My @$$. Those guys in Delft eat up millions of subsidies but they can't even prove that P2P is a more efficient technology than http downloading or streaming is. By the way it isn't. P2P is a horror for ISP's. The UK ISP's shut down the BBC iPlayer. BBC wanted to save £3 million by switching to P2P and that switch cost the UK ISP's almost £1 billion for extra network costs. So they are back to old school streaming. P2P is 99.9999 used for illegal file sharing which is just plain wrong. P2P users drive up the costs for broadband: the P2P users' broadband links are sponsored by non-P2P users. P4P solves just a small part of the problem. Yes it sucks. P2P researchers? My @$$.

Their client is a piece of crap and their own network is dire. With the increase in broadband capacity for the average peer, decentralized tracking seems to me to be more than capable of picking up the slack. Apart from the average TF reader, who really cares if TPB went offline, the world would not stop turning and p2p wouldn't grind to a hault. I doubt it would even slow down. The main problem is that the average person thinks the be all end all of filesharing is TPB, its not, the end user is, and if they themselves participated in the larger community by being part of a decentralized swarm they'd do far more for the p2p community that simply posting "Go Pirate Bay" on some blog, which helps no one.

stop using the internet if you don’t like public stuff

and mininova had some problems when tpb was down

if you are afraid of viruses it means you don’t know what to download and you shouldn’t be on the internet

public trackers are all about sharing and not being sellfish

tpb is a symbol of file sharing, that’s why is so important and if it goes down and it takes bittorrent down too it will make space for a new and improved p2p network, this happened to napster

This is due to the same reason the download are great, people want better D/U ratio and therefor if you're late on a file all the upload is provided when you finishes your torrent. With a ratio of 2/1 or greater the uploads won't be near as good as the download rate. This is simple logic, due to more users trying to "hog" other users "download rate" with their own "Upload rate". Want fast downloads with slow forced uploads?! Use Private Sites! Want slower but reasnoble downloads and no force (however I always leave it as 1/1)?! Use Public Sites!

That's just torrents with TPB as fallback. Hence, nothing to see here. By the way, what again was the difference between Napster and TPB, other than the protocol? TPB provides trackers, hosts torrent files and descriptive metadata. I don't see a relevant juristic difference to Napster. I believe if Napster had been started by the TPB guys, it would still be up and running today., because it wouldn't have been subject to the laws of the USA. The red bar hardly matters.

Always the same single point of failure story: OpenNap clones are still active but to say the least they're not really mainstream anymore. But nobody can shut down decentralized networks such as Ares, Gnutella, or eMule's eDonkey/Kad. Remember what happened to Napster?

There is no advantage of using bitcomet vs utorrent in most cases. public tracker have dht enabled while private have it disabled.
private tracker would go dead as soon as the site goes down.
