Well, if the p2p program gets chunks of data from all sources, anyone with a faster uplink will complete faster and thus get more chunks (as the p2p program requests new chunks from each peer as the previous one is finished), and thus produce more traffic. Not much intelligence, just the way they work. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
