| The Internet is only a few years old ?? Want to know what the problem is with some of these comments over at TorrentFreak?
The ones making them must be about 15 yrs old.
This statement shows how little they really understand the internet:
The Internet is only a few years old
And how little they understand its origins; its development; and why it is the way it is now. And why the BitTorrent protocol with its ridiculous number of connections causes a problem.
P.S.> the internet has been widely available to academics since about 1974 and to the general public since 1984. The conversion to a widely available web browser based internet approx 1993.

| It is obviously old enough that the 15 year old is too stupid to Google it. 
Uhh, dipsh@t, your dad had Internet long before you were born. It was called AOL. Never heard of dial-up, huh? If that ain't proof our school system sucks I don't know what is. 
Gee, I remember the days when websites had a text only version. And, sometimes, I wish some still had that.

And yet you ignore the rest of the article to attack them because they said ONE thing that wasn't true. The article even made suggestions (#6) that you like and the rest of them, well expect for the first one, are feasible and could both benefit the Torrent community and the ISPs.
But with people like you who have no shame and tunnel vision about how the torrent network is nothing more than people sharing bootleg files and breaking copyright law, again another lie that you seem to cling to, makes you just as immoral as the thieves who break copyright law.
I will be honest TCH, there are some things that you and I will not agree with but I always respected your posts as very intelligent, through, and thoughtful. But what you did there really was disappointing. |

I haven't read the article yet, would it be fair to say that it boils down to them saying that access providers need to spend more cash without passing the costs along to them? |

| said by bogey780:I haven't read the article yet, would it be fair to say that it boils down to them saying that access providers need to spend more cash without passing the costs along to them? No they aren't saying that. Here is what they say:
ISPs need to upgrade their networks. So, invest in more Internet gateway capacity, 10Gbps interconnect ports, and peering agreements. 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.
5.) Build out networks to handle the increased load and pass the cost onto the consumer.
The upside: It works.
The downside: It’s most likely not economically sustainable. Without some other form of mitigation, the public’s appetite for content appears insatiable. Basically they want the ISPs to build out the system to meet their heavy demands. They say the ISP can pass on the costs, but they also say that isn't feasible.
So they admit their suggested idea just won't work.
So, they want what they want, and they don't care if their idea is feasible or not.

CompuServe and GEnie were around before AOL. Before those, there were academic networks that were supported by federal funds (via the DoD). |

Thats client design, a BT client could upload to 2-3 peers very quickly, when the block is done, disconnect, and connect to the next peer on its list from the tracker. |
