PB programs under DOS?

I stumbled on this, which "might" allow console mode PB programs to run under DOS. Might be useful for somebody.

Yeah - I've changed from Azureus to µTorrent. It's really good.

A good site that compare BitTorrent clients is,

What's really the purpose of BitTorrent? If it's common stuff you want it's on the internet, if it's rare there's no torrents for it anyways.

(Ok, reducing server load for legal stuff.)

Not all true - more and more "legal" sites are using BitTorrent as a way to download stuff... and you have some BitTorrent sites with only legal stuff. As you wrote - it reducing server load. World of Warcraft for example, used the technique for updates.

I haven't tried it, but it works with ed2k, gnutella and Torrent p2p engines.
BTW, azureus is not free, is it?
EDIT: sorry is Morpheus which is not free
