 Something I saw in a negative review for Skyway USA

Lastly, they never mention up front that you can't do any ptp or that any music downloading from like iTunes is basically going to be impossible.
Is that true? I'm in the process of switching from HughesNet to something, and I was looking at Skyway USA. I need something that'll download music on iTunes and videos on YouTube quickly, is the person in that review incorrect?

I'm not having issues with utube but I can't comment on itunes because I get my mp3s off of newsgroups, which I'm more comfortable with for virus reasons. These files are coming in fine.

You already know about FAP usage, so far I have to reccommend skyway.

No Jeff, it has nothing to do with apple at all. I got burned by services like morpheus and such and don't own an ipod, so I've never really done more than look at it.

It's just my "fit". I'm sure apple is safe as anything, I just have a need for it. I can grab whole collections, the bot converts them, and I'm a happy camper.

I don't think there's any peer-to-peer in itunes -- the content comes from apple so if there were viruses there they would be from apple's servers.

I agree. I have no issue with apple. I just don't use itunes, don't have an ipod, and am happy with binary files with newsbinpro.

No one's answered my first post. Can you download songs on iTunes and P2P programs using Skyway? I could on HughesNet.
