Companies will never learn that people use P2P because you can trade files free on it, people don't want to use P2P to buy stuff. If I'm going to buy something I expected dedicated bandwidth not P2P. P2P is great for distributing free stuff, but sucks if you are paying to use your bandwidth to send files to other people.
I agree! And its what i've been saying all along! If i'm going to pay $$ I want a super fast deticated server that will let me download the file at 1mb a sec or more.

Re: Sigh

5k/s is not my normal BT speed. what are you doing wrong? i do agree though that if i was paying for it i'd want dedicated speed.

 Legit download or not, it didn't matter, I was getting 5KB/s for a while. Then I figured out how to open ports on my firewall. Now I can max out a 5 mbps connection with just a decent torrent or two. Granted the file size is a little different, but for comparison sake, last night I dl'd a 20MB file on BT, in about 1.5 mins, most of that being startup time and making the connections to peers.
