Tankus Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 BBCKeen file swappers face speed limits It is not just the music industry that has a problem with file-sharing. Net service providers and network managers are struggling to cope with the deluge of data that peer-to-peer systems can generate. Many are adopting tools that limit how much of a network file-sharing systems can sequester. Some organisations are imposing daily limits on how much people can download. Persistent offenders who regularly exceed their quota are being punished with long-term download limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 it is evident that file sharing is rife particularly with the advent of broadband.if people that use p2p wish to extract the micheal then they can expect that the companies will impose limits....its common sense really.
