Re: Bit Torrent Uploads Being Disconnected Thank you for your comments on this issue Jason.
I think "I'd be willing to bet a large percentage of people don't even know they are sharing" is not an overstatement for P2P in general, but cannot be generalized for torrents as well. I have yet to see the torrent protocol used in any malware programs, and people who use torrents quite often understand the difference between download/upload and maintaining a ratio on the torrent, which is what torrents rely on: peers uploading and supporting the swarm.
Oh and I am very anxious to hear about those new product offerings you mentioned. Is there a time frame that we should expect these to be unveiled in? Spring 2006?  |

I agree, I'm didn't mean to toss torrents into that bucket the issue is that the torrent traffic is grouped into that overall bucket where a connection is a connection either it be Kazaa / Limewire or Bit Torrent. Down the line we hope to have the ability to manage each application individually.
