How about a P2P download manager ? A distributed download manager which download files in chunks on nodes in a corporate / college LAN where bandwidth is restricted on a per node basis ;) On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 1:51 PM, आशीष शुक्ल Ashish Shukla wahjava.ml@ gmail.com wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 ,--[ On Fri, May 09, 2008 at 07:54:46AM +, PJ wrote: | Golly goshers! | | While building a bandwidth monitor for MTNL today I was thinking of a way of | (ab)using a peculiar MTNL quirk: viz: uploads are not capped on any of their | broadband plans.

Golly goshers! While building a bandwidth monitor for MTNL today I was thinking of a way of (ab)using a peculiar MTNL quirk: viz: uploads are not capped on any of their broadband plans.
