I'm a bit confused by your statement. Are you saying it's more cost effective for ISP's to carry downloads thousands of miles across the US before giving them to the end user than it is to allow a local end user to "upload" them to other local end users? Is this only a biproduct of the centralized downloads being throttled by thousands of miles of network, and/or a single centralized server? -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
