>From a malware perspective, Bittorrent is as dangerous as HTTP because
it lacks a search service.  Those torrent search services could at least
check in theory that something which promises to be an MP3 file is not
in fact an executable.

Other file sharing protocols offer a distributed search service and much
more difficult to control.
