Diglo is a new file sharing social network that is getting a huge amount of buzz at the moment. Diglo provides users with a place to share unlimited files, have unlimited storage and even keep anonymity. Diglo is your perfect match between a social network and a file hosting and media search engine.

It will be interesting to see if Diglo can become a strong service if they will just get taken down by Hollywood, Major record labels, etc.

There are many opportunities to take in the realm of legal file-sharing and social networking that you will see happen as FrostWire 5 keeps evolving,” the FrostWire team told TorrentFreak.

One of the most asked question among BitTorrent users, specially the newbie ones, is “Which client should I use?” and a recent report (made by TorrentFreak) took two of the most famous clients, uTorrent and Vuze (Azureus); giving uTorrent a +16% difference regarding speed capabilities.

The BitTorrent protocol made a significant change in the Web area we live in, and today is the most important P2P protocol available. That’s why the associated clients have always been as different as they can be to prove users that each one always offers better speed, usability, scalability etc.

The study took and measured the speed of 10 million users over one month, and the results giving uTorrent defeating Vuze, also evaluates the possible reasons of why this is happening. Two of the main differences between these clients are: How they manage their neighborhood and how they distribute their upload capacity to their peers.
