Re: Since it hasn't been pointed out already,,,

said by Combat Chuck:

This is just snake oil for the script kiddies. This client appears to do nothing substantially different than any other BT client.

Before you tracker admins break out the bansticks I feel the need to point out that ALL BT clients choose who to upload to based on how fast they're downloading from those peers. If you're going to ban this client for being selfish you need to ban every other client for doing the same thing.

And in fact the better a client is at making sure it's uploading to the fastest up loaders the better it is for the swarm as it means fast up loaders will have more pieces of the file to upload which means more distributed copies will appear faster.
Unfortunately, thats based upon the assumption that the majority of torrent users are not selfish in which they are.
