DC is well suited to a closed private network, such as university LAN, but let outsiders in, and you could be asking for trouble. Police like to infiltrate and bust DC hubs, and arrest the peers as well as the server operator. You can bet that getting caught sharing a full hard disk of warez is not going to look good in court in front of a judge.
That reason alone makes Bittorrent is a much safer choice in P2P.

these are current screenshots from 2 (probably) biggest private rar hubs. they combined have more than hundred 100/100mbit users, and more than 30 0day dumps.

Our school has ~ a PB of stuff on their hub. Most of the stuff is dupe content though, so it's a bit misleading. Still, it's a nice resource for pretty much everything except music since the vast majority of the other content is scene sourced.
what school?
I'd rather not say. I keep my real life and torrenting/filesharing as separate as possible. There are several reasons why torrenting is still a better idea in my current situation, notably off campus speeds, much better pre-times (the hub's suppliers, such as they are, usually suck hard), better labelling (people have a habit of renaming scene stuff so it's impossible to tell what a file is or where it came from at a glance), etc.
Not to mention the fact that the people who have multi-TB shares are often mirroring each other and are rather disorganized, leading to dupe files even within their own shares. Some people just uselessly hoard content and never consume it I guess :lol:
