    Eh free ZoneAlarm kinda... sucks... I doubt it'll be fine, as I found I had to add expert settings for my speeds to actually climb to an acceptable level, even though things were working "fine" superficially (green light, port forwarding OK, etc).

    In terms of speed and resource usage, definitely (and that's its major selling point for me). As for its rendering... well it seems to be having elusive bugs (at least in the WebUI), and it turns out there's a bigger effort to get things working correctly on Opera than IE =T

    lol here comes the typical Ultima-makes-a-(semi)-big-deal-out-of-nothing post! =]

    @AresXP: When you explode a string (same exact thing as split in JavaScript like I did), the length is the true size of the list already. Adding 1 is unnecessary. Besides that, counting the commas came out to 154 (in that case, 1 should be added).

    <script>
    var l = "KitCh, ... , TheBIG";
    var c = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < l.length; i++) if (l[i] == ',') c++;
    document.write("Comma Count: "+c+"<br>"); // prints 154... adding a 1 will correct this number
    document.write("Array Length: "+l.split(", ").length); // prints 155, which is correct
    </script>

    @Directrix: Don't fall for AresXP's lies (jp AresXP xP)! As of now, there are actually (155+2 = 157) people on your list.

    Edit: Heh Firon corrected it already... =P

    Commars...? Commas you mean? xD

    And here's a crude way of doing it in JavaScript... save this into some file with extension .html, and open it in your browser (obviously =P):

    <script>document.write("PASTE_LIST_OF_NAMES_HERE".split(", ").length);</script>

    Apparently, there are 155 people right now...

    They're dead for a reason: because nobody has any interest in them, including the developers. So, no, they are not great in any sense of the word. The people have spoken.

    ...

    Heh, it's interesting how you answered your first question so eloquently.

    Like I said previously, it will never be "great" until it's open source because then it will appeal to everyone instead of just one side.

    Gee, notice where I was getting at? Odium said opening the source would appeal to everyone, which obviously you disagree with, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.

    The problem with treating "intellectual property" as physical property is that ideas cannot be constrained like a tangible good (and even those are being threatened by technologies like rapid prototypers).

    Care to point out where ludde's trying to constrain his ideas? They're perfectly open for anyone to see. Just open µTorrent.

    One doesn't even need to see the code in order to modify the client's behavior. Any schmuck with half a brain can Google for himself and find reverse engineered uTorrent clients on leecher boards all over the Internet.

    I never said anything about modifying the client's behavior. I already know it's easy to modify behavior, with or without the source code, and has been discussed enough times on these forums already (I myself have already said that before). The point is, he wants control of µTorrent's development, and there's nothing wrong with that. You may disagree, with your bias towards open source and all, but not everyone might agree with the open source philosophy. That's right, it's a philosophy. Not a truth. And so ludde isn't obligated to release his code.

    We must each have the courage to step out of our reclusive Dark Age into the light of a new Rennaissance.

    Equating closed source to the Dark Age treats that philosophy unfairly. Dark Age carries negative connotations, which the closed source philosophy doesn't deserve to be placed under. Many great contributions have been made without source codes having been revealed.

    The binaries are for the clueless masses who do not know/care about their security.

    Yeah, and if the "clueless masses" downloading these binaries aren't the main group of people being served, whether open source or closed source, then who is? Do developers make up a majority of BitTorrent users?
