"With AllPeers you just click on a link for a torrent and it's just like downloading a normal file; you can download it right in the browser," Matthew Gertner, Allpeer CTO, told InternetNews.com .

We look at ten of the worst of them. Beyond obvious, nagging problems such as e-mail spam, phishing lures, viruses, and spyware, a great many commonplace online frustrations--some dating all the way back to the earliest days of the Web--remain unfixed. We asked visitors at our online forums to identify what they consider the most dysfunctional aspects of the Web; then .
