[ltp] Off topic about Bit Torrent

[Don Perley]

I've been using azereus  (http://sourceforge.net/projects/azureus)

It works pretty well in both windows and linux.  It is written in Java 
instead of python like the original BT.  It has lots of tinkering types 
of features, like if you have a bunch of torrents completed you can have 
it automatically drop out of ones that are heavily seeded and get back 
into ones that have leeches but no seeds.

The only down side I've seen is that it needs to be running on a graphic 
console (whether X or windows).  If the computer needs to  be shared 
among family members then in Linux you can't just leave it running and 
log off.  In XP it can keep running in a swapped out login.
