I overlooked the other then phrase. sorry. Surely Bittorent is the protocol which is mostly used for illegal movie downloads. i don't really see how a protocol can be illegal if it is not. -- http://www.pfennigsolutions.de -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org

I also think it's a good idea. Add the .exe GNOME applications available, all the marketing materials we have Also BitTorrent links help, they are increasingly used in the activist/artist/creatove/unconformist environments, where free software is increasignly understood and arising
