I think I might even do a ba...
OK, I read the story on BetaNews.com and the commenters so far are ripping the toolbar as redundant. Firstly I would like to say that I currently can't find a way to search for multiple words on ONE page at a time. The toobar does that.

I have read only a few articles on it, but the numbers seem astonishing. 1/3 of all internet traffic is BitTorrent users? I am just wondering how people feel about this program.
