Who ever is voting this up: Go away.

Seriously, not directed at matt maroon for posting this on his own blog, but I assume most people here have heard of bittorrent and rss before. This isn't new, worthy of discussion, or even vaguely interesting to hackers.

Seems to me that the article would go over great on digg/reddit, maybe you should try there.

A few of my friends who use this site were surprised when I told them how it works. I bet you'd be surprised how many people here use both technologies separately but not together.

But, I could see it being off-topic here too. Not entirely shocked or offended that it was killed.

There are a lot of things like that, which wouldn't get voted up. Obviously, the real pull is its edginess.

People like myself and parent aren't keen on that kind of pull b/c it attracts the "hackers" who think breaking systems is hacking. They tend to be narcissistic and more a drain than a contribution.
