I would just like a way to increase my upload amount without actually having to upload, not because I want to rip anyone off but the site I download has a share ratio rule… Now I live in the country and am limited to dial up but when I lived in the city I had broadband and shared almost always more than downloading but now it is hard to achieve those same stats. Anyone know of a way I can alter my upload stats without consuming any bandwidth?

I was wondering how robust Bittorent would be against serious attack. If someone could generate data with the same hash as any piece of the file (birthday problem), then the file could be corrupted without anyone noticing. Does anyone think this would be possible?

Hmm there’s always a cheat foir everything eh. It is a pity that bit torrenting would have its cheats too as there are already most of the users blatantly selfish anyway!! For those idiots to be able to cheat without being noticed then the whole system would be affected, how much I can’t say. Sometimes I wonder if it is just being held up by the core of seeders who might be about 20-30% of users, carrying the other 70% of selfish so called ‘hit n run’ users.
Who knows.
Who cares?

“random choice in optimistic unchoking prevents clustering and starvation”
