Torrents can be used for legitimate and legal things too though. Might as well block rar files while you're at it. It's just as stupid an idea.
Even if they did people would probably either create another similar file type (or just keep it the same and just rename it) or use direct downloads.
Download and use never10.

>block all .torrent extensions
There's no reason to do that.
Luis Morgan
You know torrents are a legitimate form of data sharing, many companies use them to remove stress from main servers.
Elijah Morris
File extensions only work to match file types to programs when attempting to open them. You can just drag&drop any file to any program and it would (mostly) open it.
Sebastian Wilson
More fool you, anonymous.
Parker Jenkins
Do you think Microsoft knows that and/or gives a shit? Look at the entire get windows 10 app debacle that screwed over so many corporations. They don't care or are completely ignorant of their business clients' needs.
Kevin Phillips
>Implying they wouldn't get the shit sued out of them by all of the companies that use torrents for legitimate purposes >Implying that even if that happened a "Torrent2" extension wouldn't appear within the hour
Not even a piratefag but that would be a retarded plan.
Wyatt Wright
Exactly. OP is a fag. File extensions are completely arbitrary.
Benjamin Kelly
Do you think Windows would literally force corporate users to switch to different OSes, costing them billions, to fight only 1 form of software piracy that anyone who cares could get around.
Because if so, you are one dumb motherfucker.

I use Deluge on my fully updated Windows 10 machine and nothing has changed about it. Where are you getting this info from? Some paranoid "journalist"?

u guys have NO clue how easily W10 can stomp out torrents.

Bentley Flores
Privacy is dead. The more information we give to corporations, the better services they can offer us through personalization, and the more accepting of it people will be so long as they get better services. The future will bring about more invasive technology to offer even better, more personalized services. Just accept it and move on. You can't fight it.

Eh, I installed it solely for future DX12 titles. However I fully admit Win10 is cancerous, luckily ShutUp10 provides some much-needed chemo.

Bentley Rodriguez
Underrated posts.
Mason Harris
File extensions are nothing more than letters preceded by a dot, all they do is tell the OS what application should try to open the file by default.
What matters is the content inside the file, Microsoft would have to inspect the contents of the file and see if it is indeed actually a torrent file, there are so many problems with this, you'd have to know absolutely nothing about technology to even think it is a good idea.
Even if somehow they thought it is okay to inspect every single file to make sure it is not a torrent file, you could just encrypt the file and torrent clients could decrypt it before opening it.
There is literally no way Microsoft could pull off what you are talking about.
I honestly can't believe you would even suggest this.
Christopher Wright
>what is google
Aiden Gomez
Habeeb it.
Henry Young
Why vista and not 7?
I drunk installed vista on my SSD recently and while I prefered its looks to 7, many pograms like discord and overwatch didnt run. Surpisingly MGSV and Wolf TNO did however.
Joshua Bell
M$ don't care about encrypt or looking into files... they just decrypt files and hire more ppl look in2 it..... face facts retard.... Ur time is up.
Jordan Hall
I tried Win 10 for 2 weeks.
Just went back to 8 because I didn't feel like putting up with 10's shit anymore.
Gavin Perez
What other anons said, torrents can be used for legitimate reasons (for example a lot of legal software download sites offer torrents as an alternative to direct download, torrents are used to share large amounts of data between several hosts, etc). Blocking torrents would literally be a shot in the foot by Microsoft. Unless that's what they want - lose all customers. Huh... Now that I think of it, recent information about Win32 API that might get deprecated, about the extremely aggressive UWP initiative, about DX12 instead of Vulkan, etc might actually suggest that. Maybe Microsoft IS in fact trying to lose all of it's "private" customers - and serve only companies / corporations. Oh well, with increased Vulkan support, and working DX11 support in wine, soon linux will actually become the better gaming platform.
Also, I don't need .torrent files to use torrents. magnet links

OP, you are either being sarcastic or a literal sub human. How fucking retarded are you? It is so obvious you can't afford more than a $300 box and only play GTA Online, Call of Duty and Destiny, you actual fucking peasant.
Nolan Clark
I updated from 8.1 to 10 a few weeks ago.
Spent about 20 minutes following guides to disable all the rubbish.
Since then it's been the exact same experience as 8.1. I keep forgetting i changed OS.
So... what is it exactly that bothers you?
Benjamin Martin
M$ now employs malware/pop-up tactics

But ex doesn't have a magnet link option. How will I get my doujin then?
Only kidding, I'm not stupid enough to upgrade. No company gives out their biggest, newest thing for free without crazy bad ulterior motives.

