    Might not be significant, but I think in 2009 they released a Mac client. There aren't many good torrent clients for OS X so they probably gained about half of the OS X torrenters.

    Ha!.... Corporatism, Socialism, Communism, Oligarchy, Theocracy all different and yet the same. The freedom of information, communication and assembly is the only tool society needs for true liberty. Long live the Torrent.
