Re: Number of connections
said by AmeritecTech  : Anyway, the ISPs I've seen mentioned lately are limiting the number of connections a BitTorrent user is able to make, which encryption would be helpless to stop. Which brings up the question: "Why am I paying for a faster tier?" BT is, IMHO, the best way to download free software, it keeps the bandwidth costs down for the developer. Think about it when the next Fedora comes out, how much would it cost RedHat to let everyone download it from their servers, compare that to what it costs them to run a tracker, and let the users download it from each other.
