei city

I liked BT more several years ago when you could pull like 300K from every tracker. Now everyone abuses max_upload_rate and doesn't pull their own weight. Joe User doesn't understand that uploading is essential to the process.

Bram Cohen is a sell out though. He's taken money from the MPAA to push BitTorrent development away from the peer-to-peer scene.
