I'm having a hard time grasping this. You're relying on a P2P protocol to host and transfer the files? Why not use FTP? Or use a Website that links to an FTP? You're obviously not concerned with any type of authentication, so why hasn't that been used?
Plus, why would you use your home connection to transfer these large files when you have access to an educational link(s) and Internet 2 to transfer the files between you? And I know the University of Montreal has VPN, so you could access the network from home to transfer to your colleagues in other academic institutions.
I'm sorry, but there are flaws here in what your claiming.
it doesn't matter why he does this or whether he's telling the truth or not. the point is there are probably hundreds of people who rely on their home internet being fully functional as part of their day to day work.
this does bring up an interesting point though. does anyone know if bell business accounts are also being throttled? |
