[s-cars] RE: 1988 Trans Am footage -- BitTorrent

[Bill Noland]

I've seen good and bad reviews of BitTorrent. I, too, am a little leery of 
P2P (peer-to-peer) software, after one of the kids mucked up my computer 
with KaZaa. Color me skeptical.

"BitTorrent, the beloved file-sharing client and protocol that provides a 
way around bandwidth bottlenecks, has become the newest distribution vehicle 
for adware/spyware bundles.
Public peer-to-peer networks have always been associated with adware program 
distributions, but BitTorrent, the program created by Bram Cohen to offer a 
new approach to sharing digital files, has managed to avoid the stigma.

Not any more, anti-spyware advocates warn."
