torrents are pants now better to use rapidshare.com!

this man speaks the truth.

I recently got done for torrents, issued a C&D and all that jazz. Can one get tracked down in the same way for using rapidshare?

No.
But eventually the RIAA/MPAA etc.. will go after rapidshare and etc for IP logs and so on.

Torrent sites are still better than most other things. Although usenet is faster. Rapidshare is run by n00bs.

is that connected to gnutella?

 

[nickspoon]

is that connected to gnutella?

No, it uses a proprietary protocol called FastTrack. Hence it is the only client for that protocol, and is also full of spyware. Yay!

Don't be, I remember when there was only a single bit torrent application, and the torrent files themselves were a rarity.
