Well I will fess up, I use it all the time to watch TV Shows, I like. I live in an area, where TV is very bad, Cable is worse, and it was a choice, sattelite or my Internet connection. I rarely watch regular TV. I get episodes of StarGate SG-1, and Some BritComs, and Nova from PBS. Many Nations are starting to roll out TV over DSL, and bundle Information Technologies, like VoIP, DSL and TV together. I think BitTorrent is a real Genie, out of the bottle, and more powerfull than any **AA group thinks, especially with the NonCentralized Trackers/ Clients coming down the road. A good site for education on every form of media tranfer in use right now is www.slyck.com [SlyckNews.com], this site gives available info that is concise, educational, and informative. It contains no links to Warez, and host no Torrents, it just give reviews, News and Information.
It covers IRC, NNTP (UseNet), P2P, BitTorrent, DC++, and various other file sharing applications in the wild.
For anyone that wants to understand what the fuss is about it is worth a read.
