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

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

It will die , or I will no longer be a part of it so I wouldn`t care more if torrenting will die or not

It won't exist, without a doubt. It'll be like sending a burnt DVDR to a friend by mail.

It will go obsolete for sure, and their will be another method

will die in the next 5 years - check Moore's law

Torrenting will die FST no :D
There will surely be other ways for P2P

I think P2P itself will die in a couple years, and will be replaced by a faster and safer protocol. Trackers will still thrive, IMO, but will be forced to either change with the technology or just exist as communities. In this new age, file-sharing and "pirating" will only get more popular as the years go on, and eventually will become a mainstream practice.

Spain, or possibly Portugal.

in the cave,maybe:ermm:

In jail prob :-S Money corrupts absolutely. Since the dirving force behind shutting down torrent sites is more money. It's a really hard battle to fight.

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.

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

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

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.
