Re: I'm tired of ISPs implying usage = pirate
Oh look, it's the bandwidth hogs ... not |
said by fAcEtIOUs:said by psx_defector:But, oh, you only get "Linux ISOs" and "patches" that way right? Don't pretend like pirates are not a large part of the problem. Like when the Swedes passed a tougher anti-piracy law, traffic went down 33%. It must have been all those Linux distros that were no longer downloaded.  Couldn't have been a 33% drop because of pirates downloading less.{/sarcasm} Like Ignite said, it was actually on the upstream side.
I love how thieves, I mean Linux ISO downloaders, say they are DOWNLOADING Linux ISOs or Microsoft patches or watching videos (or insert latest craze) but fail utterly at logic when they post their monthly stats of 250GB uploaded and 300GB downloaded. Aside from illegal content (read: music, movies, and programs/games) there isn't enough legal content for someone to upload 250GB a month, consistently.
In the meantime, join a popular torrent swarm, say CentOS or Ubuntu. There are never more than a few hundred people in there. See the screenshot I posted ... and CentOS 5.3 was released pretty recently. |
