Blowfish has been passed up by newer encryption algorithms that are faster and better. Most notably, by Rijindael. PDF on it is at:

National Institute of Standards and Technology finished an exhaustive test of all the top encryption programs, and made their selection. Google N.I.S.T, encryption selection, and check out Wikipedia cryptology portal for more info and links. And of course, google "Blowfish" if you're still interested. It is a good program, but not top tier, anymore.

National Institute of Standards recently finished an exhaustive test of all the top encryption programs, and made their selection. Blowfish wasn't even considered good enough to enter the final round.
