My computer got a nasty virus after I loaded Bittorrent. Once I got the virus cleaned up I took Bittorrent off too.

Interesting. I haven't had that problem. Which client did you use? I like Azareus... the biggest problem I have is the big torrent sites have tons of spyware. I mostly go to teeny little sites listing a specific anime, so it's not too big a problem for me.

Decided to restart it. Eh... at least now it's seeing some seeds.

Bittorrent is evil. Bandwidth-sucking thing it is. Worse than Gnutella, given the chance.

Have banned it from my network. It's a bugger though... since it auto-seeks available ports. Can't just shut a port. It starts looking for 68xx something, then hunts port by port all the way up to 7000 or something. Gotta block 'em all to keep it out.

Arrrggh. :-) Bastiges.
