There Is Ppl Who Can Code ‘N’ Help Us…But If There Is No Seeding…This Will Not Be The Cure To The Epidemic.

Nor The ISPs Will Be The Virus…But Ourselves Who Don’t Want To Share.

Greed Is Part Of Our Human Nature…We Have To Act Against It.

Much Respect To The Dev Team.

Yep I got the email from Comcast today. I’ll be dropping them as well. Gotta check into some DSL prices around here. Too bad..I’ve had them for many years now. This monitoring activity is BS. Now I feel like someone has broken into my home.

Comcast is nothing but a bunch of two-bit swindlers. Instead of getting more bandwidth capacity they decided to take what seemed the cheapest route.

I strongly dislike the point of view many ISPs around the world have assumed. Too often they pretend to know better than us about our actual needs. Too willingly they give in to illegal requests of the IFPI and block sites for no reason.

Perhaps it’s time for natural selection to take its toll.

Encryption will only go so far. Rogers (a cable company in Canada) implemented pcube boxes to shape bittorrent traffic, and the community responded by encrypting the packets so that the pcubes could not do DPI on them. Rogers in turn responded by resorting to throttling *ALL* encrypted packets, taking SSL and IPSec VPN applications with them. Needless to say many of us here in the Great White North are eager to see the outcome of Comcast’s current bout with the FCC as an indicator of what can be done about Rogers’ practices.

i take it with the total lack of response, the developers couldnt care less about the potential loss of the UK torrent underground or the anonanimity of non US users then?

about time!
bitTorrent has been behind the obfuscations/encryption game for the last five years!

[quote]“BitTorrent users are not the problem, they only signal that the ISPs need to upgrade their capacity, because customers will only get more demanding in the future.”[/quote]

Or rather, bitTorrent (level bandwidth usage) is not the problem, it is the future; and any service providers who dispute this are dinosaurs, likely to be toppled by their far-more evolved successors in the near future.
