Bill, I'm lost in cyberspace... writes "News.com has an article up about a Direct Connected P2P network set up at universities which are on Internet2. This is majorly cool! More direct information is available at i2hub.com for those lucky enough to be located at a University with Internet2 access."

    What you need to do now is develop an application that can use multiple ports, to transfer 1 file. In other words the application opens x number of specified ports (say 10 for example), and then splits the transfers over all 10 ports, thereby increasing your bandwidth by 10 times. This is of course assuming they cap each individual session to the 1/k limit and not by ip address (this should be easily testable, just open up 2 or 3 FTP sessions and see if the rate decreases). It shouldn't be too hard to design an app that is capable of this..
