Having an http option makes it better for those on restrictive work networks--I'm downloading the file because I want to experiment with it, but I certainly wouldn't want a call from Networking asking why I'm torrenting stuff.
- oliwarner 9y agoYes, I understand the reason for keeping a slow legacy option available. Even in your situation, if you're doing this for work and IT calls you up, you just tell them what you're doing. "I'm downloading a very large file over Bittorrent because it's 50% faster than the HTTP download and I'd like to do some work today. Is that all? Thanks. Bye." In some places you'd get that call from IT just for downloading a large file. Getting a call doesn't mean you're doing something wrong, they're just checking it's you, not malware, and that it's for work. If they haven't already blocked it, have at it.
