Is that your opinion maybe because you have little understanding of how bittorrent works? Please explain to me why this is such suspicious behavior. What is it you think is a possible effect on bittorrent or even the utorrent client? Nada. Zip. Zero. None. You can't show me one thing possibly adversely affected, besides possibly Strigeus' standing in the community for "dealing with the enemy". People need to realize that even p2p idols need to eat. It would be so refreshing to see someone actually do their research before offhandedly condemning last week's hero as this week's traitor. note: these remarks are directed at this readers write imbecile, not p2pnet.

Hi,
