Re: I think it's interesting...
If you look at nothing but the 10,000ft view of the TCP flows and traffic profile, yes, P2P and Botnets look identical. |

| .. and that's different from kids who install BitTorrent because their friends tell them they can get free MP3s how?
Granted, it doesn't apply to the Vuze discussion directly. If Vuze is so concerned about the performance of people downloading their content, they should stand up more seed servers on their dime. |

| spoken like Comcrap shill.... no matter how many servers Vuze uses the bottom line is Comcrap is throttling the traffic. A gazilion servers could be on one end of the pipe and the traffic is still being throttled...

Therefore if there were a gazillion source servers outside of Comcast's network, your client would just need to download and not upload, and there would be no throttling involved. |
