Maybe someone in the ISPs or SEACOM or KDN should share with us info on the amount of data that flows through the ports za Utorrent, limewire and other file sharing apps. Its bad, its ugly, but its here to stay. On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 2:47 PM, Phares Kariuki <pkariuki@gmail.com> wrote:

@RAD, when you get a huuuge internet bandwidth (like i am sometimes getting), what immediately comes to mind? I can bet to many, its a question like "how long does it take to download a torrent? or a movie , or in some cases, a really big file like the debian multi arch iso. but trust me the first reaponse has to do with downloading a file that is not necessarily legal.
I think the whole concept of file sharing is here with us.
Collins, but isn't torrenting a *user* driven initiative? Its for us to do that ourselves? Get some brave souls to start up thepiratebay.co.ke? P2P is like asking pharmaceuticals to sponsor Canabis/Cocain sales, they would never touch it with an 8 foot pole (the example is slightly exaggerated, forgive). Even for the telco's, sponsoring p2p is detrimental to their business, as we max out the band...
