[ale] Creating and Verifying Torrent Files?

[James Sumners]

Only for the person trying to distribute something. For the person
doing the downloading it offers very little advantage over a
traditionally distributed file. In fact, it usually ends up either a)
sucking up way too many resources because you're attached to too many
nodes in the swarm or b) takes even longer because there are very few
(usually poor) nodes in the swarm.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
