Apparently, this has been out for awhile now. I’ve always used PeerGuardian PG2 when downloading torrent. But ever since I updated to Windows 7, 64 bit, I found you have to run a tweak, for the OS to load the un-signed driver. We’ll, not any more folks.
Statement from Phoenixlabs.org:
PeerGuardian 2 users should check out PeerBlock, which just released version 1.0. It is a continuation from where PeerGuardian 2 development left off, with many bug fixes and support for Windows Vista and Windows 7.
So forget PeerGuardian 2, and start using PeerBlock 1.0.

BuddyPress, which is a WordPress MU plugin, that adds a social network to your blog, is planning on releasing version 1.1. With the new release, the way the themes are structured are going to be greatly changed. The new release will adopt a parent / child architecture.
The current layout, as you may know, involves two separate themes. One for your landing page (blog), known as bphome, and the other theme for the members side, known as bpmember. With the new release, you’ll be using a parent / child theme structure.
The new layout, will require you two store both themes in the /themes folder. The parent theme is labeled bp-sn-framework and the child is bp-default.
If you wan’t to checkout the new plugin before it’s released, and get a feel for the new theme structure, checkout the latest svn with the following.
svn co http://svn.buddypress.org/trunk
If you don’t want all the SVN files to be downloaded, run the following.
svn export http://svn.buddypress.org/trunk
