Re: Stop misusing "Net Neutrality"
Well.. since this only affects Comcast users UPLOADING on the network and not your ability to download on the comcast network from legit sources, as your data center, then you should have nothing to complain about today, huh?
Bit-torrent on the upload on a residential "no server policy" is not welcome according to the TOS everyone agrees too.. I see this as a moot point and a waste of time.. as I'm sure Comcast is as well. Any more non-news today? |

... Again
P2P applications are nodes. Nodes are members of a Peer-to-Peer architecture.
Servers are members of a Client-Server architecture. This is pretty basic stuff. Only the people that drink the weak cool-aid cannot understand it.
AND FINALLY, Comcast itself has said that BitTorrent is welcome on their network.
Who is wasting whose time with this old misinformation?
PS: eDonkey does have a server that assists with searching and providing location services for firewalled nodes. That is a true server. A BitTorrent website (a server) provides half of that functionality for BitTorrent, and a BitTorrent tracker (also a server) provides the other half. In these three cases, these are truly servers. But the regular user just being part of a P2P network (be it file sharing, telephony, distributed computing, or whatever) is not a server.

.. I don't care WHAT you call it.. if you have a piece of software running on a machine that is serving a file to the request of another client and it's doing so on it's own, it's a server.
If it walks like a duck...
I do give you credit for your very creative ways of spinning things to meet your needs and to fit your views. The problem is, you are still wrong.
In the end, it doesn't matter how YOU want to see and describe something, it's what you agreed to, and what you are saying in your posts ... well... what ever floats your boat. Sorry life is so rough for you. |

So despite all of my examples, both from accepted and authoritative Engineering sources, historical references, and Comcast's own statements regarding P2P on their network -- I'm wrong simply because you say so.
Whatever.

| No.. what you're doing is spinning and mis-applying terms to best suit your needs. That's why you are wrong.
Ever heard of context? You said node... you know that a node means different things based on it's application.. so please.. be like Avis and Try Harder. |
