Am I the only person to not understand Bit Torrent?

[bedake]

This is the self proclaimed Bit Torrent Bible:

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,

But it gives you no control on the amount of upload bandwidth each file uses. To me programs like this are worthless. I guess itâ??s ok if you only download one file at a time and donâ??t use your internet connection for anything else while you are downloading.

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

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.
