  2. Re:Ugh, that PDF link hung my browser... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you are using windows, it oftens appears that a PDF has hung the browser when it's actually the Adobe Reader sitting in the background with a dialog box asking if you want to upgrade your version. Try minimizing the browser window[s] and see if you can find a dialog like that.

    What a massive article, covers gnutella, freenet, napster, NAT Translation, hordes, all the hows and the underlying technology and concepts. But...

    Why isn't there a service where you can get full-speed from behind a firewall without portmapping? College students everywhere would rejoice. When I'm home I port forward and get the full pipe, but when I'm at college the firewall keeps my download speeds nice and slow. I know this because every once and a while I'll get lucky and some BT seed will connect and start sending me 80kb/s for about five minutes and stop. They made Supernodes to make the network more scalable and to make it work with firewalls. Can they make it work at full speed with firewalls?
