Better Than Bit Torrent, For Internet2 Users?

Posted by timothy on from the we-had-one-atom-to-share-and-liked-it dept.

FastDownload writes "New technology for doing mulitsource/multithread downloads of ISOs is making Linux users on Internet2 happy. It's called Logistical Networking and is being developed at the University of Tennessee. Though there are some obvious similarities to Bit Torrent, Logistical Networking uses fixed, shared infrastructure instead of being peer-to-peer, which makes it useful for moving big content even when no peers are available."

    I think the Internet2 users should use Kazaa Lite and eMule just like the rest of us. Throw caution to the wind, screw the RIAA.

    DRM is like antifreeze, to the MPAA/RIAA it's sweet, to the consumers it's poison.

    Please put me on Internet2. Internet1 is old and busted. I've seen all the pr0n, downloaded all the songs, and I'm tired of getting viagra penis spam 418 times a day.

    I'll be a good boy next year, you can believe it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Johnny

    Kirk would kick Picards little French butt all over the vinyard. Then he'd bang all the whores in Paris.
