Such a fit of pique from someone who can't read, or who is completely ignorant of the ISP situation in South Africa, where I live. I won't try to debate the points raised, since the poster clearly intends not to visit my blog again. Whatever.

I don't work for a software company or the Movie/Music industry. I *write* software for a living, and I have made numerous projects available for download entirely free of charge, including the Mustang/Miami development system, and my SMS program.

I don't claim to be an expert on BitTorrent, but I have used P2P networks for some time, actually beginning before Bram Cohen developed BitTorrent. I do know how to download a Torrent, and I said as much.

If you want to download software from untrusted sources be my guest. I prefer to use Open Source software or commercial software from a source that allows me to try before I buy.

The virus/malware "paranoia" is well documented in older posts, where one so-called "crack" from a P2P network screwed up my laptop with malware and I was forced to spend a week reinstalling everything from scratch.

The only insulting remark my dear friend made was to accuse me of using an iPhone. I wouldn't be seen dead with an iPhone after the way Apple treated me. But then if he had actually read my blog for any length of time he would know this already.

I am glad "my" bookmark is no longer cluttering your Safari browser.

Shut up you are a NOOB. First of all all you need is an antivirus & uptodate (which you could download). What? Do you work for a Software company or Movie/Music industry? What's with the virus/malware paranoia? Most P2P ("moron"), Like TPB (The Pirate Bay) have comments. Hello? Read them. IF YOU ARE SUCH A NOOB THAT DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO "TORRENT" DOWNLOADS! You sound like a paranoid freak (stick to your iPHONE or BB). Stop commenting about things you have no idea about. Utorrent + TPB = All MS, Adobe, Movies/Music (can't get virus/malware with these last one)ect. As for bandwidth or your ISP known "PeerGuardian 2", Mr. Donn Edwards. YOUR BOOKMARK HAS BEEN DELETED.
