Ok, well not by me, but by PC Magazine. The PC Magazine site has a pretty nice writeup on BitTorrent including some information on the protocol, a little on its history, and even a short interview with its creator, Bram Cohen. The best parts of the article though are the short reviews of three popular BitTorrent clients. The three reviewed are the lightweight uTorrent (that’s a MU as in the Greek letter, not a U) which is my favorite at the moment, the ever popular and expandable Azureus, the brand new BitPump, and of course, the original BitTorrent client. It sure is nice to see BitTorrent get some positive media attention for once. Oh, and if you haven’t used uTorrent, trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Don’t even read that article.
I mean… they wrote that the original BitTorrent used Java!
Pure BS! I bet they didn’t even installed it!

LOL that is a good point…Azureus is Java but the original BitTorrent client is not (it’s Python I believe).

Yeah! the article has some flaws but it’s funny to find out how easy some people earns money…
