Freenet might be that way, but Gnutella is not --- you share what you want to. You do need to be careful that it's configured correctly however, as apparently some test searching indicated that many people are sharing more than they intended (like quicken files with account numbers). You also need to be careful about some of the commercial software, which installs spyware. Disclosure: I have friends who are peripherally related to Morpheus, which is a commercial Gnutella client, though I think it's spyware-free. I'm not sure though. I would recommend installing ad-aware first, as it detects spyware and disables it. As the host ISP for the OEVA website, I'll volunteer to host video files; to be honest, I think the bandwidth demand will only last for a few days, though peer2peer is a good long term plan. -- Alan Batie ______ alan.batie.org Me [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / www.qrd.org The Triangle PGPFP DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A \ / www.pgpi.com The Weird Numbers 27 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 \/ spamassassin.taint.org NO SPAM!
