If where you live both has no equivalent of the DMCA and neither software patents, then that must be a cool place to live. But however the blogspot link hints that you live in the UK which has a form of both currently implemented.
There's a world outside of the USA, and not every country has a DMCA equivalent. Quite the opposite - there are many European countries, for example, where "fair use" actually still means something.
I guess you never heard of EUCD? Already enforced in most EU countries:(

[turn on WEP and MAC => almost safe]
Depending on WEP is a joke, depending on MAC addresses to limit access is even a bigger joke. So why aren't you modded funny?
Imagine installing something that actually prevents the need to parse and compiler for every request, I guess that would help. That something could be http://eaccelerator.net/ (never used this or some other "accelerator" though).
If there were a way to specify a subsitute or alternate URL that would only be used in case of emergency when all the P2P seeds are down, it would save on bandwidth costs but also allow for a backup to turn an unfinished peer into a seeder. Then once their was a 100% seeder, the alternate URL would not need to be used, only the new seeder.
Any decent client has these kind of options for seeding (I can only talk for Azureus (which also provides a tracker)):
seed atleast x% and after that only if there are no minimun of seeds left or if the seeder/leecher ratio is below something.
The effect is somehting that you describe and this all with only 1 protocol.
Why can't these people design a protocol more like HTTP? Both the data and control packets can go out over a single TCP port and it's very easy to proxy.
You did read the protocol? Since this is exactly how peers communicate!
The problem your transfers are slow is because you can't connect to enough peers (which can be fixed by either party by being connectable by either unblocking or forwarding a port).
Funny, but that pressreleases shows a nice blank page with the version of Opera I use. Maybe I have to upgrade to fully take advantage of XHTML:)

In raw processing power an iPAQ is much faster than a 486@66Mhz, atleast as long as you're not using FP (the StrongARM lacks an FPU). According to http://distributed.net/speed/
RC5: SA 270kkeys/s -> P5 200Mhz
DES: SA 470kkeys/s -> P5 110Mhz
OGR: SA 1.1Mnodes/s -> P5 233Mhz
BTW Ofcourse distributed.net is not ment for serious crossplatform benchmarking
BTW2 The iPAQ as a whole does feel slower (IMHO mainly due to the display)

The DMCA equivalent is called EUCD and prohibits circumvention of encryption (see the dvdshrink stories), the other is called Computer-Implemented Inventions. Som casestudies of granted patents can be found at http://www.patent.gov.uk/about/ippd/issues/cii-wo

I upgraded my asus pundit's bios with a usb drive in floppy emulation mode (this thing has no floppy).
Don't know about what the XP installer makes of the drive though.

Hmmm, here (.nl) an iPAQ 3630 costs about 25$ less than an m505 in some stores (this is without the 50$ refund from Compaq IIRC).
