It's only when an app starts making money that it gets lots of developers (and usually turn to sh*t). Also not all contributing is code, some of us do "art" and sh*t. Don't come here and think you can assume what people do and don't or what they know. Closed source can get you lost episodes too so whats your point? You don't code open source for the credit, if you do you're a moron. Quote: "The bit-torrent technology is quickly becoming outdated anyways. Many many many people are working on the next generation of file-sharing that uses network-coding, a concept that utilizes linear systems of equations and finite-field mathematics for a much more efficient flow of data." This statement is useless without a link. Looks more like someone trying to seem smart rather than actual technology. To me it sounds like "computers are on the way out cuz "soon" we'll have quantum-computers (maybe)" Quote: “do you people know anything about open source? have you ever contributed to an open source project? there are never more than a few people (that actually contribute code)… its HARD work that you schlebs know nothing about… other than it gets you free lost episodes”

So? uTorrent only had one developer, most apps do when they are new. It’s only when an app starts making money that it gets lots of developers (and usually turn to sh*t). Also not all contributing is code, some of us do “art” and sh*t. Don’t come here and think you can assume what people do and don’t or what they know. Closed source can get you lost episodes too so whats your point? You don’t code open source for the credit, if you do you’re a moron.

These days, web servers and gigantic blocks of bandwidth are dirt dirt dirt cheap, which is why corporate download sites don't need to use any sort of p2p. This utorrent people probably had a gun aimed at their head and a fistful of cash when going into this deal. 'Sell out or get sued' is the usual M.O. for the corporate media monopoly. And it's not like utorrent is much of a program anyways. It would be trivial for a single C++ programmer to reproduce such software within a period of a few months. And besides, it's not open-source anyways, so what kind of fool would trust that software to begin with. The bit-torrent technology is quickly becoming outdated anyways.

I prefer using Open Source as much as possible, because I really like it's idea and how it creates tons of new innovative software, games etc. But think about the positive side of this sell-out, as one may call it: there will be a huge mass of former µTorrent users looking for alternative torrent clients to suti their needs. All it means is more developement and I like it. µTorrent simply grew too big and it wasn't Open Source, that's the problem :) A shame, really, but I didn’t like µTorrent that much anyway because it’s closed source.

The Kazaa ploy as a source of sue em all has about played out its hand. With victims that are fighting back with charges of RICO and that the Kazaa suit settled all terms of the sue em all, they now need a new source of info. Heaven help those that get the next update and think they got something worth sharing. Expect the next version of microtorrent to have some sort of tattletail in it.
