I can't stand Bit Torrent. It will connect to endless amounts of peers... but my d/l sucks! I can easily pull 400 KB/s off of OOL's FTP server but BT never gets above 50 KB/s tops... and that's if I'm extremely lucky. Most of the time it's 10 KB/s or less. Talk about a P.O.S. file sharing program.
reply to BTSucks 10 kilobits per second, "Maybe if there is only one seeder" I commonly have 70 kbps up to 226(maximum) Granted, I do have a fast connection compared to the average Joe. "3 megs per second"
FTP can be nice if you find a good server but Bittorrent is greatly gaining popularity... You can find torrents for anything at all, literally.
