How are these BitTorrent trackers not shutdown? Many (not all) of them clearly provide links to software that is copyrighted. How have they not shut down these sites?

Simply put, those sites aren't large enough and loud enough to get smacked down. They will, eventually...and then another way of disseminating the same bits will be found.
BT always got shit dl speed. The way it is set up is retarded. There are duplicate files, like the same movie, say T3, but millions of different "Torrent Files." And no "Search" for BT. Great tech, being able to download a partial, but a stupid stupid implementation. I wish Kazaa would incorporate their tech into their system, after, it's open source right.

Given that, if you believe the original developers (see http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/introduction.html) it was really developed as a download accelerator/load reduction tool for people legitimately distributing software (read linux distributions etc), the implementation is not stupid.
Its just not primarily intended for that kind of p2p activity.
BT generally gives me good speeds between 80-100KB/s. It takes a good couple min or two before it connects to all the seeds though, so be patient people. I think BT is awesome technology, just because it's not easy to search for warez doesn't make a program bad!
I shouldn't have said BitTorent. I mean the site that track what files are available. I mean publically displaying warez instead of hiding it behind accounts and agreements (carracho/hotline/ftp) is different. To my knowledge there are not many sites (http)that provide illegal downloads.

kazaa is not open source. it has been cracked and figured out by some great hackers, but every so often the kazaa people change it, blocking out old clients (and their OSS equivalents). and if the OSS devs were to make a kazaa/bt hybrid it would likely not fit in with the current kazaa network (therefore it would lose most/all its userbase).
I don't need your advice.... please take care of yourself first.
I used to think that BT sucked too. But that was only because I didn't have the latest version. To all of you here that are complaining that it's slow: download the latest version here.
This updated version adds an upload limiter. I always set mine to 1 kb/sec and I always get highass download speeds. I usually get 80-150 kb/sec for what ever I download if there are enough seeds.

Good luck.
Setting your upload to 1 KB/s defeats the purpose of BitTorrent entirely.
It's an extremely useful tool for grabbing big, in-demand files that can take a lot of strain off the original host... but only if everyone uploads.

Heh that's entirely true but my upload rate really sucks and it slows me down horribly... So if I don't wanna render my DSL connnection useless when I still wanna use it then I set it to 1k. Otherwise overnight and whatnot I turn that feature off and I just let people leech.
