Bittorrent declares war on VoIP, gamers

A torrent protocol should come as no surprise

Honestly, TCP is a TERRIBLE fit for BitTorrent. Slow-start takes time to get to the send rates which are achieved on the internet today, and by the time they do the connection is over since BitTorrent exchanges fairly small sized blocks. As long as the people over at BitTorrent are responsible about creating their protocol I really think this will be good for everyone as opposed to bad.

I wrote a post about why this is a GOOD thing here on my blog
