> Well, that's kind of the point. If you can download something that's 3GB in two minutes, it fundamentally changes how you deal with media. Not really in my experience. I'm a big usenet guy, but I still horde a local collection - if you're using a private tracker you don't want to be re-downloading things all the time because that'd cost you ratio and you still need to hold them long enough to upload them a fair bit. Usenet is really the closest you get to not needing to hoard, but there's still a risk with that, so you often keep it around. I wouldn't say having something in 2 minutes vs an hour, but still needing to keep it around "fundamentally changes how you deal with media". Especially when you can freely stream a torrent using peerflix off a public tracker, but can't off a private one due to ratio concerns.
