Yes, any program that accesses the network has the potential to be a security risk. It depends on the individual program you are using. Some P2P programs are not well coded and a 'hacker' can sometimes exploit them to install spyware (not to mention the program itself might contain the spyware!) or get a virus into your machine. I have't heard of any problems with bittorrent yet. It's not as complex as many other P2P programs and so probably less prone to security bugs.

Fyron, I imagine most of the lack of interest is because a lot of people already have these files. When there's an influx of new players (say, around summer '05), then it will probably be much more active. But then, it will probably be for things other than SEIV
