You are right, alientech. But considering what is the situation nowadays on the whole, you do realize, don't you, that for the future of file sharing the next logical step to take should be what I wrote in the last paragraph of post #677 of this thread (page 68): ie. torrent and VPN, seedboxes and private trackers. TOR and I2P to browse the Internet.
And better have another look at Usenet and NZB files again.....
