P2P researchers? My @$$. Those guys in Delft eat up millions of subsidies but they can’t even prove that P2P is a more efficient technology than http downloading or streaming is.

By the way it isn’t. P2P is a horror for ISP’s. The UK ISP’s shut down the BBC iPlayer. BBC wanted to save £3 million by switching to P2P and that switch cost the UK ISP’s almost £1 billion for extra network costs. So they are back to old school streaming.

P2P is 99.9999 used for illegal file sharing which is just plain wrong. P2P users drive up the costs for broadband: the P2P users’ broadband links are sponsored by non-P2P users.

P4P solves just a small part of the problem. Yes it sucks.

I honestly don’t care if the pirate bay trackers go down… they’re almost always flooded with leechers and the download speeds are TERRIBLE because of that! Private trackers are much better.

This is why you have to start using private trackers.

Redesign p2p so when the servers go offline we share between each other, its been mentioned before & once it happens p2p will be unstoppable.

Seriously NubCakes the more $hit you say the bigger fool you look, how dumb can you be to pay for usenet & also download from private trackers.

NubCakes = “Hi everyone my name is nubcakes what’s your disability.
