Recommend a good torrent app?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is open source software, yet people still pay for that.

You're purchasing a support contract, from Red Hat. You're not buying the software, you're buying their consultation. Similar to IBM and Linux.

My GPL is a bit rusty, and I'm not familiar with the problem that has been cited with the dev allegedly circumventing the GPL.

There is nothing wrong with charging for an application that has been released under the GPL. It's one of the top questions the GPL receives.

If the guy is evading releasing his source, for the front end that communicates with that transmission library, then no doubt that's sleazy.

under the mit license (NOT gpl), what watanabe is doing is legal...all he originally failed to do was include the copyright notice for libtransmission.

and i know there is nothing wrong for charging for an application derived from GPL'd work, but part of the GPL states you must make the source available for free if a binary version is distributed. not the case with MIT.

I suppose if you define active that way, then, no, my torrents aren't active However, to be fair, even if I just had Azureus open, it takes more than 30MB of RAM....sooo, I suppose it's all relative.

Yes, but why compare idle resource usage of clients when it will actually be used?
