Hey guys, I just wanted to pose this to you all as I know a lot of you 
are far more knowledgeable about this sort of stuff than I (as I decided 
about 6 years ago to give up the tech/programmer "ghost" :p)

Is forcing your P2P program to encrypt its data sessions actually 
worthwhile? For instance in UTorrent I have encryption set to forced, 
but it seems to me that in todays day and age this would mean very little.

I've got nothing to hide other than a few downloaded episodes, but I've 
always been a security nut about information and data so it's something 
I've been wondering about.

On a slightly different but related note, and the reason I decided to 
post this, has anyone here watched the series Reaper? Sounds like a lot 
of fun and I'm looking for something to watch after my Chuck marathon 
(great series :D).
