well, unless you want to share linux distributions, there aren't many legal. reasons to run bittorrent.

most large files that need to be sent are already sufficiently monetized that distribution isn't an issue.

gotcha, I misunderstood your post above. It's said that 40% of internet traffic is bittorrent and surely 90% is illegal. Piracy is definitely one of the killer apps of the internet.
