Where do you think the torrent community will be in 10 years?

It won't last for 10 yrs,anew ways of p2p will appear though

Gone, most likely. I'm guessing with the attacks on net neutrality, the increased legal pressure in the US, and therefore a lot of other countries, that torrenting and filesharing as a whole, in its current state, will diminish. The number of public sites will begin to decline, and private sites (if any still exist), will have a much, much more heightened level of security, and most likely use a different protocol to share warez.

I think it will still be here. Usenet is and this is cheaper and better for most users.

Do you think there will be a change in the technology or everything will be the same ?

1st there was Napster, then kazaa, imesh, bearshare ...

Nothing Lasts Forever..... G N'R - November Rain

[forthat]

if p2p dies almost half of internet traffic is dead.........
i think torrent are replaced by high encrypted protocols and probably 265 bit encryption in the sites..........

most torrents will become Under Ground .....

The technology will definitely change due to all the law suits taking place globally.

I think the future will have a protocol similar to BT but will become tracker-less (no website) and will use a system similar to Tor so they nobody can verify that the IP they see in the swarm is downloading illegal content. Also encryption to avoid traffic shaping.

Forget BT prepare for "The Grid" baby - 10,000 times faster than todays ADSL

We might not be using the bit torrent protocol but filesharing will never die, there will always be a way round it

10 years ago I was using a P2P program called Hotline, which pretty much no one uses anymore. I think it will be the same with BT. Things get improved upon and replaced.

Absolutely, there will be something new, but we'll have to see what happens with net neutrality and isps.
