when most people think of torrenting, they think of pirating.
that's why years ago you could not run a legit torrent site with most reliable dedicated hosting providers.

torrents are a great way to save bandwidth for file distribution and game updating.  unfortunately a lot of people don't forward their ports, or are unconnectable for othe reasons.
there's a lot of dumb people out there.  when i ran bbstorrents i had people download all the files 5-6 times. I have no idea why. it's like they didn't know where the files went.
