It seems like only yesterday we were forced a peek at Bram Cohens attractive* face as he panhandled for donations every time we closed the original BT client. Flash forward and 20 million are logging on per day from 220 nations to share files. Legally, of course.
What makes these figures ever-more impressive is that they dont include the users of the nigh-countless unofficial clients, of which many of you likely are.
Its a wonder BitTorrent is comfortable even revealing these numbers (especially considering the aforementioned hundreds of millions more users), considering the services reputation as the essential piracy tool. BitTorrent does have initiatives to promote the legal sharing of files (via its Artist Spotlight Program and such), but lets be honest whats in your BT queue right now?
