I only use BitTorrent for Fedora isos and the occasional Enterprise episode when I miss it on TV. but I truly have no interest in most of the p2p networks. I don't even have an mp3/ogg music collection. I listen on the radio if I listen at all. There hasn't been much music made in the last several decades, although they have made a lot of noise, and a lot of money. :) Well, I've been off topic this whole thread.
