You're right. I apologize for stealing the internet connection to download BitTorrent updates for my Linux PCs.
You know, there are legitimate uses for BitTorrent, and P2P programs.
You are like the people blocking and throttling the traffic, labeling everyone as a thief. |

You mean that I can't download legit files using BitTorrent technology on the internet connection that I am paying good money for?!?! Well then I am also sorry for allowing WoW to get that 300MB file through BitTorrent. I promise that I won't do it again if you don't tell anybody /sarcasm  |

In your specific example, World of Warcraft patching, Comcast saves a bunch of money by the clients using BitTorrent. Using BitTorrent, I am downloading most of the patch from neighbors and other users of Comcast.
If Comcast, kills BitTorrent on their network, I would love to see them have to pay for ALL of the data to come across their network.
Priceless. |
