Xtorrent: A better bittorrent for Mac
Phill Ryu writes about Xtorrent (not yet released), apparently the Mac-daddy of BitTorrent clients for Mac written by David Watanabe (of Limewire fame). Xtorrent does many things better than many of the clones according to Phill. He says David will ...

BitTorrent buys uTorrent

Comcast and BitTorrent make nice
Comcast has agreed to stop throttling BitTorrent traffic. Well, kind of. What Comcast is really promising is to develop a "capacity management technique that is protocol agnostic." In other words, Comcast still reserves the right to limit your ...
New version of BitTorrent heralds a new age of uncongested file sharing
You probably all know what BitTorrent is: it's the technology that powers almost every peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing tool currently in existence. Whether for nefarious, dubious downloads, or for grabbing the latest distribution of Ubuntu, ...
Big BitTorrent client shootout
A couple weeks back I posted about PC World's BitTorrent client review
round-up, in which four BT clients were tested. This week Webmonkey (yes, it's still around) has its own "shootout" between six of the top
BitTorrent clients. With the ...
Automatically downloading TV shows with BitTorrent
Though I hate to admit it, my "poor man's TiVo" solution consists of me checking CAT every morning to see what's new and then hitting the BitTorrent trackers to start my downloads. I know there are better ways to go about it, but what can I say, I'm ...
Bittorrent banned from Antarctica, and boy, are the penguins pissed
We all had a good little chuckle when Firefox took Antarctica by storm, capturing 100% of the web browser market share. Today the news is not so rosy for bittorrent and peer-to-peer supporters. The U.S. Antarctic Program has banned their use. From ...

BitTorrent client review round-up

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
