Since some p2p programs now use well known port numbers allocated to other things eg port 80, is it even possible to block/rate limit them? And have folks attempts at blocking caused this move to use such port numbers which imho is not a good thing.. Steve On Tue, 22 Jul 2003, Fletcher E Kittredge wrote:

no
Do you have plans to control peer-to-peer traffic?
no
Are you imposing other total traffic download/upload limits?
no
Additional comment: we market based on "no limits" and so far have met our expectations of doing very well against competitors that limit. I don't think limiting is viable in the long run...
