no, cause some sites start using bittorrent as an option for downloading demos etc. so i believe that maybe the illigal part may be cut down, but bittorrent lives on

EDIT englisch or somesing

There's still plenty of good trackers up, just gotta find em :p
That and bittorrent seems to be gaining acceptance as a distribution medium. Most of my demos are now downloaded via Bittorrent links. As well as gaming videos etc.

True but you weren't comparing it to napster.

That's true, but you commented on a feature of bittorrent that was comparable to Napster.
