Re: How "traffic shaping" will negatively impact neuroscience:

FTP is usually too slow and cumbersome for simultaneous downloads. Especially those that require frequent modifications/alterations/re-ups. Back when we did use to FTP, it seemed a total nuisance. Compare how google docs functions as opposed to sending pdfs back and forth, and you'll get my meaning.

VPN/PPTP is too platform-picky, and not everyone is every country can be expected to have the necessary commonality. Sometimes I'm sharing with people using Mac OS 9.2.

We started using P2P because it was the simplest option. I work from home for the exact same reason.

I hope that answers your concerns; I don't really have time to field any more of them!

How convenient...

Anyhow, I still don't understand why you perceive FTP as usually too slow and cumbersome for simultaneous downloads if you have access to your Universities unlimited bandwidth/resources and so would the other countries and FTP is a standard that works across ALL platforms.

This is very interesting. Our radiologists in this area do read CT, MRI and X-rays from home. In fact, I had a CT read within minutes once in the middle of the night. CT scans can't be that small. And all we have around here is Bell 5 meg down or Rogers cable internet. I've invited some Bell folks into this discussion. You raise some very interesting points. Thank you.
