Always get a bit nervous with torrent sites (when I've used them). Usenet all the way

What's promising is that the BT protocol is still being actively developed. And there are even other protocols (some with more emphasis on privacy/security) being developed that may eventually supplant BT

TBH, I'm kinda surprised bittorrent didn't disappear entirely. Japanese programmers have developed some clever software that don't require websites to host any "illegal" files. They're entirely decentralized, you're only required to run the software and nothing more. They've got built-in search capability and user signatures (helps avoiding fake files). Now, if BT ppl could be convinced to use these instead, BT would disappear... No BT sites, no owner to arrest, less risk.

that type of software has been around since just after napster died (for being centralized) and long before BT even existed.
