uTorrent is being used by one site...Hi, anon408. <br /><br />uTorrent is being used by one site I saw posting the SP. Mediafire was being used at another site.<br /><br />Security issues aside, I'll still wait until Microsoft releases the SP on Windows Update. Then I know the SP will be complete. I don't need a 3rd party who obtained the bits from some unverified source to tell me the data isn't corrupt or hasn't been altered. <br /><br />Besides, at least according to some sources, although close, the SP isn't quite ready to go out the door. See <a href="http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/Sneak-Peek-A-Quick-Look-at-Windows-7-Service-Pack-1.aspx" rel="nofollow">Sneak Peek: A Quick Look at Windows 7 Service Pack 1</a>.<br /><br />Your computer, your decision. :)Corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110007723754751966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-42318090537475733192011-01-16T17:59:58.690-05:002011-01-16T17:59:58.690-05:00Just thought I'd correct a few things:
> t...Just thought I'd correct a few things:<br /><br />> the SP download ... is being provided via uTorrent<br /><br />uTorrent is simply a utility for downloading torrents, and by downloading it you agree to the Terms of Use which include only using it for legal purposes. Many corporations use P2P for distributing updates, and it also works well for distributing large files such as Linux distributions.<br /><br />> This results in the distinct possibility of a distribution method in which malicious bits are mixed with with good files.<br /><br />uTorrent verifies every piece of data downloaded for corruption or alteration before saving it to disk with a hash check, and bans IPs that fail 3 hash checks. This way, it is impossible to download infected bits of a torrent that wasn't infected in the first place.anon408https://www.blogger.com/profile/03894857680803688390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-67322926364564383832011-01-16T02:40:19.504-05:002011-01-16T02:40:19.504-05:00I require no approval and will tolerate no censors...I require no approval and will tolerate no censorship under the constitution.
