Re: bit torrent
FWIW, I've noticed that sometime in the last few months, bit torrent doesn't upload correctly any more. My download speeds (in Urbana) seem fine, and data is uploaded at normal speeds while downloading, but after something finishes and moves to the seeding queue then it completely stops uploading, regardless of the BT client, which computer it is running on, or how many unfinished peers are left. If I seed something myself (meaning that I do no downloading at all) then the torrent never does anything. Next time I am downloading something big I'm going to try throttling the download speed to let it upload longer. |

who gives a crap what people are doing on the internet, these people are destroying the internet. We should not be monitored and taken to court as users. |

said by dinzy :Try firewalling your BT client. For some reason Azureus messes up my NIC and causes torrents to go yellow.(probably due to how it has many simultaneous torrents going due to low upload speed) Sometimes I get better download speeds when they are yellow. So basically make yourself unconnectable and see if it helps or not. Bad Bad Advice...For one Azureus doesn't "make" your torrent's go yellow, yellow status could be for a couple reason's
1)You are unconnectable
2)You are not seeing connections to both peers and seeds
I don't think there is enough info here to make a decision as to why he is having trouble...
How many seeds/peers where on that torrent?
Is your client setup properly with port forwarding from your border device or software firewall? |

The BT problem must only be in certain areas, as i've never had any problem with BT. I've found that using Azureus i get better speeds then using any other client.

Tweb,
people are being sued for THEORETICAL loss of revenue (and exorbitantly so). If someone downloads the movie and goes to the theater to see it, very little (if any) revenue is lost. Of course, there's always the flip-side, wherein someone watches a bootleg copy and decides not to go see it after that.
Here is the problem. IF one went to the Theater and bought the DVD at a store the studio's get $$ twice. When you are downloading it because you already saw it get are only getting $$ once. Even if it is just a few pennies they are not making it does add up. So the studios go after Insight to find out who is sharing these for download. To scare people from downloading them they have large fines. The fine has no connection to the movie, other than that the movie was downloaded. |

said by tweb2 :I in fact DO understand the fundamental point of copyright. Clearly you don't. You keep relating it to value. It has nothing to do with the value of what's being copied.
There's not much point in debating the point if you don't understand it's purpose.
