Acknowleged. I tried to use BitTorrent myself once but I knew how it worked somewhat much like a high-speed shared P2P. It takes chunks of data at a quarter of a MB each and are each distributed to other peers in random order. The pieces get reassembled on the requester machine. It tries to find the best pathway connections to the missing pieces while providing an upload path to the pieces that it already has. Higher the demand in bandwidth the more throughput you get with additional "seeds" or pieces of the total file become ready for the group. I didn't know how to use it.
I might try it again its been many months since I had tried it but this news about that Bitorrent user being jailed tells me not to. Bitorrent has net fingerprint and signature tracking features built into it. I got to go through those tutorials real carefully just to learn about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary VanderMolen Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 3:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Soft: Though you mig ht want to look at t his - Bit Torrent us er jailed? Let's not automatically pronounce all BT users "guilty". There are legitimate uses for BT and other P2P services. Gary VanderMolen ----- Original Message ----- No surprise there BitTorrent and the users who use the system are just as guilty as are other P2P file sharing services out there on the net. -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
