What signature defines me as a person?
Is there a readily available technical solution for the following?
;-)
20 people connected to a Wireless LAN.
Each person commits 10-20% of their 56k dial-up connection for a server on the network to use.
A program (running on the server) requests portions of "large files" by either:
1) Connecting direct and requesting via ftp/http. ie. 20 requests for 5% using file resuming and then stopping when the amount has been pulled down.
2) Connecting to another server on the web which proxies the data and chops it up for streaming.
Does this kinda setup already exist? If so please cast me an URL

I actually managed to get my hands on a bit of beaver while at Caltech, though I've had my hands on quite a bit more since leaving. So much for your "never seeing the real thing" theory.
Oh wait...
