 For what it's worth - Dial-up users
Lucky I'm about to upgrade to broadband then. I feel sorry for the other dial-up users though. 'Don't know if I'm on the wrong track here'. Perhaps some people don't realise exactly how slow & limited dialup is. With a total of 5-8 KB/s to play with & upld & dwnld bandwidth being the same thing, dial-up users don't have too many choices & are really at the mercy of other users. It certainly doesn't take long before people start to dwnld from me. If I allow incoming searches, it seems to affect my connection quality after a while. Perhaps this was just an illusion I don't know, but that was my conclusion. But if dial-up users who don't allow browsing are considered as freeloaders, then perhaps we should tell them not to bother using p2p at all. Hey that should certainly reduce the p2p traffic & size of the network. |
