I don't trust this acquisition...

sorry, but the motivations here aren't what I would call being in the special interest of the utorrent community at large... unless cohen can somehow convince isp's to not throttle the BT protocol over their networks, then encryption won't go away... trying to implement an embedded version of utorrent to mobile appliances sounds attractive, but considering the type restrictions that mobile carriers have on their wireless services, then this might not work out so well...

in the end, i don't see this as a benefit except for Strigeus since now he can cash a nice fat check plus royalties while utorrent will eventually stop being utorrent that people like...

utorrenet is done. I like the program. I bet toolbag cohen is rubbing his greasy hands right now.

Hurry, go grab the latest installer version of the real uTorent, and keep it for yourself.

Honestly, as long as uTorrent stays how it is, this shouldn't be a problem. If it changes, however, then we can start getting up-in-arms about it.

An illegal site buying another. Gee, what a shame. Just buy used CDs. How hard is that? iTunes downloads suck and the rest suck worse. Throttle Bittorrent. I'm sick of ISPs imposing caps because of these HOGS!

I trust you have supporting evidence of your statistic, preferably using a graphical layout and powerpoint presentation?