>I am 100% sure that M$ could block all .torrent extentions. auto delete them or block their execution. same with torrent clients. or both
Not all uses of bittorrent are illegal. most Linux distributions have an official torrent for their download to save bandwidth.
Alexander Ward
Their main motive was, they didn't want to support 7 / 8.1 anymore (which costs them money). So, if everyone (or most of the people) upgraded to 10, they wouldn't have to care about older versions anymore.
Also, they're trying to push their UWP initiative and win with DX12 against Vulkan.
Other than that, paid Windows 10 subscriptions for companies.
Several other reasons I guess.
This user knows what's up. I mean, for example my company uses torrent protocol to share updates among several thousand nodes (something similar to how blizzard handles their updates, if one node already has the update file downloaded it shares with others, helping to propagate it faster), so blocking that would literally block out business, and cause hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars in losses. I mean hell, Blizzard uses torrents for updates, Facebook uses torrent protocol internally to propagate large amounts of data between nodes, some legal download sites offer torrent mirrors (and even prefer if you use them in case of larger files), etc.
Blizzard, facebook, twitter, I'm sure there are few other companies that based their solutions on torrent protocol etc.

and im 100% sure I disabled windows update a long time ago and there is 0% chance of what OP said happening because im not retarded and didn't install NSA_OS_10.
Why don't we just call Bill Gates to block parts of the internet which are illegal?
Noah Ross
the problem with this is, that something gets re-activated at every boot. I had this problem in a VM and decided to stay on W7 (which doesn't have any updates and is as clean as W7 first came out with SP1). Never had problems or virus or other stuff because I only use steam and have some really crazy paranoid linux-setups between my pc and the internet.
Asher Carter
thats illegal, they would get sued the fuck out
Gabriel Thompson
well the EU has sued them and went all the way with it because when booting up, windows didn't give you the option to install any other browser than internet explorer
unlike illuminatifags would have you to believe, in regards to some stuff at least the govts are really against big companies abusing their near-monopoly positions
Jaxson Hernandez
>block all .torrent extentions Thats impossible. You know how many videogames and software still use P2P to updates? Also torrents themselves are NOT illegal.
is windows 10 going to block direct downloads because people can download from Mega?

Hudson Bailey
Not him, but I've had windows 10 for about 6 months and forget I even upgraded after awhile. I torrent the hell out of movies, games, music, anime, tv shows and books and got used to it quickly. Follow the guide to turn some of the annoying features off, put a windows 7 shell on it if that's more your thing and it's the same shit, but at least supported and you get direct X. Everything I copied over works. Maybe it's just me.
And I know you're not going to believe me and probably have your tinfoil hat ready, but while there is some issues that remain, I hate to break it to you, but if you're using 7 or 8 these days, or any google program, it's already on your computer anyway
No, really. The ONLY safe and patrician choice these days is to use linux and no google software. If you're not, then you're taking it up the ass just the same as Windows 10 users, only difference is it's not still being supported and you don't have Direct x 12.

>I am 100% sure that M$ could block all .torrent extentions. auto delete them or block their execution. same with torrent clients. or both This "let's talk about this hypothetical scenario that I just came up with" bullshit is not even worth talking about. MS could do a ton of shit to prevent execution remotely. Until they do it, shut the fuck up. Also torrent files have mostly been replaced by magnet links which are less traceable and allow for sites hosting them not to be liable.
Asher Baker
Torrents are an idea, not a specific program. If the protocol were ever shut down, a similar one would spring back up.
Even if MS were to start taking draconian measures, the fact remains that it's becoming less and less of a problem every day to switch to Linux. Today you can play basically any pre-2007 game on Linux. What number does that have to be before people start switching over in droves?
