How can bittorrent damage your HD?
|
its mainly the content that gets shared on bittorrent that can potentially damage your HD. im not aware of any specific bug within bittorrent that fucks you up. although to be fair this kind of happens with every file sharing app. the thing with file sharing is that people just want the files. no questions asked. so alot of people share, download and open stuff that they dont really know anything about. they dont know the original source for example. and you cant really blame someone for sharing files with spyware embedded into it or the classic quake 3 arena keygens that 90% of the time are in fact SD worms - they probably didnt know either.
thats the major reason why i find anonymous filesharing a bit dubious and i place certain restrictions on what i share. i will for example never share, download or open .exes. NEVER. quickest way to trash your HD.
