Re: Is attbi throttling kazaa/grokster in Sacramento?

ATT has nothing to do with it. The anti file trading saviors of the universe, have decided that trading is a threat to the very existence of all humanity. What you are experiencing, is a denial of service attack. Not directed at you per se, but at the server of the files. Some of the p2p programs have a back door, that allow anonymous file access to their shared folder. The number of connections to this back door can't be regulated or detected. So all they do is make a shit load of requests, and eat up all the bandwidth. I read about this some place. I'll see if I can find it.
