Hmmm, this plus VM's traffic shaping and network throttling, wonder where there gonna go next...
and this identifies the extent of illegal file sharing how? Did I miss the bit where they explain how they distinguish between file sharing of copyrighted material using p2p and sharing of e.g. latest builds of open source software using the same p2p protocols? Are they seriously going to have someone sit and assess every individual torrent being used, or just assume all torrents=illegal, all torrents on one specific tracker = illegal, or just take some arbitrary proportion as being illegal.Originally Posted by Hexus
I may be exposing my lack of any detailed knowledge here, but I understood downloading files on iplayer uses p2p protocols as well... I'm presuming there may be some easy way to identify traffic associated with that, or maybe not?
Im with the above comment. How can they tell the difference between Live for example and my sexeh pr0nz downloads ?
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I don't like the looks of this but like the other poster says, how they know what is what being downloaded/shared and whatever?
And after their "research" is complete, what are they going to do about it, I gotta a feeling that a ISP change might be needed soon.
I am assuming each packet has a label on it.
So, if you are downloading Crysis, e.g. each 100MB packet will have crysis labelled on it.
How about if it's encrypted? They might be able to detect if it's p2p, but that doesn't mean it's illegal - many legal things, such as Linux distros, are file-shared.
Get it done!
Kill off the theives.
Better not detect legit P2P for things like Linux distros as illegal. I don't pirate but do download Linux distros on a semi regular basis...
Another significant use of peer to peer technology aside from Linux distributions is for game patches, and what about the illegal file sharing that's not done done through the normal means (torrents) such as rapid share etc.
I don't think they thought this through very well.
I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.
Arn't the likes of BBC Iplayer etc done via a sort of p2p network aswell? Surely that would be a fairly substantial part of file sharing aswell?
