Client won't sync to the network, no connections? Wallets newer than 0.8.1.1 should not have this problem as a network crawler is included. Anyone with problems, see adding seeds and crawler instructions
hereAlso for
MAC *
Open or closed source? Parts of the client, the 2FA security feature ONLY, is closed source until the project is more established and then it will all be open sourced. Confirmation details are
here*
Are BitTorrent files free or paid for? It will be up to users to decide if they want to charge for seeding. If charging for seeding, it will be done by charging for bandwidth or cost per mb. See
here and
here *
Are transaction anonymous? Yes, if you want them to be. The client can use a similar type of encryption to Monero
{
suggestRingSize()
449 if (fDebugRingSig)
450 LogPrintf("sendCoinsAnon()\n");*
Does vTorrent support mobile? Yes. But that feature is not yet released. See details

Is TOR or I2P supported? The clients seem to have the code to support both TOR and I2P if you know what you are doing
enum Network
{
NET_UNROUTABLE = 0,
NET_IPV4,
NET_IPV6,
NET_TOR,
NET_I2P,
NET_MAX,
};
*
Does the wallet support HD back-up? Yes.
BIP-0032:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawikiThis document describes hierarchical determinstic wallets (or "HD Wallets"): wallets which can be shared partially or entirely with different systems, each with or without the ability to spend coins.
BIP-0039:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawikiThis BIP describes the implementation of a mnemonic code or mnemonic sentence -- a group of easy to remember words -- for the generation of deterministic wallets.
BIP-0044:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawikiThis BIP defines a logical hierarchy for deterministic wallets based on an algorithm described in BIP-0032 (BIP32 from now on) and purpose scheme described in BIP-0043 (BIP43 from now on).
*
Will torrents be stored on the blockchain? Not sure yet. It is likely that the client will have its own version of BitTorrent running, so you may not need to store magnet links or torrent file links on the blockchain. Instead, you may interact with BitTorrent functionality built in, using an internal token that gets interchanged with vTorrent currency
*
Is vTorrent illegal software? No. vTorrent is a dual use software tool. For example, BitTorrent is legal because you can use it for legal purposes. If people choose to use it for illegal purposes, then they are breaking the law. Please report them to the local authorities. You can read about the most famous dual use case law which makes software like vTorrent legal

Does the client support anonymous social networking? Yes. That is a planned feature. Riot is like a slack channel. It currently runs on the Matrix network and servers, but vTorrent is planning to implement Riot and run it on the vTorrent network. The alternative is to use a simple iFrame to load a Riot chat channel into the client. See

Will vTorrent support classified listings and or a market? That is an open feature request
