The fear is security concerns with Windows 10 could lead to a compromise of the entire Bittorrent network.

I don't even care about Windows anymore. Been dual booting 7 and openSUSE the past week and the majority of my time has been on SUSE. I am not worried about game compatibility, It's not like I play the latest and greatest PC games anyway. You can even get DOSBox on here!

Main: AMD FX 6300 six core 3.5ghz (OC 4ghz)
16gb DDR3, Nvidia Geforce GT740 4gb Gfx card, running Win7 Ultimate x64
Linux: AMD Athlon 64 4000+, 1.5GB DDR, Nvidia Quadro FX1700 running Debian Jessie 8.4.0

That article contains so much conjecture, and apparently got sucked in by the EULA/Services Agreement idiocy.

Who cares anyway. Use Usenet. 😁

Of course, the binaries are always the fastest and cleanest way of getting anything. Then there is mIRC and DCC. Or simply have a second machine running XP / 2000 to get your stuff. These corporations seek to stop piracy at all costs, yet still offer day 1 DLC, no playable demo, use false advertising rampantly and unchecked and so on and so forth.

A Raspberry Pi with a cut-down OS is a better option (less noise, less power consumption).

I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
Sometimes going all the way is just a start...

I'm selling some stuff!

Welp, I'm glad I didn't jump on the Win10 bandwagon then. Windows 7 just works and it still receives security updates, so why switch?

Or a router with OpenWRT... or executing your torrent client in compatibility mode so it will identify the OS as Windoes 7/8.

Three small irrelevant trackers that wants to pretend they're more important than they are... When it's perceived as negative about Windows 10, anything qualifies as news apparently.
