According to Afterdawn they are also offering an open beta to test and get reports on the new technology.  Personally I wouldn’t touch the new software with a ten foot pole, because you know every Tom, Dick, and something AA will have their hands in it as well.  I’m thinking only the Lord knows what kind of vulnerabilities streaming p2p contains and I’m not willing to find out.

Last I checked it looked like NewsGroups were making a come back, which I currently use for my Linux Distro downloads.  Perhaps a new generation of bittorrent is needed to put a little more spring in the step of the pirates and cut down the AA’s another notch.
