thanks for another interesting article, ukbobby. Yes, it does sound like these lawyers are just opportunistic @$$holes who are just trying to shakedown people who can't afford to pay. It sounds to me like extortion, and hopefully the ACLU will be able to do something, although these days, they seem to be stretched a little thin.
Anyway, yes, Vuze does seem to work very well for torrents after over a week of using it. I've had torrents stop for a day or so, but it's probably because of limited seeds, and they usually come back eventually. I still maintain that it's no faster than Limewire, but the connection seems much better. I haven't tried utorrents. If anybody has any comments on that, they'd be welcome.
Thanks, everyone
