BitComet registered user can benefit from faster download through P2SP. When a registered user moves higher up the rank, more P2SP connections (more resources – see explanation below) could be established, maximizing potential download speed.
P2SP works well when a registered user’s shared torrents are offline through long-time (LT) seeding. Thus, a registered user will find that the download speed through long-time seeding is faster especially for popular/frequently downloaded torrents. P2SP works in BitComet only and not other torrent clients. So, even if the popular/frequently downloaded torrents have no seed, P2SP allows the torrents to be completely downloaded from another registered user who has the complete files without requiring the respective user to start the upload process.

Bill Gates signals end of computer mouse era
Microsoft is developing a system that could spell the end the use of computer mouse, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has said.
"The way you interact with the system will change dramatically," the billionaire said at a conference in Canada, according to a report in The Daily Telegraph on Friday.
He said that computer users of the future will control their machines by voice and pen as well as touch.
Users of Windows 7 will issue commands by touching the screen rather than by the traditional keyboard and mouse combination that has dominated since the 1970s.
Windows 7 is due to be released in 2010 and is Microsoft's attempt to catch up with Apple, whose touch screen iPhone has proved popular.
Touch screens are appearing on a host of other devices, including sat-navs, mobile phones and remote controls. A touch screen BlackBerry is expected shortly.
