Not all torrents are created equal is more to the point. The torrent program is safe in and of itself, it's that the files you may download might be suspect. If you stick to legal torrents there will be no trouble, I've never seen a bad (virusmalwarespyware) legit torrent. There are too many users downloading them and there are usually forums or feedback for each torrent so if there are any issues it will come out in the feedback.
When Apple finally added podcasts I'd hoped they would have created a bittorrent client from within the itunes app so that the bandwith for podcasts could be spread around to users..alas no such chance. If you look at a podcast like twit, they have a reported 200k in downloads a week I believe. That's a lot of bandwith. Mike On Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 4:45 PM, Rev.
