Bittorrent becoming mainstream for legal downloads is a VERY good thing.

Most people don't notice these caps until they've had their ISP for a year. The reason ISPs can get away with invisible caps is because joe negro average user has not found out yet, and joe negro average user makes up 90% of their customers.

Once all of those people find out about this nonsense(and once everyone starts using this service, comcast will certainly be sending out more letters for less bandwidth used), it won't just be the enthusiasts who care. It'll be everyone who cares, and they'll actually have to upgrade their network before putting powerboost/8 mbps downstream into play.

I use comcast as an example because I am familiar with their nonsense. Any cable ISP can fit in there. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17902014 Mon, 26 Feb 2007 05:58:29 EDT Re: My Bandwith http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17897477 TKJunkMail :

So what's the advantage to this? They use my Bandwidth for DRMd movies and make even more money !??
Not on my upload they don't ! This will go nowhere fast. ;)
And cable companies will look to crack down on those users doing excessive uploading as usual. And becoming a de-facto server for Bittorrent's service will only speed your way to reaching the upload caps.
