Pretty much the only people bit torrent fucks over are the idiots that can't figure out how to configure a router. Which imo is another great feature. |
I understand the mechanics of bittorrent just fine. I also understand exactly where that disgusting amount of bandwidth comes from (hint: slower porn downloads for you) and why Blizzard is using this system (hint: less overhead for patch distribution=more Ferraris in the garage).
Add to that the fact that Blizzard doesn't seed the files NEARLY enough, and you still have an asstastic excuse for a patching system. Being able to configure a router has nothing to do with the merits of the system itself.
And, well, if this is such a great patch system...why are people begging for mirrors?
I hate apologists.
