One of my more time consuming hobbies is fansubbing anime. One of the most dependable and fast ways for us to allow people to download our episodes is via bit torrent. Bittorrent allows for a small group, without a.edu xdcc bot, to be able to send their files to many many more people than before. Did you expect people to be so reliant on bit torrent? Especially the wide range of users, being ISO distros and anime episodes distribuition.
ahh... finally all the best music from Final Fantasy, Chronotrigger and Xenogears, all without searching for them off of different soundtracks or kazaa.
there's always a deal to be found...

as long as you can run faster than the security guards at Best Buy.
Now that I have read most of the threads, seems like everyone is a bit worried. When I read the post I thought, "hmmm....he quit? wierd. It was easy money." I am asking myself, these people who talking as if this will inevitably happen must know that one can definitively tell if someone is using NAT. I see a few talking about "something in the tcp stream". What are you guys talking about? I am seriously asking this question because I would like to know. It would be great if someone can clear this up for me. What is in a NATed session that is so unique as to distinguish itself from a non-NATed session?
Please advise.
really, if you use nt or 2k all you have to do is to enable ip forwarding and change the gateway on the internal boxes. I believe it's in the tcp/ip properties.
It's best though if you masquerade with a linux box.
As you can see, there is really no such thing as not allowing multiple users to use a single connection. This is for no other reason then the fact that it can not be enforced.
The best anyone could do is to _guess_ whether someone is using NAT. That's 2 bytes. Just look at a nat trans table, you can never make a definitive case. I am surprised this is even attempted. Wierd.
I don't know why people are talking about OS fingerprinting. Even if we allow the fingerprint to be correct, what the hell does that say about nat? All servers can do packet forwarding.
I don't really care about the size of the file

Non-MP3 Codecs?

I will probably continue to use mp3 format files, because it is basically the standard that everyone on the internet goes by. If you have broadband and a decent hard drive, size/bitrate should not be a deciding factor. Unless you're one of those that hear like a dog, mp3s should be sufficient for everyone to use.
Maybe now we can finally compare internet prices while shopping at the store. No more printing out ridiculous sheets of amazon.com's catalog or writing down numerous prices for different items. Very cool.

Perhaps people should stop talking about what this will do to customers. That's a few steps after a more important ...
