All jokes aside, here's the difference. If you're trying to DL a big
movie on WinMx, you need to hunt for sources, then hope to get in a queue,
then pray the guy stays online long enough to get the file. In reality you
may need to wait days or even weeks to get the entire thing. With Bit
Torrent if it's listed, you start getting it almost immediately, and as it
DL's the speed gets faster and faster, hardly ever getting kicked off. For
individual songs, WinMx is still much better.
