I wonder why you don't complain of the visible copy of the same EXACT .torrent file on the other two. Clearly you are a pathetic reviewer.
There's no bandwidth stolen from anyone, nobody is lying here, the code is there for you to see. There's no automated torrent downloads of any kind. If you click on the promotional banner of the torrent you start the download, and if you start downloading a torrent you're obviously a part of the seeding network (if you give, you shall receive, but I guess you're too cheap to share, wonder what the hell you're doing in this forum), no bandwidth being stolen from anyone.
If you started downloading the torrent by mistake you can cancel the download right away, since you haven't downloaded the whole file there's no bandwidth to be taken from you since you don't have any pieces.
Here's a project that's trying to legitimize file sharing so your rights to share files online exist and here's this moron talking crap about it.
If you don't like it so much, by all means go ahead and uninstall it, and while you're at it make your own network and bust your *** for 5 years to make it grow. Competition is healthy.
Stop making pathetic accusations of something which you obviously have not a clue. |
I don't care how you spin it.
I just know that I had hard time getting rid off that torrent that started downloading.
I stopped it, I deleted it, and it kept coming back, like a virus.
It would not stop until I finally exited FW and deleted that torrent form the .networkshare folder.
What's the deal with FW creating folders all over the place anyway?!
I don't remember that behavior in previous versions.
Now it creates folders all on it's own without permission.
And how do you delete those hidden torrents from within FW? You can't. You have to use outside file manager which most users will not know to use and get to those hidden folders. So there will be a lot of "torrent history" left behind.
FW is a huge mess right now, and you're going after advertising money instead of working on the basics.
