BitTorrent stopped working for me a while back
(after an upgrade)
Now, when using other BT clients, ex: Azerus or uTorrent, there are never any BitTorrent clients in my peer list.
I suspect the other clients now shun BitTorrent clients.
Me thinks they have already jumped the shark.
To me, this seems like a scam to get the customers and their ISP's to ignorantly foot most of the bill for the bandwidth required to distribute their (censored)DRM content.
Well, at least I'm not alone.
I use Azureus, and seldom have any trouble as long as someone else is seeding. I also avoid anything that might be illegal, like pirated movies, software or music. It's just not worth the risk to me.
