Re: I think it's interesting... If you look at nothing but the 10,000ft view of the TCP flows and traffic profile, yes, P2P and Botnets look identical. |

 | Slight difference in that botnets are filled with unwilling participants who were conned into participating, and the collective effort is generally geared toward illegal activity. |

Granted, it doesn't apply to the Vuze discussion directly. If Vuze is so concerned about the performance of people downloading their content, they should stand up more seed servers on their dime. |

Therefore if there were a gazillion source servers outside of Comcast's network, your client would just need to download and not upload, and there would be no throttling involved. |
