P2P wasn't dying last time I checked.

And you are correct that there are other ways of getting tunes. The United States Postal Service (or your local equivalent) is a good way of getting your tunes and ware[s][z] from one place to another. Flash mobs with wireless access points is another good way. Just get a few 802.11a or g access points, a VIA mini-itx PC, some hard drives and a car. You can figure the rest out yourself. The best part of this is Comcast or [insert your bandwidth capping bastard ISP here] can't shut you off for this. You can also go with zmodem to bypass acquiring an IP addy for ware[s][z] that you can't get due to the RF propagation characteristics of 2.4 and 5 gigacycles.

Maybe, but legitimate use + Pron is greater than Music & Movie downloads.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11721888 Fri, 29 Oct 2004 13:49:43 EDT Re: Sacramento was toyed with as well... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11721791 Nightfall :

I thought that p2p had legitimate uses in distributing open source operating systems and PC game code?
It does have legit uses. However, the legitimate use does NOT exceed illegitimate use.

I'm an experienced network support tech, and found that downloads ONLY with Kazaa were being throttled back, within a certain port range. Many calls by myself and others in Sacramento resulted in Comcast callcenter techs giving us the same answer: "We do not support 3rd party applications". Mysteriouisly, 3 months later, it worked all of a sudden. No answer as to why it was done, but I suspect they were "testing the waters" to see how much public backlash would occur if they restricted P2P on their network.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11721166 Fri, 29 Oct 2004 12:40:14 EDT
