[...] A lot of people argue about the the negative aspects of BitTorrent and how it is affecting the industry. There is also a positive aspect, but it all depends on how you are going to use it. Many universities have banned the usage of BitTorrent, but there are some others which have allowed it in order to spread the knowledge. Stanford is among such universities which have realised the importance of BitTorrent and allowed their students to use it. [...]

Dumb debate above in the form of comments, a torrent is much like a gun, used well, it’s an excellent tool, but like a gun, it can also be used illicitly. You want to ban torrents… why not ban the internet too since it contains so much nudity, while you are at it, lets ban religion too since it’s the primary source of all warfare and human suffering.

Hope bit torrent is the downloading software.I had used bit torrent two weeks back.The downloading speed by using bit torrent was poor.It takes only quater of the total BW(Band Width)availabe which is a time consuming for most of the low speed internet users.While the other download mangers will take total avaible BW at the time of downloading.This may be not good for the university students.

So what if they’re only providing it on their own tracker? How hard would it be to re-up it on another public or private tracker for everyone?

By: :D

:D — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 07:59:26 +0000

@13 : moot – BS you downloaded 15Gb from The Pirate Bay in one day…

… there is no way that crappy public tracker is that fast.

It’s a slow pile of crap that enthusiastic 12 year olds and anyone else that clueless about how to get files use. If they think it’s “great”, “FTW” and “the best EVAR!” it shows how truly clueless they are about how to get quality releases fast.

stanford’s policy has always been to release and make available all its course informstion and learning and knowledge for free for everyone everywhere

stanford is the leader in freedom of access, information and opportunity

unfortunately they design a system based on evil dht which is known to be the tool of the anti-p2p. trackerless connections are a way to monitor your activity

maybe stanford is being idealistic, maybe they are right, whatever, when institutions join bittorrent then everything becomes more sunshine

ernesto i was gonna comment this week on stanford’s open library policy in the article about text books but it was too big to post. you did it succinctly dude, congratz and thanks

Seen the odd bit of porn on torrents, but child porn is never found, why is this ? any public tracker will be open for all to see, who want’s their ip address linked to child porn ?

Maybe moot is writing from personal preference and experience ?
