zeropaid.com — "Some people have lousier connections than others, and so to start "hoarding" bandwidth and only sharing it with "worthy" people can have a seriously destructive effect on the file-SHARING and the BitTorrent community in particular."

  • MercedRocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Read the title.....it talks about whether or not this is a good thing for the BitTorrent community...

    excerpt:

    It constantly reassesses the "relationship" between yourself and each of the persons you're connected to in a torrent swarm.

    Is it fair to you? Yes. Fair to others? Kind of. Fair to the BitTorent community? Probably not.

    Some people have lousier connections than others, and so to start "hoarding" bandwidth and only sharing it with "worthy" people can have a seriously destructive effect on the file-SHARING and the BitTorrent community in particular.

    Try reading the title first before you comment and call something a "dupe" ya dope.

  • isuldor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not really. That is a digg of the official website. This is a *review* of the software.
