As others have said, lack of privacy is what makes BitTorrent not the best tool.
Other things may be inconvenient (like good old XDCC or using Google Disk for piracy), or “invisible Joe” (like ed2k, gnutella and Usenet, due to all of these just not being sufficiently monitored by law enforcement or neighbors interested in your porn taste) cases.
And Freenet, I2P (with iMule and what else there is, there was some sharing thing similar to ed2k in experience), RetroShare are not sufficiently popular.
In general good things are not popular.
My point is, let’s wait for Locutus and whether it succeeds in transforming the Web.
A good thing in general, maybe this will help improve compatibility with old stuff and its old bugs, cause it’ll be simpler to emulate those bugs with cleaner code.
BTW, has anyone managed to run Rogue Squadron 3D under Wine? I’m just interested, I’m having that menu input bug not allowing to do anything.
