uTorrent banned by private trackers for "not playing fair"
That's caused several private trackers to boot uTorrent 2 off of their approved clients lists. Bittorrent Inc., the developers of the uTP protocol, has opened it up so that other torrent clients can incorporate it. Bittorrent Inc. admits that there might be a "downside to innovation" in this case, according to Torrentfreak, but it's working to take uTP mainstream, which would solve the problem. Other major clients, including Vuze, are already looking at incorporating the protocol into their software.
Chromatic is one of the best time-wasters I've recently come across. It's all about the gameplay -- no Flash graphics here. You play a "circle" (it doesn't really have a name in the game). You move around with the arrow keys, and you change colors with Z, X, and C.
You can either be red, blue, or yellow, and you can switch at any time during the game. Each color has different capabilities -- yellow can double-jump, while red has a longer dash (which is like a forward sprint, activated by double-pressing DOWN).

Loves the new uTP protocoll. Finally I can download in school with uTorrent again! Being forced to download Linux distros (we are a technical computer related school) through slow HTTP-transfers are just a pain in the ass. Not even FTP is allowed for some reason :S

yo yo yo. whats all this about utorrent.
utorrent i torrent we all torrent. i guess its wrong but give us a system where we can take this rapid data and not break our banks.
we cant go on with paying these high prices because our data intake has increased so much it has become a part of our lifestyle. we must consume data , it is like smoking a ciggarette or drinking a cup of tea.
havign said that i have all the sympathy in the world for artists.
it used to be that you hit the bigtime through your sales, and now thats no garunteed thing. it becomes your job rather than your route to a grand lifestyle , i think, i dont know, im not really in that arena yet , but for me , if i had a dream i would want a big payoff for investing my time so deeply into my art..
so whats the solution?
i dont know. but you know life always finds its balance, the new generations of peoples will aceppt the way things are because thats all they know , and success routes will be changed, people adapt, ... life finds a way.
btw i didnt read the article.

What trackers? None i am from. Most prefer it because the uTP protocol connects to other peers much faster. Why have your torrent move slower because other people are whiners?

Banned for "not playing fair"? Geez. That's ironic coming from pirates. Those of us who write software for a living would like to ban pirates from the internet for not playing fair, too.

I'd like to ban whiny software developers from the internet. Who pays for software anymore? If it's not freeware, it's garbageware and not-worth-my-time-otherwise-I'll-pirateware. There's a reason people don't pay for Adobe Photoshop in their homes for personal use and either pirate it or get Paint.net.

Who is the real pirate? The software developers who put out programs
that require endless patches before it will even start to work, but never work like it should, costing time and money, or the p2p who downloads it to try it 1st.
185 here and to the morons that call it (you) torrent it's micro- torrent.
god, some people are to dumb to be a pirate.

I always thought it was Mu-torrent?
Oh, and no, the developers of software which is meant to be paid for are not the pirates, no matter how you try to justify your actions.
I'd probably say that people who download software aren't pirates, because they are not making money off it. The real pirates are those who SELL means to get paid software for free, that being those who make money off Usenet, Vuse, etc.
(which is why I either buy software or use a free P2P)
