Not for data transfer - some use UDP to communicate with the tracker,
but that's not because of firewall issues, it's because UDP is a good
match for the tracker protocol. And TCP is a good match for data
transfer. ;-)

So were iPods - that doesn't mean other people are incapable of using
them, it just means geeks like new technology.
But anyway, if you don't want to use TCP then fair enough, I just
thought I'd put the idea on the table. :-)
Cheers,
Michael
