    The link says "under construction". Do you use it? Why should people use this and not others?

    PeerGuardian is NOT a replacement for other firewalls, to even call it a firewall is not a good idea. A firewall does a lot more than what PeerGuardian can do. PeerGuardian just blocks access to certain I.P. addresses e.g. RIAA, MPAA etc. It is mainly intended for P2P users, so if you don't use P2P programs then you don't need it.
