>>3 If it's really that good, it shouldn't be hard to bring it up to scratch. Apparently rtorrent, which is bloated and disgusting, gets more development than Unworkable. I wonder why that is?

Argumentum ad populum
Why does Linux get more development than Plan 9? Why is nginx more used than openhttpd? Why is PHP more popular than Scheme?

Why does Linux get more development than Plan 9?
Because it's worse
Why is nginx more used than openhttpd?
Because it's worse
Why is PHP more popular than Scheme?
Because it's worse
Just like this, rtorrent gets more development because it's worse.

>>6 Guess what, the popular argument works here because there isn't any other argument that explains it. The developers of the world choose rtorrent because it works and it works today. You couldn't say the same was true for Unworkable, it was just a toy that needed more work before it was useful.
fallacy, your argument is now objectively invalid.

the overhead from the bittorrent protocol actually working and handling the data far overshadows any "bloat" from the implementation.

>>12 rTorrent uses libtorrent which is implemented in C++. I personally don't care whether rTorrent is bloated or not, but I would be very interested to know why libtorrent doesn't include a standard C binding. Not having that means a lot of added effort for clients that aren't written in C++.

>>13 I don't know why you'd expect the sort of person who would set out to write a BitTorrent library to be technologically competent. P2P is a skiddy playground.

>>14 I thought bittorrent came from the military originally as a way to resist DDOS.
>>15 Too bad there's nowhere to look that sort of thing up, so we'll never know. Might have been the military, might have been a grad student at SUNY Buffalo. It's just going to be a mystery forever.

>>15 I thought bittorrent came from some kike as an effective way to transfer large files.
But isn't P2P the only way to deal with centralization issues? Such as a server going down or collecting metadata? P2P is the only solution, as far as I can see.

>>18 You can use torrents for distrubuted backups. And I think shitbook uses it to push system updates.
Lol some retard made torrent client with C? Seems there are tons of exploitaple buffer overflows. I go craft torrent file for that and see how many new bots I get on my nework.
