Peer-To-Peer: Is it really dead...

...or has it simply gone back underground? And even then, is it still really worth the hassle? Just curious.

In my opinion Peer-To-Peer is going more underground, but its also not worth the hassle to get in all of them, i think jsut some normal open trackers that sometime become invite only are good enough to provie you with what you need

I can not believe you asked the question. How can you say something that is used by over 150 million people dead?

P2P never dies!
But scene is always half dead :P

Scene is dead? how did you get to that conclusion sir? and just to the contrary, all the p2p and entire piracy system runs on the rips made by the scene. 99% of the pirated stuff originates from the scene itself. If ever scene dies, there'll be only open source softwares like Firefox and Chrome left to download from the p2p.

It's never going to die. Even though I use Usenet more now, I still find myself going back to torrents.

p2p is still alive,is it?

If I ever left something back in 1995, and I need to retrieve it, I'm calling anon.

Personally, I prefer to order my VHS tapes through Blockbuster, then make copies onto blank tapes using my 1 play/4 record system. I then mail copies to my closest friends. After they are done watching, they mail the tapes back so that I can fill them up again.
