How many time that your family ask to you repair (mostly need to restore) the home PCs that you never use? I got thousands...

Wired 13.01: The BitTorrent Effect

Wired 13.01: The BitTorrent Effect

What is BitTorrent (BT)? I probably do not need to answer too much for this question, since BT is so famous in the past two years. The original idea of the BT file sharing is so great that we can retrieve the files we need in a far much faster rate, eg. one-third of the normal client-server transmission.

However, illegal traffic has been dominated in the current situation. On top of it, people are limiting their upload rate, which create a bottleneck in the whole system. The original aim of BT has been distorted. At the same time, Hong Kong government is going to accuse people of illegal traffic with BT, with the aid of various ISP.

Will it be the end of BT? Or will there be any BT2? What do you think?
