I cant believe that you people are comparing out of date clients with old cars. Clients that are not being developed are draging the network down. Everytime programers want to add a new feature they have to worry about backward compatability. The network will always be dragged down by these dead clients until we get rid of them. Then the network can grow.

For example, all of the modern clients will soon be CORRECTLY implementing swarmed downloads with fule file hashes. The old clients wont have this. Should developers wish to add encryption they cant because these old clients are dead in the water.
