Aww, AOL (which owns Engadget) bought out Ben? Oh well, Nullsoft did okay with them (although they did make them remove some freeware apps; there was that one interesting private p2p software very few people probably remember because it was only online for a day or two).

Anyway, the point of all of this is if someone is going to take the time to mod something then help others do the same, there isn't a reason to put them down. Save that for Zune owners.

Ahh yes, the p2p program you refer to is WASTE. You can still get it on sourceforge. Myself and a group of around 10 people used it a lot back in like 2003, after a couple of years our group kind of died out. Good memories, though.

Thank you! I could not remember the name. Pretty much the same deal with me a a handful of friends. There was one swed with a 100mbit line we all mooched from though =p. Jebus bless dark fiber! I'm sure most people know this, but Nullsoft is probably known for another little piece of software called Winamp =). I don't remember when AOL bought them up, but I like to blame them for Winamp 3 being so crappy (that's why there was never a Winamp 4, they had to wash themselves clean of the shame =p).

For all the crap that AOL can be blamed for, they do support a lot of podcasters that otherwise wouldn't likely have the resources at hand to put out their content. They probably did something else good but I can't think of it atm. Oh, well, funding Weblogs, Inc. (home of Engadget) would be another one. As many stupid user comments and sometimes author-created ones as there are, it's still a site I check daily =).
