woow,12 employees or lets say developers since such a small firm already has a small army of developers/suppliers/distributors to compete in the market !! their uT client is already for free on websites so I guess if they dont have extra bux to pay utility bills,then they have some serious problems

I think it takes more bandwidth to go to utorrent.com, then reach the download page, than to download uTorrent itself :cool2:
