An acquaintance has been showing us
some YouTube videos by TechGumbo, eg,
lots of short advice talks on Win 10
which she's just begun to tangle with.
One of them lists ~5 BitTorrent clients
one of these is is a product of Delft Uni:
This may surprise you (I didn't know this):
"Work on Tribler has been supported by
multiple Internet research European grants.
In total we received 3,538,609 Euro
in funding for our open source self-
organising systems research.
Roughly 10-15 scientists & engineers
work on it full-time.
Our ambition is to make darknet technology,
security and privacy the default for -all-
Internet users."
(Of course, it's an Open Source project.
As of 2017 they've rec'd 146,003 lines of code
from 56 contributors.)
'dunno if / how the newly passed EU Copyright
Law may affect this, but Tribler's work can,
of course, be used for legitimate file trans-
fer (eg, Linix / BSD / etc. Software distr'n)

FWIW: NL ranks Very Highly on var. "Happiness Scales"
(Meanwhile, in Outback SA, yet a pair of
Suicide Prevention meetings take place,
1 for men & 1 for tradees, across several
Outback towns.)
IMO: "AU needs more NL"
The Dutch aren't Afraid of Nuclear (dunno
if they're big on it yet, but "you wait"
until Safe, Small, Liquid-Fuel MSRs arrive
[ due ~2029 ] & show their stuff, both AU
& NL will be trying to buy some, I bet):
While AU continues its 1999 Nuclear En BAN,
the World hasn't FORBIDDEN its Scientists
& Engineers from using our Highest Energy-
Density, Green way to make Electricity.
"Nuclear energy in the Netherlands, per Wikipedia:
The Netherlands' only commercial nuclear reactor
is Borssele, which became operational in 1973 &,
as of 2011, produces about 4% of the country’s
electricity according to the world nuclear ass'n.
IEA statistics, however, identify only about 1.3%
of total primary energy supply (TPES).
The older Dodewaard nuclear power plant was a test-
reactor that was later attached to the national grid
but was closed in 1997.
A 2MW research reactor is located in Delft,
as part of the physics department of Delft Uni
of Technology. This reactor is not meant for
energy provision, but is used as a neutron- &
positron-source for research."
Perhaps I should say: NL is Not afraid of Science
(When I first visited NL I noticed a Renewable
Energy display facility, that all visitors see
when they [walk or drive] off the UK ferry…
Wind Mills, Solar Panels, colorful flags, etc.)
WATCH THIS SPACE (ie, in NL), as 2029 is coming.. ;~)
Meanwhile: HELP AU JOIN FRANCE, etc. END THE BAN!
"Sorry, Qld, NSW & Vic, Coal is a Dinosaur
best left to examine in Museums, IMO"
/End HappyRant :~)
Please, not again.
